John Carder (1767-1850)

John Carder was born about 1767 in Culpeper Co., Virginia and died in 1850 at the age of 83 years in Taylor Co., now West Virginia. His parents were probably John and Frances Carder of Culpeper Co., Va., although that has not been proven. He is probably the same John Carder who in 1783 was set up as an apprentice millwright with another John Carder. (for more information of the Culpeper County Carders of the 1700s. See the chapter on the early Carders of Culpeper Co., MS by W. A. Carder) John Carder was in the Revolutionary War at the age of 16 years. (Charles Brinkman's "History of Taylor County, Va." However no War record has been found that states he served in the war. {*no D.A.R. nor S.A.R. application applied for or approved that is known} John Carder married Mary (Day ?). (A. A. Carder).
In the year 1801 John Carder purchased 100 acres in Hampshire Co., Va. from George Carder (relationship if any not known). John is not known to have lived on this land, however, because he was still in Culpeper Co, when he sold this same tract of 100 acres in 1807. His first purchase of land in Harrison Co., now Taylor Co.,W. Virginia, was in 1802. This 700 acre tract of land lay north of Pruntytown (then Williamsport) and northwest* of Grafton 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." (*Tygart Valley River to the Monongahela River and then to Pittsburgh on the Forks of the Ohio River) "The money from such sales was used to purchase more land. The Indians respected John Carder and never molested him. On one occasion, two Indian fur traders came up Lost Run from Tygart River into Carder Run, and old John invited then up unto the hill and had breakfast with them." The 1810 census of Harrison County list 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 Carder. (* the latter age is probably the correct age. The earlier censuses were very often wrongly checked in these age columns) John Carder is buried in Lost Run on the old Carder homeplace.

John Carder 1767-1850

Carder Family Tradition

and

Comments by Cecil E. Tharp

John Carder, a native of Virginia, is our earliest known Carder ancestor. His birth place and date of birth is not documented by early family records. We learn that his birth place was Virginia from the 1850 Census of Taylor Co., Virginia and that John was 83 years of age when the census was taken. His death is recorded in the Charles Brinkman paper collection (A&M 1086 Vol. # 36 "Men Who Fought in the Fight for Liberty"): "John Carder is buried at the Carder Cemetery at the age of 83 years." From this we conclude he was born in 1767 and died about 1850-1 before his next birthday. Further it is evident that John was a boy at the time of the Revolution and would have been but 16 years of age at the conclusion of that War. This is highly possible as hundreds of boys and very young men were involved in that fight for Liberty as stated by Brinkman. The National Archives has not been forth coming in supporting Brinkman's statements regarding our John Carder.
The Carder Cemetery was said to lay a few rods behind and west of the old homestead near the peak of a great hill (mountain). On November 12, 1961 Feller Larosa found the cemetery in total disorder with several stones missing. It is thought that Mr. Larosa removed John's stone, perhaps he could not read the dates as he reported none.
I was there in 1969, what I found was an abandoned homesite consisting of a small hewn log cabin made of larger logs than one usually associates with such cabins. It was decaying into the ground and near it a rectangular two story frame house with a covered front porch facing south down the mountain. The house perhaps was beyond repair. The log stucture may have been the first home at this site for John Carder and his family, perhaps built soon after his purchase of the land in 1802. The two story frame would have been built many years later, yet before 1850. The site is located on the southern slope near the summit of a mountain about three and one half miles northwest of the present day city of Grafton, W. Virginia.
The wagon road that once ran up the mountain on the southern approach no longer would suggest that it once led to a farmstead. In 1969 it was reduced to a cow path about a half a mile in lenght up the steep incline ending in a tangle of weeds and branbles. Having been warned of Copperhead snakes I pressed through the maze of growth until the dwelling came in sight. Looking back to where I had just passed, evidence suggested that other farm buildings had once stood where the cow path ended. Over all it appeared several acres had been cleared just below the mountain top and here had been the John Carder home for nearly half a century and the home of his son (Isaac and family) for several years long before and during the Civil War. Now 1995, we have to believe John Carder had a dream at the age of 33 or so that he would own in his life time a large and prosperous plantation. This was a common dream of pioneer settlers at the time when lands to the west of the old colonial settlemrnts were opened up for settlement by the new government of the United States. It was only a dream. Those taking up land in the mountains east of the old colonies was a loosing struggle with nature. In the beginning John Carder hunted, trapped, and traded with Indians for more furs. He is said to have bought more and more land with money from these activities, perhaps owning as much as 4000 acres. Years later each of his children was given a large tract of land when they became adults and married.
The family turned to farming as the principle source of income with the old image of plantation in mind. He became the owner of slaves and cleared land for cultivation. A few acres around the homesite is the only land not subject to extensive erosion. In this century, at the base of his mountain a small valley produces hay and grazing for a few cows that also graze on the wooded mountain slopes. Carder Run (a mountain stream) lays in a narrow cut providing only small sites which could be cultivated. I have veiwed such mountain homes and my own conclusion is that such farming is extremly difficult and may be discribed as patch farming, being the very best one can state. Grazing live stock is a more likely means of utilizing or justifing the ownership of a large land holdings in these mountainous regions. The dreams of wealth faded for most as the soil wore out and washed away.
I do not conclude that John Carder ever considered himself a failure. I imagine him on a clear day viewing the vast panorama from his mountain top, he could see the homes and lands of his sons and daughters, land he had owned and now belonged to his children. William lived north down on Carder Run, Ealon was southeast down near where Carder Run entered Lost Run. Looking east across Carder Run and the Tygart Valley River to the summit of a ridge above the town of Fetterman lived his son, Joseph, with a large family. His rewards for his long and full life were every where visible.
So little is known of John's wife Mary. They had seven children that have been identified. Perhaps she died when the children were young. It is told that a special negro mammy cared for them and may have nursed the youngest child. Life on the mountain surely was one of isolation and hardship for the mother. Several years ago I wrote in an album which contain photographs taken at the time of my visit to the Carder homes in 1969. "the log structure lay east of the frame house", "there was an orchard, berry bushes, strawberry vines etc. Water was taken from a spring", "most of his land was deeded to his children yet it is said he gave some to slaves he freed while he still lived."

