How about the Bible? I believe Paul had a oneness concept of the
Godhead. Ignatius was one of the early church fathers. His writings seemed
to have a oneness tone to them. We really don't read of any writers who
had a trinitarian tone to them until Justin Matyr came along and even then
the trinitarian concepts were very vague and just beginning to spring forth.
Ignatius: Jesus Christ, who was with the Father before the beginning of time, and in the end revealed...He, being begotten by the Father before the beginning of time, was God the Word, the only-begotton Son, and remains the same forever. (Ignatius, letter to the Magnesians, 6, in ANF, vol 1)

Oneness do not believe that the Son was with the Father before time began, Ignatius did as well as all the other Early church Fathers
