Descendants of John Carder (1767-1850) of Culpeper County, VA and Taylor County, WV

J1 Family of John (1767-1850) and Mary “Molly” Shingleton Carder

• 1 Isaac Carder (18 December 1790 - 9 December 1865), married on 8 March 1814, in Harrison County, now Taylor County, to his cousin Tabitha Bennett (6 November 1793 - 5 March 1860), daughter of William and Patty Bennett of Eastern Virginia.  Martha "Patty" Bennett was the sister of John Carder (1767-1850)
• 2 Joseph Carder (1791- about 1861-63), married first on 18 July 1817 to Rebecca Wiseman (1796 - after 1850), daughter of John Wiseman. He married second, after 1850, to Mary “Polly” Rogers (20 September 1815 - 15 February 1910)
• 3 Thomas Carder (1793-1833), married 14 January 1813, Jemima Riley (1786-after 1860).
• 4 John Carder (179?-1826), married 20 December 1819, Fanny Hawkins (1800-).
• 5 Mahalia Carder (about 1797-before 1850), married 4 March 1814, Robert Johnston (May 1795 - 2 August 1882).

• 7 Lucinda Carder, married 31 May 1820 John Cross (Harrison Co. records).
• 8 Elizabeth Carder (1796-), married 24 December 1815 to Elijah Davis.
• 9 Probably another son, possibly William Carder who appears in the records living near John Carder in Taylor County. This child is probably the father of Cassie, Oliver, French, and Martha Carder. These children lived among the descendants of John Carder. Their mother was most likely Sally Carder (1799-1870s), who lived with Oliver and Martha Carder. According to some historians in the John Carder family, there was a son named William Carder who married a Reed.
  
  

Second Generation Descendants of John Carder (1767-1850)

J1-1 Isaac Carder (1790-1865)

Isaac Carder, the son of John and Mary Carder, was born 18 December 1790 in Culpeper County, Virginia, and died 9 December 1865. His estate was appraised at $5,317. He married 8 March 1814 to Tabitha Bennett who was born 1793 and died 5 March 1860, age 66 at Lost Run, Taylor County, W.Va. Tabitha Bennett Carder was the daughter of William and Patty Bennett of Eastern Virginia (Notes of Earl Carder of Kansas City, Mo.). Patty Carder Bennett was the sister of Isaac’s father.

Isaac Carder is recorded in the 1850 census of Taylor County as a farmer, age 60; with Tabatha, 57; Emily, 24; Isaac, 19; Martha, 16; Susan, 15; also John, age 83 (his father). He probably lived in the area north of Pruntytown and northwest of Grafton where his father settled in the early 1800s. Isaac Carder was a prominant man and owned much land. He was one of thirteen deacons who presided over the affairs of the Beulah Baptist Church when it was organized. The first Grand Jury to sit in Taylor County was sworn in on 22 May 1844 and Isaac Carder sat on that jury.

French Carder (1822-1888) had previously been thought by many Carder historians, including myself, to be a son of Isaac Carder, but after examining the facts it is obvious that French Carder belongs to another Carder family that lived near Isaac Carder. Isaac Carder’s will does not name French Carder, but does name his other children. The proof that there was another family is in the estate settlement of Oliver Carder. Oliver Carder of Taylor County died in 1906 and left no children. His estate was to be split among the heirs of his brothers and sisters. This settlement named French Carder’s children and the children of Cassie Carder Smith (1816-1864). Oliver had another sister, Martha Carder, known as Mattie or Patty, but she never married. So it appears that there was another family in Taylor County, possibly of an unknown brother of Isaac Carder. This family consisted of Cassie Carder (1816-1864), Oliver Carder (1819-1906), French Carder (1822-1888), and Martha Carder (1831-after 1880).

J1-1 Family of Isaac (1790-1865) and Tabitha Bennett Carder (1793-1860)

J1-2 Joseph Carder (1791-after 1860)

Joseph Carder was born in 1791 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He married first, 18 February 1816, Rebecca Wiseman, born 1796. He married second, Mary “Polly” Rogers, born 20 September 1815. Joseph Carder appears in the 1850 census of Taylor County as a farmer, age 59; with Rebecca, 54; Phebe, 21; Jose, 20; John, 16; Rebecca, 15; Joseph, 13 and Cornelius, 8.

In the 1860 census of Taylor County, Joseph Carder is recorded, age 67, with Mary, 44; Cornelius H., 17; Clarinda, 15; and Rebecca, 6. Thus it appears that Joseph’s first wife, Rebecca Wiseman, died between l850 and l860, and he married second, Mary. The child Rebecca, born l854 was presumably from another family as Joseph previously had a daughter named Rebecca, born in l835. Joseph and Rebecca Wiseman Carder had twelve known children, all born in Taylor County, West Virginia.

