THE TINSLEY FAMILY
Sometime in the late 1830's Obediah Tinsley came to Kanawha Co. W(Va). Kanawha County was then a part of the State of Virginia till 1863. West Virginia was formed June 20, 1863.
Census records says he was born in VA. as his two brothers Madison and Martin, who came also to Kanawha. Madison and Obediah show in the 1850 Kanawha County Census and Martin in 1860.
Obediah was born March 17, 1814 and died June 28, 1883 in Kanawha County WV. He was married twice in Kanawha County, first to Elizabeth PATTERSON=1/6/1841, believe her father was William, and #2 to Susan FIGGATT 9/1/1846 her parents Henry and Susan ( ? )
Obediah and Elizabeth had two known children, John b‑1844 and Elizabeth 1846‑1916, Elizabeth never married, and I have no further record of John, he may have died young.
Elizabeth the mother, may have died in child birth to daughter Elizabeth, because Obediah married again five months later to Susan. (m.9/1/1846)
Susan FIGGATT Tinsley was born Feb. 10, 1826 and died 1/5/1909. Obediah and Susan had nine children:
1. Henry M. 1848‑1908 m‑Sarah Catherine CARBINE and #2 to Blanch Millard.
2. Susan Permelia 1850‑1916 never married.
3. Obediah William 1852‑ after 1920‑‑ m‑ Sallie E. GILLISPIE.
4. Edmond B. 1855 ‑ abt 1881 m‑ Martha E. CARY. (m.12/3/1878)
5. Eli H. 1857‑ 1933 (m.Caroline Morris--4/9/1874) (m.Eliza Kaufmann--7/9/1884)
6. James Andrew 1859‑1944 m‑ Maggie R. CONEY.
7. Jefferson Monroe 1862‑ 1/26/1926 m‑Mary E. BOWEN
8. Levi C. 1863‑1946 m‑Martha A. BURFORD ( m.9/6/1883)
9. George P. 1866‑ after 1920‑‑ m‑ Martha E. YOUNG
