John Carder was born about 1767 in Culpeper
Co, Virginia, and died about 1850 or shortly thereafter in Taylor Co, now
West Virginia. His parents were possibly John and Frances Carder or John
and Mary Carder of Culpeper Co, Va., although that cannot be proven. He is
possibly the same John Carder who in 1783 was set up as an apprentice
millwright with another John Carder. See the earlier chapter on the early
Carders of Culpeper Co. for more information on the Culpeper County
Carders of the 1700s. According to Charles Brinkman’s History of Taylor
County, John Carder was in the Revolutionary War at age 16. However, no
war record has been found that states that he served in the war. John
married a lady named Mary. Her maiden name has been thought to be Day or
Deal, but based on some family letters that were written in 1878-1880 and
have recently come into the hands of Carder researchers, her name was Mary
(Molly) Shingleton. It is interesting to note that in 1792, John Carder
lived in the same household as Johnathan Shinglton in Culpeper County, VA.
John Carder purchased 100 acres in Hampshire Co. from George Carder,
probably an uncle, cousin, or older brother in 1801. It does not appear
that John Carder ever moved to Hampshire, however, because in 1807 he was
still of Culpeper Co. when he sold this 100 acres. John Carder went to
Harrison Co., now Taylor County, West Virginia, where his first two land
purchases, 160 acres from D. Davisson and 242 acres from John Prunty was
recorded in 1802 in the area north of Pruntytown (then Williamsport) and
northeast of Grafton. By 1844 this part of Harrison Co. had been split off
to form Taylor Co. (along with parts also taken from Barbour, Marion, and
Preston Counties). According to Emeline Breakiron and Anna Carder Reed
(1870-1958), John Carder traded with the Indians, bought furs from them
and sold the furs down river, using the profits to buy land. The Indians
respected him and never molested him. On one occasion, two Indian fur
traders came up Lost Run from Tygart River into Carder Run, and old John
Carder invited them up unto the hill and had breakfast with them. Other
Carders from Culpeper County migrated to this same area of West Virginia
at about the same time as John Carder. According to a letter written by a
son of James Carder of Culpeper County, Va, James had a brother John who
moved to the Upshur County area. This could have been this John Carder.
The 1810 census of Harrison County lists John Carder in the “45 and over”
bracket, indicating a slightly earlier birth date than that shown by the
1850 census record. The 1850 census of Taylor County shows John Carder,
age 83, living in the household of his eldest son, Isaac. John Carder was
buried in the Carder family cemetery on his farm. The land was later sold
out of the family and the landowner gathered up all the tombstones and
piled them up in a pile away from the graves. The graveyard then became a
cow pasture. In the 1960s some of John Carder’s descendants gathered up
some of the stones and took them home with them. Among these were John
Carder’s and Isaac Carder’s stones.
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).
- 6 Ealon Carder (1806 - 18 August 1882),
married 15 July 1824 George Wiseman (5 August 1802 - 27 November
1877).
- 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

1826 - 19 March 1856), second, 18 November 1856, Sarah Ann Poling (1 May
184? - 28 November 1879).

1891?), married first, 18 September 1848, Alcinda E. Martin (1826? - 14
April 1865), second, 24 December 1865, Amanda Clelland (4 January 1838 -
24 April 1888).
- 10 Emily “Kitty Ann” Carder (1826 - 8
March 1866), married 26 November 1849, John Newbrough (1828 - 1879).

1889), married Samuel Tucker (14 January 1825 - 25 January 1879).
- 12 Isaac B. Carder (27 September 1831 - 1
April 1876), married 23 September 1853, Clemenza Jane Harr (1837 - after
1900). After Isaac’s death, Clemenza married a Smallwood, but is
listed as divorced in 1900.
- 13 Martha E. Carder (1834 - 20 February
1912), married 17 September 1857, Lemmon E. Tucker (1834 - 26 July
1897).
- 14 Susan “Sukie” M. Carder (7 December
1834 - ), married 30 March 1854, James Minor Harr (23 March 1833 - 10
October 1873).
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).
- 2 (Plummer Carder #9)
- 3 Elizabeth Carder, married John Rinker of
Knottsville.
- 4 Phebe E. Carder (l829-), married John
Boggs.
- 5 Jesse Wheat Carder (23 April 1830-),
married Laura A. Martin (April 1830 - 14 December 1891). They moved to
Richland Co., Illinois, before 1865. Laura is buried at Denver, Richland
Co., Illinois.
- 6 Josina Carder (l832-), married Thomas
Williams.
- 7 John Anderson Carder (19 November 1833 -
27 May 1908), married December 1858 in Taylor Co., WV to Mary Jane
Rinker (22 October 1842 - 31 July 1908). They are both buried at
Hillcrest Cemetery in Jay Co., Indiana.
- 8 Rebecca Carder (1835-), married Samuel
Rinker.
- 9 Joseph Plummer Carder (l837-1880), died
in Indian Wars in the state of Washington, according to Alwyn A. Carder.
The family received a braided hair watch chain and a locket with a
picture of a young woman.
- 10 Cornelius H. Carder (13 March l842 - 10
January 1914), married 14 December 1865 to Mary Ellen Peacock (4
September 1842 - 3 August 1915).
- 11 Clarinda Carder (l845-), probably died
young.
- 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?).

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.

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”.

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.
