McFADDEN, McFADDIN, ROBERTS -
I am looking for information about Arthur Mcfaddin (McFadden) b. 1892 Mar, in Virginia d in the 1930s. Upshur Co. WV. He "seems" to have shown up on the 1900 Federal Census. I believe he is listed as a nephew for John and Milly McFaddin as an 8 yo living in Garden District Buchanon, Va. Both Milly and John are 41 at the time.
He is my maternal great grandfather, he married Nancy Roberts b.1897 in WV and died in Danville, Ohio in 1970s. They raised their children in Buckhannon, WV, including my grandmother Lillie Ruhemia McFaddin b. Jan 27, 1914 WV d.5/19/1977 in Garretsville, Ohio and her sister Bertha McFaddin ( my stepgrandmother).
Oral history in the family is that Arthur was dropped along with a sister in an orphanage while young, his mother was ill. Eventually she passed on, and the father ran off. I am trying to synchronize these two different versions of what happened to him. I know he was not adopted out to anyone (per my stepgrandmother) and he did run away from the orphanage and had plans to go back and get his sister (not sure if that ever happened). Since I am interested in tracing this family line, I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers in what direction to take here.
Is there a chance my Arthur is the same as the one who lived with his uncle? It would be easier to me if that was the case. This may never be solved, but I will try.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Booth Rogers, Greenville, SC
