Family members

Parents:

Christopher Singleton and Mary 1699(or 1704) - 1778 Husband: William Bracey 1748 - 1825

Children of Christopher besides Sarah Bracey: Robert Singleton 1726 - 1800

Christopher Columbus Singleton 1735 - 1827

Col. Matthew Singleton 1730 - 1787 NOTE: as of June 10, 2020 we have Christopher Columbus Singleton and Col. Matthew Singleton with the above date of births listed as sons of Robert Singleton II born 1692. So this is an example of a bit of confusion over which grandson of Henry Singleton I the immigrant to Virginia in 1637 was the actual father of Chris Columbus and Col. Matthew Singleton(one of our most famous American Singletons and from the well known Sumter, SC family line). Anyway there is only a 1st cousin distance in relationship between the two choices. But since this family line leads to Brig. General Dandridge McRae from the Civil War and Robert Jr's line is now claiming Col. Matthew Singleton of the Revolutionary War, it would be a dream coincidence to have both the Colonel and the General in the same family line. Besides that, this Singleton line through Bracey, McCrae, and McConaughey leads down to famous actor Matthew McConaughey. So Col Matthew Singleton would at least be x-times great uncle to the present day Matthew McConaughey.
