Looking for parents of Winnie (Edwina) Hendrick/Hendricks/Hendrix
Hello. I am looking for the parents of my great-great-grandmother, Winnie Hendrick (could have been Edwina).The last name was also spelled Hendricks or Hendrix in family records. She was born April 13, 1876, in MO (probably Lafayette or Ray counties) and died April 6, 1946, in Wellington, Lafayette County, MO. On March 31, 1896, in Ray County, MO, she married Samual Francis Hufford. He was born July 11, 1871, in Lafayette County, MO, and died May 2, 1941, in Wellington. They had a total of ten children: Henry William, Carrie M., Alfred, Elva Cassie (my great-grandmother), Velma, John Morton, Leona, Otto, Robert, and Omer.
If is believed Winnie's father ran away from home about the age of 16 and ended up in Missouri where he married and settled down. According to Velma Hufford-Karow (daughter of Winnie), her brother Henry William Hufford was named for his grandfather's. Since Samual Hufford's father was named William, it is possible Winnie's father was a Henry. The surname could have also been spelled Hendricks or Hendrix at one time as both appear in family records.
In addition to Winnie, her parents also had five other daughters: Louisa, Sarah, Becky, Kate, and "Sis". These names were given by Winnie's daughter, Velma, and she only remembered what her aunts were called within the family. She also stated Louisa married a Danner, Becky married a Mansell, Kate was married twice (to a Burglin and a Suitor), and "Sis" married a King.
This is the only information I have available on this part of my family. If anyone recognizes these names or has more information, please e-mail me directly or post a reply message.
