 Was Oney Cypress “really” his name?
-The short answer is… no. Nor was "Oney Scyprett" correct. This is a wonderful example of how simple errors can so easily occur due to simple spelling mistakes. During the early 1700's, if a word, or combination of words, sounded the same... then it was generally considered correct. But in this case, a single Biblical name had morphed into two names.

-Both Oney Cypress Randal and his Uncle, "Oney Scyprett" Harvey, named in honor of his Hanna Harvey's Great Grandfather, Qnesiphorus Harvey (1677-1732). Qnesiphorus Harvey was the first Harvey in our line to make the journey from England to the colonies.

-The name Onesiphorus may not have been as popular as other Biblical names such as Matthew, Mark, and Mary, but that’s most likely to it’s five-syllable pronunciation or the problems the spelling would cause. The Biblical Onesiphorus was a personal friend of the Apostle Paul... and a great blessing to him. Onesiphorus lived up to his name, which means “bringing profit.”

The Biblical [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onesiphorus|Onesiphorus]] was a personal friend of the Apostle Paul... and a great blessing to him. Onesiphorus lived up to his name, which means “//bringing profit.//”
 Onesiphorus is only mentioned twice in the Bible, both times in the Epistle of 2 Timothy. Early in the Epistle, Paul writes a prayer of blessing upon Onesiphorus: “//May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day! You know very well in how many ways he helped me in Ephesus//” (2 Timothy 1:16–18). At the end of the letter, Paul sends greetings to “//the household of Onesiphorus//” (2 Timothy 4:19).

 Paul wrote 2 Timothy from a Roman prison cell. It was a difficult time for the apostle, made more difficult by trusted friends who abandoned him in his hour of need. “//You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes//” (2 Timothy 1:15). In stark contrast to these deserters was Onesiphorus, who stayed with Paul through thick and thin. In fact, Onesiphorus went out of his way to track Paul down and visit him in prison. In doing so, Onesiphorus showed great personal courage—it was dangerous to be called a Christian in Rome in those days—and compassion for the apostle.
+According to Orthodox tradition, Onesiphorus was one of the seventy disciples chosen and sent by Jesus to preach. They were chosen some time after the selection of the Twelve Apostles (Luke 10:1-24). Saint Onesiphorus was bishop at Colophon (Asia Minor), and later at Corinth. Both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches hold that he died a martyr in the city of Parium (not far from Ephesus) on the shores of the Hellespont.
+Ultimately, because the name Onesiphorus is relatively rare, its repetitive use (and variations of it) in our family line helps us confirm our lineage.

According to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration[[https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1991/winter/war-of-1812.html|Genealogical Records of the War of 1812]]: "//A microfilmed index to these records is available on Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers who Served During the War of 1812 (M602, 234 rolls).  The actual service records have not been filmed.  The service records show the soldier's name, rank, regimental unit (usually showing the last name of the regimental commander), the company commander's name, dates of service and pay, whether the soldier was a substitute, date of discharge, and sometimes, distance to the soldier's home from place of discharge.//" \\

+In order to confirm that Oney C. Randal was discharged by “furnishing a substitute”, one would need to examine the complete service record. However, this would explain why Oney’s name does not appear on any of the Muster Roles I’ve seen for that Regiment.\\
+\\
+The “War of 1812” lasted from June 1812 – February 1815.  It began when Oney as 16 years old and lasted until the month that he turned 19. One could speculate that Oney (who was a teenager at the time) may have volunteered without the consent of his father… who then “furnished a substitute” in order to get Oney out of the military.</note>
