Oxendine Family History

English: habitational name from any of several places called Oxendean in East Sussex and Kent or Oxenden in Kent, all named in Old English as ‘valley of the oxen’. This surname is not found in Britain.

In North America, it is characteristic of the Tuscarora and Lumbee Native American tribes of NC and is also associated with the Pee Dee Indians and the so-called Turks of South Carolina (also known as Turks of Sumter County; see Benenhaley).
