The following outlines are an attempt to consolidate the information--most of which is transcribed after the outline--I inherited from Uncle James Basset Gwin.  Some of it--certainly the earliest generations--comes from  Ms. Nancy Perryman Waters (see this source below) and my late second cousin Jack Vardaman; other comes from other of my cousins.  Bits and pieces have been gleaned from undocumented sources.


DISCLAIMER:
PLEASE READ ALL IN THIS YELLOW BOX
BEFORE PROCEEDING DEEPER INTO THE PAGE.

Cousins and other relatives and readers, some of whom may be my brothers and sisters in Christ--friends all:

           Please know that for a very long time this page, my Vining page, has lain dormant and served as an offline clearinghouse for various Vining-related items I have found and/or been sent.  Parts of it are more organized and documented than others.  Much of it may be confusing to you and not seem to fit into your line or tree.  Some of it probably may be just flat wrong. 
          So though I am returning it to online status today to make what information I have available to the family, under no circumstances should anyone take ANY of this information as true and correct.  As with any genealogical research, consider this page as hearsay only until you
DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!

Research and document anything you find of interest before taking anything from the page.

          Further, with my thanks in advance, I do request your assistance with fixing anything you find that may be confusing, unclear, incorrect, incomplete, repetitive, out of order, misspelled, offensive, etc.  Please be sure to include the URL (address) to this page with any communication, as I have hundreds of such pages online and may need all the help I can get in finding the right one.

        Also, please be on the lookout for the names of any persons who are still living.  My intent for those persons is to list them by name only and with the label "[PRIVATE]".  Should you find any names of living persons with other vital data listed, PLEASE CONTACT ME--thanks.
         Finally, if  you find anything that applies to you or your immediate living family that you do not want posted online, please let me know, and I'll remove it.  Thanks again!

Return to my Genealogy Home Page

The reformatting of the name font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Apr 2

Before I proceed with this genealogy, let me say what my purpose is. 
It is to learn from our ancestors the truths of God's Holy Word and to teach them to our children,
so that they may do the same to the next generations for His glory.  He tells us this in Psalm 78:1-8, as follows:

78 Listen, my people, to my [b]instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will tell riddles of old,
3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
4 We will not conceal them from their children, But we will tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His power and His wondrous works that He has done.

5 For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers that they were to teach them to their children,
6 So that the generation to come would know, the children yet to be born, that they would arise and tell them to their children,
7 So that they would put their confidence in God and not forget the works of God, but comply with His commandments
8 And not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not prepare its heart and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Suicide of Mr. John Vining
COFFEEVILLE, Miss.,  Aug. 13
[1888 newspaper clipping posted by C. Dean (cldean8@gmail.com), a Vining descendant, on John Sasser Vining's FindAGrave memorial.]
[Special]--News has just reached here that Mr. John Vining, a farmer who lived six miles east of here, committed suicide near Pittsboro about twenty-two miles from his home.  He had been in a state of mental aberration for some time, and he had been brought to Coffeeville and confined, that he might be placed in the state asylum, but was thought to be better and released.  He was visiiting his wife's father in Calhoun County and was in a room with several children, and, after telling them to go out and play, seized a shotgun, placed the muzzle over his heart and touched the trigger with the ramrod, when the gun was discharged, killing him instantly.
FAG BIO

She was born to Rayburn and Eva Barnes on Feb 25, 1917.  Then at age four her grandparents adopted her and changed part of her name.  Then later the state made her change her birth date to Feb 26, 1917.  They said she was born too close to midnight, and they put the wrong date on the birth certificate.  So her kids have laughed and said they couldn't prove who their mother was; her name and birth date have both been changed.

            You were born in December of 1980.  You were always sweet and happy, and you loved to swim.  You were always there when I came to visit.  I was devastated when you moved to Tennessee from California with your family.  You were taken from us at the tender age of 19, killed by a drunken driver.

