Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Solomon W. Wininger Sr.

From 1850 to 1880, Solomon and Elizabeth Wininger were living in Jackson County, Alabama.

On August 26, 1862, Solomon Wininger enlisted as a private in the Union Army in Company F, Third Ohio Cavalry. Solomon was sixty years old at the time and was listed five feet and six inches tall, dark complexion, black hair and black eyes. On June 15, 1864, Solomon was stationed near Marietta, Georgia and contracted dropsy (fluid accumulation) by reason of exposure. He spent time in hospitals in Nashville, Tennessee and Indianapolis, Indiana. On January 16, 1865, he re-enlisted in Company I, seventeenth regiment, Veteran Reserve Corps and was discharged at Indianapolis, Indiana on June 24, 1865.
The community of “Wininger, Alabama” was named after Solomon Wininger. This community is located about four miles northwest of Larkinsville, Alabama in Jackson County, Alabama. Solomon Wininger, Sr. died on October 10, 1885 in Jackson County, Alabama and was buried in the Wininger/Gentle Cemetery. In 1900, Elizabeth (Evans) Wininger was living with her daughter, Mallissa, in Jackson County, Alabama. Elizabeth (Evans) Wininger died on March 19, 1901 and was buried next to her husband in the Wininger/Gentle Cemetery.
The 1850 census lists Lazanga Wininger (male, born 1839) and Joseph Wininger (male, born 1840) living with Solomon and Elizabeth Wininger. Obviously, one of these refer Elijah Jasper Wininger (born 1840) and the other appears to be another son of Solomon and Martha Wininger. This additional son apparently had no children as no heirs were listed in the 1922 will. Lucinda Wininger never married. In 1900, Lucinda Wininger was living with her sister, Mallissa, in Jackson County, Alabama. Lucinda Wininger died on May 17, 1908 and was buried in the Wininger/Gentle Cemetery. Solomon Wininger, Jr. apparently had no children as no heirs were listed in the 1922 will.

Martha Potter

According to Annie (Evans) Hartline, “Solomon married his first cousin, her name was Martha Potter.”


Martha Wininger

MARTHA WININGER (32.3.3) is probably the daughter of Solomon W. Wininger and Martha (Potter) Wininger. Martha was born in 1833 in Alabama. It is not certain that Martha was a daughter of Solomon and Martha Wininger or that she was a daughter-in-law. The 1922 estate papers definitely indicate that a Martha Wininger and her daughter, Ellen McCormack, were heirs of Solomon Wininger. Martha is not listed in the 1850 census with Solomon and Elizabeth Wininger (Martha was about seventeen years old at the time). In 1860, Martha Wininger (born 1828 in Alabama) was living with her daughter, “M. E.” Wininger (born 1858 in Alabama) in Jackson County, Alabama. In 1870, Martha Wininger and her daughter, “Sarah E.” Wininger, were living with Solomon and Elizabeth Wininger in Jackson County, Alabama. Martha Wininger was the mother of at least one daughter:

TEDETON - TED(D)LETON - TETTERTON - TETTLETON
Jesse Tedeton stated he was born in 1828 in Wilcox County Alabama. I can't find evidence that this is true.
I find a John Tettleton or Tetterton married to a Jane Farish in 1826 in Clark County Alabama.
Jesse seems to have had brother John who went with him to Louisiana in 1848.
They started to spell the name Tedeton or sometimes Tedleton.
They both witnessed each others marriage lisence Jesse in Ouchita Parish in 1853 to Evaan Spillers and John to Lydia Ellen Spillers in Union Parish.
My name is Robert Lynn Tettleton and my grandfather was John Monroe Tettleton . His father was Frank Tedleton b.1855 in Louisiana but we do not know if John and Lydia were his parents.
John and Lydia married in 1854 and could have been his parents. We can not find Frank in the 1860 Union or Louisiana census or in 1870. We can find a John Teddelton 42 years of age living in the parish with the Dickerson family, but no Frank. Don't suppose he came back to Clark Co. in the 60's. Some of my Seale family went back to Butler Co. Alabama during that time. If any one knows of any of these people please get in touch.

Still searching for help in identifying Frank Tedleton who in 1880 was a farmhand along with his wife Alfretta on the James Kennedy farm. He apparently was my great grandfather since my grandfather John Monroe Tedleton, later Teddleton, Tettleton, was 10 months old and listed as their son. Alfretta was the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Smith, age 23 and Frank was 25. Alfretta later remarried a Samuel A. Foster and left the four children with the Dean Family and the Howard family of Rocky Branch are . The children were Gussie Tettleton, later the wife of Henry Rogers and Octavia (Ockie) Tettleton, later the wife of Louis Duty, and James Franklin Tettleton (Jim) who married Bessie Roy in 1920.