Children of John and Mary Carder:

1. Isaac Carder:

Born in Culpeper County, Virginia, about 1790, moved with his parents to a remote mountain range in the northwest corner of the Old Domain, present day Taylor County, W. Virginia. The new homesite chosen in 1802 was near the summit of a mountain northwest of the present city of Gafton, W. Virginia. Here Isaac lived the remained of his life, dying at the age of 75 years of age, having live to see the birth of the state of West Virginia and the end of the war between the states. His last years of life had felt the torched anxiety of war, fearing for Carders in the Northern Army as well as those conscripted into the southern cause. His death occurred on November 27, 1865 and he was buried near his home in the Carder Burial Ground. (His first wife is not identified but it is said they had 11 children. He second married on March 8, 1840 Tabitha Bennett by whom one child was born.) Conflicting reports have his first marriage on March 8, 1814 to Tabitha Bennett (b.1793-d.1860) additional investigation is needed. In the1850 census Isaac Carder's family is listed (farmer), born Va. age 60 yrs., Tabitha age 57 yrs. and children in the home are Emily age 24 yrs., Isaac age 19 yrs., Martha age 16 yrs., and Susan age 15 yrs. listed elsewhere but possibly other sons are Joseph age 29 yrs. and Oliver age 30 yrs.. It is probable Isaac had but one wife "Tabitha Bennett" married 1814, and at least five children by her not identified. (?)

2. Joseph Carder:

Born in Virginia about the year 1791. At about the age of 9 years he came with his parents to the mountain top northwest of present day Grafton, Taylor County, West Virgina where he grew to man hood. The nearest settlement at the time was south about two and one quarter miles at Williamsport, later called Pruntytown. Grafton about three and one half miles to the southeast was establish much later and became a major railroad center. Today joining Grafton down stream is the town of Fetterman, both laying in a curve of the river on the north and east bank of the Tygart Valley River, further north above town Joseph Carder settled on the top of a ridge about one quarter mile beyond the town limits. The rise to his home is very steep. At Joseph's homesite in 1969 the home still remained, but it was unoccupied and in poor condition but it appeared possible to be made a livable residence again. Vines had grown on a portion of the house and weeds were plentiful but many signs remained that a farmstead once thrived here. The living area of this home was small, especially for Joseph's large family. It would further appear there was not much land that could be farmed as we would think of farming in Indiana. Again there may have been grazing for live stock. Joseph died in 1871. He married Rebecca Wiseman , daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Anderson Wiseman, on February 18, 1817 in Harrison Co., Virginia. (Marriage Book # 2. page # 58). Her father was of Welsh ancestry. George Wiseman, a brother to Rebecca, lived about one quarter of a mile east of Carder Run on what today is a rural road in the direction of Fetterman. There is a cemetery on the property which I did not find in 1969. On this same route to Fetterman are old Keener lands, and the George Keener home, (George married Ealon Carder) all being west of Fetterman and the Tygart Valley River. An old Cemetery (Keener Cemetery) in poor condition has many many graves of Keeners laying west of the river and Fetterman on very high ground. (John Anderson Carder also became connected with the Keeners in his marriage to Mary Jane Rinker and the move to Indiana in 1858-9). Rebecca Wiseman Carder died in 1861. Although a Joseph Carder Family cemetery is reported, graves have not been found. Quots from the 1969 photo album: " It is said, Joseph Carder had a few slaves, and he like his father, gave them land to live on when they were freed. When the Civil War started he had but two slaves." "Joseph Carder Cemetery northwest of his home some little distances (not found)." Joseph had sons that were conscripted by the south and one son that came to Indiana and enlisted in the Union Army (Lt. Joseph Plumer Carder)", "One old negro mammy that had helped raise the Carder children had a cabin of her own which had a front porch. It is said she rocked by the hour worrying about the boys in the war." She too nursed some of Carder babies." "There is a spring at the southeast corner of the house from which they carried their water." "the rooms in the home are small, there are two fireplaces." "an old orchard and berry bushes are west of the house" The pictures show a house surrounded by natures advance.