Embrace Your Vining Heritage
 By Cynthia Vining Dean
Taken from her Facebook page Aug 2023
Our first Vining immigrant came from Wincanton, Somerset, England. Yes, we are from an immigrant family, so therefore we are all immigrants to this country. Many people that came to the colonies came as indentured servants. However, William Vining did not. He came to meet up with his elder brother John and make his way in this country.
 William came from a middle class family that owned The White Horse Inn. Our William left England some time in the 1670's and settled eventually in the colony of Massachusetts. His son William married a woman by the name of Ann Nichols.
When Ann was thrown out of their Presbyterian Church, William decided to move south to North Carolina. His son Jeptha became a dyed-in-the-wool, fire-and-brimstone pastor in the Baptist faith. He eventually went to Georgia to set up many new houses of worship.
Along the way he would buy up head rights to land that was near the rivers and then sell them at a profit. Jeptha would allow black slaves into his churches, which was not very common in the Southern churches at that time.
Both Jeptha and his son Thomas were Patriots. Jeptha gave money to the American army, and Thomas was paid by the army to be the Watcher of the Road.
Thomas' son was John Vining, born 1796. He was a state senator and represenative for the state of Alabama from Madison Co. throughout the 1820's and 1830's. He was a Presbyterian by faith.
When John's son John married Ann Carty, our descendants acquired the MTHFR*** mutated gene. Out of their eight children, seven inherited the mutated gene which accounts for the alcoholics and mental disorders as well as the eccentric people in the later generations.
John Sasser Vining, the son of John born 1825 fought for the North in the Civil War.
As our family went out into the wilderness, schools became less accessible. My own father only got a third grade education because he contracted TB. However, his brothers and he all went to Technical Schools and became airplane mechanics for the big planes, and my father learned how to install sprinkler systems in new buildings. They would periodically go for more training to enhance their trades and do better.
I am proud to be a daughter of a blue collar worker. It enabled me to get a college degree while my sister got her masters in English. We in turn have had our children get a higher education. Each generation should do better than the last. So we have a lot to be thankful for.
Our forebearers were good God-fearing people who took interest in their communities and supported the American Revolution and for the North in the Civil War. None of our family were slave owners, because we didn't profit from the slave trade. I believe our tolerance for people who are different than we are is our heritage, and I still carry on that tradition in my own life.

***What We Need to Know About the MTHFR MutationBy Jennifer Trimbee, RNUpdated: Feb 16, 2021

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase or MTHFR is a gene. Every person carries two copies of this gene, one from each parent. Gene mutations occur when there is a variant in a gene's DNA coding. There are many MTHFR mutations, but the two most common variants are C677T and A1298C. People diagnosed with an MTHFR variant have a mutation in either one or both copies of their MTHFR gene.

FAG BIO for JEHU
            DOB: "Abt. 1780"   Note: I do not know if 1780 is correct... or a transcription error. I've seen both 1780 and 1790 cited in various family trees. However, if his wife's DOB of 1780 is correct, I'm guessing 1780 is correct for him.
            No DOD is listed.
            Jehu was the son of Shadrack and Phereby (Ratcliff) Vining, and he married Sarah Williams 26 Jul 1810 in Morgan Co., Georgia.

ROGERS KILLS THRASHER...
            M. Thrasher, a share cropper on the farm of L. C. Rogers about six miles east of Ashland, was shot five tmes by a revolver in the hand of Rogers Tuesday morning and died immediately after the shooting.  Rogers came to Ashland and gave himself up to the sheriff and was placed in jail to await his preliminary hearing here tomorrow (Friday) morning.  It seems that Rogers and Thrasher had been having trouble all during the year, and the trouble was aggravated Tuesday over the gathering of the crop, culminating in the death of Thrasher.  It is a very sad affair.  Thrasher is survived by a wife and several children. Rogers also has a wife.
CARD OF THANKS...To Our Many Friends: 
            We wish to thank you for the kindness shown us at the death of our dear husband and father, also for the nice box we received from the Ashland friends.  We shall never forget the wonderful way you proved to be our friends in this sad hour of trouble.

    Some miscellaneous Vining notes from my late uncle, James Bassett Gwin II


    Rachel Vining m. Joseph Vardaman  lived in Harries Co., GA.
    Simeon Vining
    Reubin Vining
    Jefferson Vining
    Annie Vining m. Thomas Vardaman
    Benjamin Vardaman Vining
    Shadrach Vining
    Ruth Vining m. William Vardaman
    John Vining
    Jehu Vining, d. in Bibb Co., AL
    Samuel Vining
    Phereby Vining
    Zilpha Vining m. 1800 to Joseph Tomme, g.parents of Adolphus Vining Tomme who was gpa of Leon A. Nolen.

    A tradition in the family is that two of the Vining girls who married Vardaman boys were twins. These are believed to be Ruth and Rachel Vining who married William and Joseph Vardaman.

    A reference states that Joseph Vardaman and Rachel Vining lived in Harries Co., GA.

    There is a reference to a Peter Vardaman in 1779 in Henry Co., VA.

    There is a reference to a William Vardaman in Newberry District, SC, who was a Revolutionary soldier.

    There is a reference to AMML Vardaman, John Vardaman, Sr., and a John Vardaman, Jr., listed in 1780 in Lin (?) Co., VA;

    Jehu Vining had a son Peter Vining, a grandson Peter Vining--his wife's first name was Sarah.

