Re: Seeking information on Joshua Wideman's family
You will have to give us a bit more information about Joshua Wideman, since there are quite a few that were born at various times in South Carolina. Do you know approximate birth and/or death dates, the name of his spouse or his children, or if he lived in places other than SC?

He was born February 1911 and died in NY Feb 24, 1956. If you can find his parents name, dob and also siblings that would be great since he died so young

Re: Seeking information on Joshua Wideman's family
This is his WWII draft card, which confirms his birthplace in Troy, Greenwood Co, SC and gives his birth date
Based on the 1920 US Census I believe his parents were Isaac Wideman & Millie Wright. They lived in McCormick Co, SC, which is immediately next to Greenwood Co, where Joshua was born.
Isaac Wideman was born in SC sometime during the 1860's (year of birth varies in each census) & Millie was born about 1873. In the 1910 Census it states that they had been married 22 years and that Millie had given birth to 18 children, 8 of who were living at the time. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GTHR-9QB5?i=4&cc=1727033&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AM5DT-NH…
Isaac Wideman was the son of Robt Wideman (b. ~ 1835) and Sally (b. ~ 1838), In 1870 the family lived in Abbeville Co (again county was immediately next to McCormick and Greenwood Counties).