J1-2 Family of Joseph Carder (1791-after 1860) and Rebecca Wiseman Carder (1791-185?)

• 1 Isaac Carder (17 October 1819 - 9 October 1855) married Nancy Brooks (23 April 1823 - 4 October 1854).

• 12 Augusta Carder

J1-3 Thomas Carder (1793-1833)

Thomas Carder, the son of John and Mary Carder, was born about 1793, probably in Culpeper County, Virginia, and died in late 1833 or early 1834. He married 14 January 1813, Jemima Riley, born 1786. She was a sister of John, Jesse and Fielding Riley of Lost Run, Taylor County, then Harrison County. As researched by Mary D. Atkinson of Cairo, West Virginia, Thomas Carder was listed in the l830 census of Harrison County with eight children. He is listed on the personal property tax records of Harrison County from 1816 to 1833. In 1834 his widow Jemima is listed, so he apparently died between the tax man’s visits in 1833 and 1834. His widow, Jemima Carder, Age 69, is recorded in the 1850 census of Ritchie County, living with the family of her son George and near her son John, probably in the Nutters Farm-Goose Creek-Marietta Run area. She was also living with George’s family at the time of the 1860 census, her age recorded as 74. Jemima’s sons Fielding and Ephraim Carder settled in this same area as early as 1852 and apparently were in the Bull Creek-Borland Spring section. Fielding was previously of Harrison County at the time of the 1850 census. Living near George and John Carder at the time of the 1850 census were the families of William Everett and Andrew Shields. William Everett’s wife, Emily Riley, was a niece of Jemima (Riley) Carder, and Andrew Shield’s daughter-in-law, Aseneith Shields, was a grandniece of Jemima (Riley) Carder. Thus close family ties are found among the settlers of a small community such as this. Jemima was still living with her son George’s family at the time of the 1860 census, but her son John had by that time moved away.

J1-3 Family of Thomas Carder (1793-1833) and Jemima Riley Carder (1786-after 1860)

• 1 Cincinnatus Carder (1815-after 1880), married 4 February 1836, to Mary Golden Patterson (1817-)
• 2 Fielding David Carder (31 January 1818 - 26 February 1900); married Mary Ann Janes (1820 - 7 July 1887). They are both buried at Newland Cemetery, Wood Co., WV.
• 3 Ephraim Carder (18 December 1819 - ), married Nancy Jane Head (20 February 1829 -). Lived in White Co., Indiana, 1870; Cowley Co., Kansas, 1880. Both are buried at Arkansas City, Kansas.
• 4 John Carder (April 1821- after 1900) married in 1846 to Frances Powell (August 1825 -), born in West Virginia; lived at Kildare Township, Kay County, Oklahoma in 1900.
• 5 George Carder (1824-), married 12 April 1849 in Ritchie Co., to Catherine Powell (1828-).

J1-4 John Carder (179?-1826)

John Carder, the son of John and Mary (Day?) Carder, was born in 179?, probably in Culpeper County, Virginia, and died about 1826. He married 20 December 1819, Fanny Hawkins, born in 1800, the daughter of Walter and Mary (Yates) (Cross) Hawkins of Harrison County. Mary Yates was a daughter of William and Nancy (Gibson) Yates, and Walter Hawkins, born 1774 in Fauquier County, was a son of William and Elizabeth Hawkins; both families were of Fauquier County and came to what is now West Virginia about 1800 (Mary D. Atkinson). After John’s death, his widow Fanny married second, 18 January 1827, John Hammond. John Hammond appears in the 1850 census of Tyler County, West Virginia, a farmer, age 50; seven Hammond children, ages 5 months to 24 years; and Mary Carder, age 27. His birthplace is recorded as Pennsylvania; all the others, Virginia.

John Carder owned 100 acres on Lost Run in Taylor County when he died. His brother Isaac was the adminitrator of his estate. Isaac Carder eventually acquired John’s 100 acres in 1847.

J1-4 Family of John Carder (179?-1826) and Fanny Hawkins Carder (1800-after 1850)

• 1 Jesse H. Carder (1822 - 21 April 1888), married Sarah______ (1823-). He lived in the Volcano area of Ritchie County. Several of their children died of smallpox within a period of one month. Jesse lived in Wood County in 1850. It is said that he died in the west. He lived in Ritchie County in 1880.
• 2 Mary “Polly” Carder (1823 - ), living in 1850 with her mother and stepfather, John Hammond, in Tyler County. No further information is known on her. The 1850 census has a notation that she was idiotic.
• 3 Emily Carder (1824 - ). According to notes of Robert Carder of Madison, Conn., she may have married 29 January 1845 Thomas (?) Lally in Tyler County. However, according to History of Ritchie County (1911), pages 611-612, as noted by Minnie Kendall Lowther, Emily Carder died young, when she fell from a boat drowned in the Ohio River while attempting to dip a bucket of water.
• 4 John Carder (3 March 1825 - 16 May 1903), married 23 March 1848, Sarah Leeper. They lived in Tyler County and then moved to Ritchie County and settled on the head of Bear Run of Goose Creek. They lived in Ritchie County in 1880.