    [John M. Gwin Note--27 Apr 2023: This James Basset Gwin II is my dad's oldest brother.  He seemed to be a very careful genealogist who documented his sources whenever possible.]

    "The following is taken from a letter written to my mother from a [cousin] Leon A. Nolen dated October 11, 1944 address 1609 12th St., B'ham, AL

    "He states that there were three Vardaman brothers who married three Vining sisters. This agrees with other records that we have.   However, the names of the Vardaman brothers differ from our records. He states that the brothers were named Thomas, Joseph, and William.

    "Our records show that they were Peter, James, and William. Thomas Vardaman who married Annie Vining was the son of James. However, our record does not show who the original three Vardaman brothers married, and it could be that they married the three sisters before Thomas their son married Annie. This letter states that the three sisters were named Annie, Rachal (sic), and Ruth; another sister to the above was Zilpha Vining who married Joseph Tomme around 1800 in Jefferson Co., GA, a second marriage in 1840 to Anthony Holloway in Troup County, GA. (note that a daughter of Edwy Vardaman, son of Thomas Vardaman, had a daughter named "Zylpha Thommie Hollaway Vardaman, evidently named for this Zilpha Vining)."


                 [John M. Gwin Note--8 Jun 2022: Let me quote here a page from Uncle James B. Gwin's notes, as some of it near the end may be useful to you--I don't know.
                 Here's what I have:]

                 ------------------------------------

                 Pages 31A and 32A: Vardaman Family History
                 Compiled by 27.01--James B. Gwin

    The following is a copy of a letter written to my mother [John M. Gwin Note--unk. date: Mrs. Adrian Belle Vardaman Gwin, my grandmother] by Leon A. Nolen of 1609 12th St., Birmingham, AL, on 29 Sep 1944.

    "Dear distant cousins:
                 "As you know, I have been interested in my family line in order to know whence they came and what contributions they made in the times in which they lived. We have the Vining line in common.
                 "About three or four years ago, I visited for a short while with Miss Annie Vardaman and her father, John T. Vardaman in Sylacauga, Alabama.  At that time I knew very little of the Vining Family; since, however, I have found records which show our relationship. At that time Mr. John T. Vardaman told me that Mr. John Forsythe Vardaman [JOHN GWIN Note: my great-grandfather], father of Mrs. [Adrian Belle Vardaman] Gwin and Mrs. [Maggie Mae Vardaman] Webb, along about 1870 or 1880 wrote down in a book--a buckskin or calfskin back, I remember he said--a history of the different family connections--the Vardamans and Vinings, etc.    Cousin Maggie [JOHN GWIN Note: the aforementioned Mrs. Webb] tells me that there was such a book her father had, but she is unable to locate it. If that book could be found, it certainly would throw a lot of light on things that may be now forever lost. I should like very much to see it in reference to the Vining family. If possible it would be found, we are beginning to think more of our lineage now than formerly."

    The following is taken from a letter written to my mother from a Leon A. Nolen dated October 11, 1944 address 1609 12th St., B'ham, AL

    LAN-10--He states that there were three Vardaman brothers who married three Vining sisters. This agrees with other records that we have.   However, the names of the Vardaman brothers differ from our records. He states that the brothers were named Thomas, Joseph, and William.

    LAN-11--Our records show that they were Peter, James, and William. Thomas Vardaman who married Annie Vining was the son of James. However, our record does not show who the original three Vardaman brothers married, and it could be that they married the three sisters before Thomas their son married Annie.

    Peter Lafayette Vardaman, b. 11 Feb. 1830; and

He states that Ruth Vining was old enough to join the Crooked Creek Church in Putnam Co., GA, indicating that Ruth was born early in the marriage. This letter states that Annie Vining Vardaman is buried in an unmarked grave near Sylacauga AL, in Mount Olive Cem. A brother of Annie Vining, Jehu Vining, who was born in 1790, is buried in the old Acker Cem. in Bibb Co. (it doesn't say if this is GA or AL.).

