1. Abraham Bair Redden
(Clarkson Redden & Nancy Emiline
Furrow)
( William Redden Jr. &
Sarah Ward)
Abraham Bair Redden was born
on the 26th of July 1871, in a small log cabin at Glade, Raleigh Co. West Virginia.
He was the Son of Clarkson Redden and Nancy Emiline Furrow, the
grandson of William Redden Jr.
He married
Susanna Edith Smith on the 2nd
of May 1893.
Susie, as
she was
known, was born on
the 22nd of July 1872 in
the same cabin as Abraham.
His family moved out
and her
family moved in. It wasn’t until after they were married that they found out
that not only were they both born in the same log cabin,
but also that they were related through the Kaylor line.
Susie’s mother was Elizabe (Betty)
Kaylor a direct descendant of Michael Kaylor, the brother of Fanny Kaylor.
NOTE: In the marriage license below, Abraham's middle name is listed as "Blandin". To my knowledge as his grandson who lived with him as a child and as a young adult, I have never seen another document that referred to his middle name as Blandin. Nor have I in all the years that I knew him, ever recall anyone referring to his middle name as anything but "Bair".
The children in the family photograph in the front row, from left to right is Nannie Page, Dexte Cornelious, Eula Letishia, in the back row, is George Howard, and Nettie Gertrude Redden.
Their Children Were:
1. Nettie Gertrude Redden | 2. Eula Letishia Redden |
3. George Howard Redden | 4. Dexter Cornelious Redden |
5. Nannie Page Redden | 6. Mason David Redden |
7. Wayland Hoyt Redden |
Two of Abraham and
Susies children died as infants. Three of there children were born
at Glade
West Virginia, one at Crow, West Virginia, and three more in their home in Beckley, West Virginia. Their home located at 822 S. Kanawha St. in
Beckley, was built in 1901-1902.
They
moved in around April of 1902. The house still stands today but is not owned by
the Redden family. As a young man in his late teens, A. B. Redden was a schoolteacher in Logan County.
He
stayed at the school during the week and would travel home on the weekends. The
path he took lead him past the home of Devil Anse Hatfield, of the legendary
Hatfields and McCoys, where he would stay the night and finish his journey home
the next day. While spending one evening in the Hatfield home he was sitting on
a small bed in the corner of the room close to the door, when all of a sudden
the door burst open and one of the Hatfield boys staggered in shouting and
demanding that one of the other men of the house give him whisky.
After a few minutes the temper of the
drunken man turned violent and he pulled a gun on the other man. Abraham said
that he was sure that some one was going to get shot, so he grabbed a child that
he thought might be in the line of fire and scooted back on the bed into the
corner as far out of the way as possible. Just then, one of the Hatfield women
who had been cooking in the kitchen, stepped around the corner, reached under
her apron and drew out a revolver, pointed it at the drunken brother and said,
“ You know we are cut out of the same cloth. You shoot him and I’ll drop you
where you stand, and you know I will.” The drunken man left without his
whisky.
My
Grandfather
said he didn’t sleep very well that night. He spoke of watching Devil Anse
Hatfield as he sat in his rocking chair in front of the fireplace, with the room
being lit only by the
firelight, Abe being aware of the stories of
the feuding in the area, said he could envisioned blood dripping from the hands
of old man Hatfield.
Granddad in speaking of his school teaching
days said that when he ran onto a mathematical problem that he could not solve,
he would think about it just before going to bed for the night and he would
dream about it and always have the answer in the morning.
He
was a pollution, who ran for the office of Raleigh County Sheriff. Although He
conceded to his appointee and was not elected. It was said of him that he was an honest politician.
In 1902 he was elected councilman in Beckley West Virginia.. Abraham Redden later worked
for, and retired from, the Raleigh Co. Assessors Office as the Deputy Assessor.
He died on the 19th of February 1962 in
Charlston, West Virginia after falling and breaking his hip on an icy
sidewalk while walking to town at the age of 91. Abraham
and Susie are buried in the
Redden family cemetery,
at Crow,
Raleigh
County, West Virginia.