J1-5 Mahalia Carder Johnston (b before 1800, d before 1850)

Mahalia Carder, daughter of John and Mary (Day?) Carder, married 4 March 1814, Robert Johnston, son of Peter and Eleanor (Peters) Johnston. Robert Johnston was born May 1795 and died 2 August 1882. He is shown in the 1850 census of Taylor County (misspelled as “Johnson), age 55, farmer, with Lucy Ann, age 30; Isaac, 20; Hiram, 17; Peter, 14; Harriet, 10; John, 7; Mahala, 4; Lucinda, 2; and Granville, 2 months. Thus evidently Robert’s wife, Mahalia, had died prior to 1850. Ross Johnston, a descendant of Robert and Mahalia (Carder) Johnston, was the West Virginia State Historian prior to his death a few years ago. He compiled and edited West Virginians in the Revolution. The 1850 census record of Robert Johnston and his family does not include several others of his family who evidently had married and left the family household before 1850. Accordingly, further research in Taylor County records is needed to round out the story on this family

J1-6 Ealon Carder Wiseman (1806-1882)

Ealon Carder, daughter of John and Mary Carder, was born 1806 and died 18 August 1882. She married 16 February 1824, George Wiseman. This George Wiseman and Rebecca Wiseman, the wife of Joseph Carder, were brother and sister, children of John Wiseman of Lost Run, Taylor County. George Wiseman, age 46, appears in the 1850 census of Taylor County with Ealon (misspelled “Ellen”), 44; Marshall, 19; Calvin, 17; George, 15; Matilda, 13; Eli, 11; Isaac, 9; Richard, 9; Hannah, 6; and Ella, 4 (meant for Ealon or Ellen?).

J1-6 Family of Ealon Carder Wiseman (1806-1882) and George Wiseman (1804-after 1850)

• 1 Louisa A. Wiseman (1825-), married first 4 January 1844, Joseph Powell (1829-185?). Joseph Powell appears in the 1850 census of Marion County, West Virginia, age 31, with Louisa, 25; James W., 5; Samuel, 4; and George F., 1. Joseph Powell evidently died shortly after 1850, as Louisa A. Powell, age 50, widow, daugher of George and Ellen Wiseman, married 30 November 1871, Abraham D. Nuzum, age 61, widower, son of William and Martha Nuzum.

• 2 Marshall Wiseman (6 August 1831 - 1920). He married 23 November 1854, Martha (“Patty”) Mason (29 March 1834 - 1920), daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Mason.

• 3 Calvin Wiseman (1833 - 12 November 1921), married Julia A. Cooper (27 May 1840 - ).

• 4 George Wiseman, (1835 -), married a Miss Lambert.

• 5 Matilda Wiseman (1837 - ), married Wesley Mauler.

• 6 Eli Wiseman (1839 - ), married Lavina Cooper.

• 7 Isaac Wiseman, (1841 - 1922), married Kate Johnston, probably his first cousin, daughter of Robert and Mahalia (Carder) Johnston.

• 8 Richard Wiseman (1841 -), married Jenny Johnston.

• 9 Hannah Wiseman (1844 - ), married James Johnston (1840 - 1921).

• 10 Ealon Wiseman (1846 - ).

J1-9 Probable unknown son of John and Mary Carder

Living in the Lost Run area of Taylor County among the children and grandchildren of John and Mary Carder were several other Carders who cannot be placed in a known Carder family. One of these, French Carder (1822-1888), has always been placed in the family of Isaac Carder by genealogists, mainly because they thought that French Carder and Joseph Carder who came to Missouri in 1855 and 1856 were brothers. After reviewing the will of Isaac Carder (1790-1865) and the estate settlement of Oliver Carder (1819-1906), it is obvious that there is a separate family that has previously been unaccounted for. Isaac Carder listed all his living children in his will, but did not name any of these other children in his will. It is obvious that these other children are all brothers and sisters based on the estate settlement of Oliver Carder, who died childless. Oliver’s estate was split among the children of his brothers and sisters. Listed in the settlement as nephews and nieces were children of French Carder and Cassie Carder Smith. Martha (Mattie or Patty) Carder lived with Oliver and died unmarried and childless, therefore she is not mentioned in the estate settlement. She is listed as his sister on several census records. In the 1850, 1860, and 1870 census records of Taylor County, Sally Carder (born 1799) is always listed living with Oliver and Mattie Carder. She is most likely the mother of these four children, but the father is not known. Sally Carder is also listed as a head of household in Taylor County in 1840. It appears that her four children were split up among her household and the John Carder household in 1840. Sally Carder is not listed in the 1880 census, so she must have died some time between 1870 and 1880.