    S. M. HARRIS
                S. M. Harris, one of the oldest men in the community, died here the 13th of February and was buried at Camp Springs Church on the 14th. He was born in Atlanta, GA, in 1854, moved to Cleveland Co. in 1862, and spent his life near here. He was married 8 Dec 1875 to Mary V. Varnell and joined the Methodist church in 1878.  Many testify to the fact that he was a Christian gentleman and that he died in the Father.
                He left Mrs. Mary V. Harris--his widow, and the following children to mourn his loss: Mrs. Ara Reed of Rison; Mrs. Francis Golden; William, Carl, and Floyd Harris all of Kingsland; Alice Allen of Bleeker; and Robert Harris of Manning.
                Bro. Harris joined the Freewill Baptist Church in 1894. He was a kind father, loving husband, friend, neighbor, citizen; and a Christian.  May his friends and loved ones attain to a home in the mansion of God.
    "One by one our friends are called from earth by life, And they journey by our side no more.
    One by one they cross the solemn river, Going over on the other shore.
    One by one familiar tones grow silent, One by one dear forms are hid from sight,
    But as far, beyond the chilling shadows, Those we cherished dwell in Heaven's light.
    One by one sweet voices swell the anthem, Ringing thru the city built on high,
    One by one glad souls gain life eternal In that home where none shall ever die.     --CABE

            According to Clarence E. Ratcliff--John and Ann Farmer Ratcliff had a daughter named Sarah. In his earlier works, there was a question as to this Sarah being married to John Vining.   In Clarence's 1066-1988 book, John and Ann's daughter, Sarah, was born 29 Aug 1749, Johnston Co., NC. Disowned by Cane Creek MM 2 Feb 1799, for marrying out of unity. Mentioned in her father's will of 1790. Sarah died 16 May 1828, buried Greensboro, NC. No mention of whom she married.

    Comments from Delane E. V. Delk
    I have to share with you. Most of you that know my family knows we lost my younger brother Vincent way too soon, and when we did, it almost killed me. We were very close. Shared some deep secrets while he was spending his last few weeks on this earth. His personality was one that only he shared. The remaining sibling only wished we had that gift of walking into a room and within just a few minutes having the entire room laughing. He was the only one of seven that was gifted with always making you feel better not matter how bad it was.
    I loved my brother with my entire being. To tell you he was no saint was putting it mildly. I could sit here and say if only for eternity, but unless you walked a mile in our shoes, you couldn't possibly understand the torture that lived within your soul every day. But enough of that.
    We knew my brother has a son, Thomas Vining, Tommy to us. Tommy celebrated his very first birthday in our home in Fayetteville, NC. Due to many reasons, we lost contact with Tommy until about eight or nine years ago. We reconnected through My Space. I'm sure some of you remember My Space, and it was about four months before we lost my brother.
    Now due to Ancestry DNA we have learned Vincent left us another wonderful surprise: a beautiful daughter Sarah Marie Carey! Tommy flew from Alaska to Virginia Beach to meet his sister for the very first time today. They both look so much like their dad that my heart sings with joy. I am so happy for Tommy and Sarah, but I am extremely happy for our family also. I have sat here and looked at this photo and cried like a baby. I know my baby brother can't help but be happy knowing his babies are together. I wish I could be there to share these wonderful special moments with the two of you, but know you both are in my heart. Welcome Sarah!!!

    Hi, Debbie. I messaged you a few minutes ago through the Vining Discussion Group. You're in Alabama, and I'm in New Mexico, so you're two hours ahead of us, which means it's already tomorrow there. Oh well, you can read this when you get up, then.

    You sent

    Your Vining cousin, John Gwin, in Las Cruces, NM.

    You can now message and call each other and see info like Active Status and when you've read messages.

    I'll look on my page and see if I have your Rutherford Brown Vining yet. I don't remember his name, through.

    Cynthia Dean is my 2nd cousin

    You sent

    Nope. I just did a search on my Vining page and found no Rutherfords. I did find a couple of references to Rutherford County, Tennessee

    Debbie

    My grandfather was named after Rutherford County Tennessee

    Cynthia is my 7th cousin. So you and I must be related at some level--good to meet you, Cousin!

    Debbie

    Good to meet you Cousin

    Benjamin Vining was my grandfather's dad


    You sent

    OK. I think I have how you and I are related. First, I already have John Sasser Vining as generation 25.

    Next, Tim Dowling's tree has your Benjamin Carty Vining as a brother to Benjamin; therefore, Ben is also generation 25.

    Ben married Frances Scott, and they had 26--Rutherford Brown Vining.

    Rutherford, your grandfather, had one of your parents (gen. 27), who married your other parent and had you (gen. 28.

    I am also gen. 28.

    So you and I are cousins on the same level, and without researching it further, I'm pretty sure you and I are seventh cousins to each other.     🙂



    I just copied the following data from Tim Dowling's family tree at
    https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?lang=en&n=vining&oc=10&p=john

    I did so because it contains a reference to the grandfather of my new cousin I met tonight, Debbie Valerio. Her grandfather is Rutherford Brown Vining.
