This is not my family but I have been researching this Widner surname for awhile and might have some information. Maybe you already have this but I will put it here in any case.
I find Samuel E age 12 in the 1900 Census of Claiborne Co, Tenn. He is living with his parents: George W Widner and Cintha Widner
Also listed are a brother Charles B [9], a sisters Mary E.O. [7] and Masey [5]
It is possible that two brothers of George W Widener are located nearby...
1)David M Widner [28] with wife and children: Martha A [24]. Lucy R [4] and William H [2 mo]
2)John B Widner and Wife Rachel E. Her last name I specul;ate as Meyers since a sister named Violie is living with them.
I'm not sure of the relationships but nearby, still in Claiborne Co, I find what appears to be a Melvina Widner [21] and children Martha E Widner [4] and Thomas W Widner living with her father and the childrens Grandfather Isom Meyers.
Three other Widener families are found in Claiborne Co during this 1900 census and probably are related:
Fielding B Widner [27] and wife Sarah J [21]
and
William R Widner [30] and wife Phoebe C [30]
and children: Minnie M [8], David A [6], Elijah W [5] and Casandra [2]
The last family I "think" might be George W's
parents.
Henry Widner [58 VA] and wife Catherine [50 NC]and two sons still at home: James W [15] and Timothy W [13]
If this is a correct assumption, you will find in the 1870 Census of Claiborne co, Henry [25] and wife Phebe [20 NC] with sons George W [3 TN] and William [10 mo TN] AND
probably a brother to Henry...Andrew Widner [28 VA] and wife Martha A [22 TN] with their children Nancy A [2 TN] and John W [3 mo TN]
Close by is probably Henry and Andrews parents...David Widner [52 Va] and wife Nancy [50 VA] with son Peter [20 VA]
Well...please let me know if any of this is familiar or if you have any questions.
Please, if you will, share what you have so that if I run accross any more info I can make the connections easier.
Regards
Lee Widner
