WINNING POWERS McFADDEN, son of TIMOTHY McFADDEN and an UNKNKOWN MOTHER .hE lived all of his life in Silver Hill , West Virginia. I have no knowledge of the location of his birth . he married his wife ,MARY JANE RINE on Jan. 5, 1889 , she was the daughter of ABNER RINE and SUSAN JANE BOBER (maiden name may be BAKER) about 1888. WINNING and MARY JANE (maiden name is spellied RYAN on marriage record) had eight children. LURAH ELVIRA b. July 29, 1889, MINNE LEONA b. March 6, 1891, CHARLES VINCENT b. January 2, 1894, JAMES HARLEY b. September 12, 1896, ABNER CECIL b. September 3, 1898, TIMOTHY ROSSIE b. Februray 7, 1900, OLIVE BEATRICE b. July 2, 1903, INEZ CLARISSA b. March 13, 1906. Several of these people are buried in the Joliffe Cemetery, near Silver Hill. WINNING owned and operated a stone quarry on Johnson Ridge near his home for several years. Family folklore terms him " a black dutchman" due to his dark characteristics and dutch heritage. Recently a first generation grandson of WINNING told me that he had designed a stirrup which would disengage from the saddle if the rider fell off. A deal had been made with an investor to patent and market the stirrup but for some unknown reason the deal fell through. Another piece of family folklore is that WINNING delivered mail to his neighbors from the local post office. I am interested in proving or disproving the family folklore.
TIMOTHY McFADDEN is buried in the Harlan Cemetery near Silver Hill. There is a single date on his headstone which I have assumed is his birthdate. That date is April 2, 1838. He served with Company C of the 17th West Virginia Infantry under the command of General Kelley during the Civil War. This regiment was organized in Wheeling , West Virginia on September 26, 1864 and muster out on June 30, 1865. There is another McFadden buried in the Harlan Cemetery. A woman by the name of ABIGAIL McFADDEN . She was b. January 21, 1830 and died July 24, 1880. I believe this woman is the wife of TIMOTHY but I have no proof. I have no knowledge of siblings for WINNING or any further infromation for TIMOTHY . PLease if you have any knowledge on these people or the family folklore I have mention email me .
I have just found out that ABIGAIL McFADDEN is the wife of TIMOTHY and the mother of WINNING. Her maiden name is Vorhes/Voorhes/Vorhees/Voorhess. She was born in on Jan. 21, 1830 in Belmont Co., Ohio. She and TIMOTHY were married on Oct. 28, 1860 in Belmont, Oh . They also had a daughter , SARAH E. McFADDEN .This information was found at Family Search and also includes information on her parents and 12 siblings. Sarah was born abt. 1865 and lived well into her 50's. She married F. M. Watson . |
