Adelaide Frances Spears was born in the Lenoir neighborhood, six miles below Camden, S.C. Her father Charles Spears, who came over from England with a brother and settled near Walterboro, S.C. and later moved to the Lenoir neighborhood where Adelaide was born. As the only child of her parents, she was left an orphan at the age of eight years; and thereafter was cared for by Mr. Wm. E. Harvin, a kinsman. who was executor of her father's estate and her guardian. She grew up in this family in clarendon County and remained under their care until she married Capt. McFaddin. Her father, Charles Spears, was a man of some means at his death. He owned a farm, which represented about a fourth of what is now known as the city of Sumter. This property was later known as the "Dinkin Place" and was bounded on the North by Liberty Street and on the East by Main Street. Adelaide McFaddin was a fine character, quiet, unassuming, retiring, but firm and industrious. She was devoted to her children and by her training and example gave them the best that a mother's care could give. Her photograph is an excellent likeness of her in her old age. by: Abram Louis Blanding "Blanding-McFaddin 1553-1906"
My parents, James D. and Adwlaide McFaddin, were the best and dearest parents children ever had. Father was a man who commanded respect, a man of noble principles, honest and upright in all his dealings. Mother a gentle Christian woman. She reared her children in the greatest refinement, shielding them from all that was rough and unrefined. A loving, gentle mother has gone.-Anna J.Shaw 1840-1927
