Documentation:
"The Wideners in America" by H.H. Widener, Chili, N.Y.,
1904; Obituaries for Mary C. and Samuel from the Cambridge City Tribune;
I also have Mary's death certificate, Samuel's marriage record and death
certificate; Cemetery record for William Johnson from Woodland cemetery
records; I have Sarah Jane's death certificate. Other sources include:
Gary Krull of Columbus, Ohio (Sarah Jane); Jay C. Widener of Chili, N.Y.,
for the family as a whole; Federal census records; interviews with
descendants of Samuel. Abraham Widner is supposed to have emigrated from
New York to Ohio about 1817. He is supposed to have been married twice.
The mother of Samuel was born in Pennsylvania. Mary C.'s marriage may be
common law. I have never located a marriage record in Butler or any
surrounding counties. She later lived in Cincinnati and New Orleans but
remained in Cambridge City, Ind., from about 1864 on. Samuel was a
boatman on the Whitewater canal. Most of his biographical information
came from his military record in the Civil War. He later lived in
Indianapolis, Lafayette (Ind.) and Milwaukee.