J1-9 Family of Sally Carder (1799-1870s) and a probable unknown son of John and Mary Carder

• 1 Cassandra “Cassie” Carder (4 April 1816 - 10 October 1864), married about 1835 probably in Taylor County, WV, to Elijah B. Smith (28 December 1817 - 23 August 1896). Elijah was a farmer and a shoemaker.

• 2 Oliver Carder (20 October 1818 - 28 October 1906), unmarried; lived and died in Taylor County, WV. He owned land in Taylor County, and his estate was split among the children of his brother French and his sister Cassie.

• 3 French Carder (4 December 1822 - 1 August 1888), born in Taylor County, WV; married 13 September 1842, Amanda Goodwin (13 July 1824 - 17 October 1890). He moved to Knox County, Missouri in 1855.

• 4 Martha Carder (1831-after1880), unmarried; lived with her brother Oliver Carder in Taylor County, WV. She was known as “Mattie” or “Patty”.

She died in 1856 and he then married Sarah Ann Poling, daughter of Barnett and Jennie Sturm Poling. He and his two wives are buried at Silent Grove Cemetery, near Philippi, Barbour County, WV.

An article in West Virginia History, vol. 12, p. 161, “The Beverly-Fairmont Pike, Then and Now 1850-1950", relates that soon after 1848, Noah Carder, a blacksmith, came from Taylor County to do smithing for the road construction. He bought a house on the pike about three miles southeast of Philippi, where he lived and had his shop for many years. The house was occupied by Carders for over a hundred years.

J1-9-3 French Carder (1822-1888) (previuosly J1-1-7)

French Carder was born in what is now Taylor County, WV. His parents are not known, but it is known that he had a brother Oliver Carder and sisters Casa and Mattie. He lived in the same area as the John and Mary Carder family and their descendants, so it is probable that he is a grandson of John and Mary Carder. He moved to Missouri about 1855 or 1856. He and Joseph Carder (J1-1-6), probably his first cousin, married sisters Amanda and Temperence Goodwin. French Carder and his wife were charter members of Harmony Grove Baptist Church in Taylor County, WV, at its organization in 1848. When they moved to Missouri, their church there was built by the same pattern as the Harmony Grove Church in West Virginia, and the church and cemetery there are by the same name. It is believed that French Carder and Joseph Carder came to Missouri by the same route. This story of the trip was told by a descendant of Joseph Carder:

“The family left Pruntytown, Taylor County, WV, about 1856, came down the Ohio River to the Mississippi, then north to Canton, Missouri, then west by land to Knox County and settled. The settlement was called Cardertown and was populated mostly by people by the name of Carder. It was called that until around 1945.”  Cardertown was located between Rutledge (Scotland County) and Colony (Knox County). 

Another account of French Carder was in the History of Lewis, Clark, Knox, and Scotland Counties, Missouri (1887):

“French Carder, an old and prominant citizen of Colony Township, Knox County, Missouri, was born in Taylor County, W. Va. where he lived until 1855 and then came to Knox County, Mo. where he has since made his home. He had previously visited Knox and Marion Counties in 1840, and can relate many interesting stories of that trip. While young he learned the stone mason’s trade, at which he worked a great deal in later life, and also worked in timber, making his start in life that way. When he came to Missouri he invested $4,000 judiciously, and at one time owned over 2,000 acres of some of the best land in the county, but he has given all but one half section, which he reserved for himself, to his children. In 1844, he married Amanda Goodwin, a native of Taylor County, W.Va. Their union was blessed with eight children - five sons and three daughters - of whom seven are living: John S., Susannah, Julie A., Luther J., Homer F., Calvin and Maggie. F.M., the eldest son, died in 1887. Our subject started life as a poor man, but by industry, good management and the assistance of a good wife, has been very successful in life. Mrs. Carder has always been a good and faithful woman and wife, and has helped her husband bear many trials and hardships, as well as share his joys. They have both been active members of the Missionary Baptist Church for over forty years, and Mr. Carder is a member of the A.F. & M. Colony Lodge, No. 168. In politics he has been a Democrat until lately, but believes in voting for the man and not the party. He is a strong prohibitionist and eagerly looks forward to the day when the cause of temperence shall be victorious, He is a public spirited man, and a hearty supporter of laudable public enterprises.”

French Carder’s wife Amanda was a daughter of Francis and Nancy Goodwin. Francis Goodwin was born in Ireland about 1760. Nancy was born in Virginia 10 May 1793 and died 2 August 1861. Nancy is buried in the Carder cemetery in Missouri.
