The 1866 marriage of Jesse Yelverton and his first wife names her as Susan Hoskins

Wayne County }
Know all men by these presents that we Jesse Yelverton and J M Jenkins are held and firmly bound unto the State of North Carolina in the sum of One Thousand Dollars current money to be paid to the said State: for the payment whereof well and truly to be made and done we bind ourselves our heirs executors and administrators jointly and severally firmly by these presents. Sealed with our seals and dated this 3rd day of Jan. A.D. 1866 The condition of the above Obligation is such and the above bounden Jesse Yelverton has made application for a license for a marriage to be celebrated between him and Susan Hoskins of the County aforesaid. Now in case it should not hereafter appear that there is any lawful cause or impediment to obstruct such marriage, then the above obligation is to be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.

1869 Penelope Dickinson leaves land to Susan Yelverton
This Indenture made this the 2nd day of November in the year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and sixty nine between Penelope Dickinson of the County of Wayne and State of North Carolina of the first part and Susan Yelverton wife of Jesse W Yelverton etc. the said Penelope Dickinson for and in consideration of the natural love and affection the said Penelope Dickinson has for the said Susan Yelverton etc. on the north side Aycock Swamp and bounded as follows, Beginning at a stake in the run of briery branch etc.
the 1881 division of Penelope does not show Susan as heir the only interpretation I can come up with is that for some reason the 1826 legitimation wasn't being honored making Judith and any of her children non legal heirs of sister Penelope according to laws of the time otherwise in place.
from the personal division:
APPLICATION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION.
James Dickinson, Burden & wife Elizabeth Peacock, And the heirs at law of Henry Dickinson Dec'd
are entitled as heirs and distributes thereof,
Sworn and subscribed before me, this 20th }
day of Dec. 1881 }
W T Yelverton } G.C.Garris Probate Judge.

Wayne County Divisions and Dowers 1867-1927 Book 1 pages 331-333
Upon reading and considering the petition herein it is considered and adjudged that E.G. Pippin, M.T. Johnson and J T Aycock disinterested persons be and they are hereby appointed commissioners to divide and appropriate in the proportion of one third to James Dickinson, one third to Elizabeth Peacock and one third to the heirs of Henry Dickinson, deceased named Julia, Amelia, James and Claudius, to and among the petitioners the lands mentioned and described in the petition etc.
whereas a true acknowledgement of the 1826 legitimation should have made any of Judith's legitimate children inherit a fourth (this would not be the case for Leonard, who by the way evidently didn't need it as he was more successful in the end than any of the rest of Julia's granddchildren so far as I can tell)
excerpt:
And be it further enacted, That the said Judith and Narcissa, be, and they are hereby declared to be legitimated, and forever shall be capable to possess, inherit and enjoy, by descent or otherwise, any estate either real or personal, to all intents and purposes, as if they had been born in lawful wedlock.
(See notes on Judith Dickinson for full coverage and credits)
It may simply be that Leonard had no legal ground to protest and Susan's heirs had already received an ample share by deed, so no protest occurred.
