Winford Carney |
116. Winford (Winifred) Carney (Married: William Love (#115) in 1791 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Reverend James Ireland conducted the ceremony. According to a letter written by William Bonifield, who witnessed the wedding, "the ceremony was said on the bank of the Shenandoah River being high or swollen, the said Ireland came over in a canoe from the opposite side of the river." [Source of green information is from Claudine Harding in numerous e-mails February and March 2009 to Susan L. Snyder. [Note: Claudine Harding is the GGGG Granddaughter of Rebecca Love (Eleanor Winnie Love's (#58) sister) and GGGGG Granddaughter of William Love (#115) and Winford Carney (#116)] .
Born: ? in Upshur, Virginia of unknown father (#231) and unknown mother (#232).
Died: 27 December 1847 in Upshur, Virginia, at the residence of her daughter, Rebecca. Her coffin was made by John Maxwell.
[Her siblings, if any are unknown.]
Miscellaneous:
William and Winifred had 6, possibly 9 children: Samuel, Charles, Rebecca, Eleanor (#58), William, Robert, John, Fanny, and Elizabeth. [Note: John, Fanny, and Elizabeth were born after their father was committed to Williamsburg Insane Assylum on December 28, 1803, and that is what causes confusion.] [Note that in 1851, son Robert refers to having only 5 siblings (Samuel, Charles, Rebecca, Eleanor, and William) in his letter to claim pension funds from his father's service in the Revolutionary War. In 1855, John Love wrote a letter asking for the pension funds. Is this John a grandson of William Love or a son of William Love or what is his connection to the family??

According to Claudine Harding, "The last 3 could be children Winford took care of for someone else - but not sure if that would make sense since she had her own 6 children to care for, unless of course she was getting paid to take care of them, but if that was the case - why would she refer to them as her daughters on their marriage bonds and not their guardians? Although Robert stated his mother moved to Harrison Co. after his father's death - Winford is shown in Harrison Co. in the 1810 census."
[Note: It is likely that after William's death, Winifred moved in with one of her children. As stated by Robert, she moved to Harrison County after his father died. Also, as stated earlier, she died at the residence of her daughter Rebecca. But in checking the 1840 census (7 years before her death) for Rebecca and her husband, Edward Jackson, there was no female over 39 living at the residence. It is a guess of this webmaster that she may have been living in 1840 with daughter(?) Elizabeth Love and her husband Anthony Rohrbough. In 1840, they are listed as living in Lewis County and with the rest of the family is a woman listed as 60 to 69. This may have been Winifred. Lewis County was created from Harrison County in 1816, three years after William died at the hospital. Lewis County, Virginia became Lewis County, West Virginia in 1861.]