3. Thomas Carder, 4. Mahalia Carder, 5. Lucinda Carder, 6. Ealon Carder, married George Keener. 7. William Carder,

so little details of these children of John and Mary Carder that little can be reported. William did live north of his father on the north slope of the mountain. near a rural road running east and west. This slope continues on to the river laying less than one half mile north.

Wiseman Record

notes of Alwyn Ardith Carder:
Coming from Pennsylvania shortly after the Revolution , one Thomas Wiseman settled near Pruntytown, a place in Harrison Co., Virginia, now Taylor Co., W. Virginia not far from Grafton. His parents lived about 22 miles from Philadelphia, Pa. and are said to have been Quakers and of Welsh descent or from Wales.
Thomas Wiseman, of Lost Run, married Elizabeth Anderson, a native of Ireland. They were the parent of the following children: John, Hannah, Thomas, Sarah, Rebecca, Benjamin, Jonathan, Isaac, Samuel, Lemuel, and Joseph (twins), and George. All are said to have moved to Marion Co., Missouri except the last three. Lemuel went to Wisconsin and Joseph and George remained in W. Virginia.
Rebecca Wiseman was born ca 1796 and died in 1861. She married Joseph Carder February 18, 1817 (see Joseph Carder family sheet).
Thomas Wiseman was born February 16, 1793 and married Nancy Cross January 6, 1817. They had two known children: Henson and Harrison. Thomas Wiseman died September 1849. (Wiseman Genealogy and Bio. p. 121)
George Wiseman was born 1803 in Harrison county, Virginia (Taylor Co., W. Va.) and died November 18, 1877 same county. He married Ealon Carder daughter of John and Mary Carder and sister of Joseph Carder of Lost Run. Ealon was born 1803 and died March 7, 1882 of cancer. George and Ealon are buried at the Wiseman Cemetery, which is located at Falls Hills Road, Lost Run, near Pruntytown, West Virginia. (md. 1824).

John Anderson Carder, of Richland Township, Jay County, Indiana was born near Grafton in Taylor County, West Virginia, November 19, 1833. His birth night was a memorable one from the fact that every star in the heavens seemed to leave their place and join in the grand meteoric display which filled the skies with a beautiful, grand and awe-inspiring panorama which has not been equaled since. Joseph and Becky (Wiseman) Carder, his parents, were born in the same vicinity and there grew up, married, reared their family and passed to their reward, the father at the age of 80, and the mother when 65 years of age. The boyhood of our subject was passed on his father's farm where he remained until his marriage, December 18, 1858, to Miss Mary Jane Rinker. She was also a native of near Grafton, and was eighteen years of age at the time of her union with our subject. The fall following their union, in 1859, the young couple, in company with her parents, started for Jay County, Indiana, where the parents, Alfred and Hannah (Keener) Rinker, had relatives living. The journey consumed sixteen days and was slow and tedious, as was all travel during those days. Mr. Rinker began farming in the new country and continued there until his death, at the age of sixty two years. His wife survived him and still lives in the old home, which is situated near the brick school house in south Redkey.
About one year after reaching this county Mr. Carder located on a tract of eighty acres which still forms part of his homestead. When he purchased the property there had been some attempt at improvement, about ten acres of ground having been partially cleared and a log cabin erected in the clearing. This continued to be the family home until about fourteen years ago, when the present residence was built, a commodious ten-room structure with thirteen inch walls and cross walls put up with a view to durability and warmth. The brick for the building was burned on the farm and none but the best material was used in its construction. Mr. Carder practiced economy and diligence and added to his original purchase from time to time until he had accumulated three hundred and seventy acres of land, all but one hundred and sixty of which he has given to his children as they started homes of their own. He partially improved the other farms, but the home place he has all well tiled, supplied with running water, and every way made it a desirable place in which to end his days. It is beautifully situated and surrounded by wide stretches of fertile farm lands, giving one a feeling of security and plenty. Mr. Carder does general farming and feeds a great deal of live stock on his place, keeping only high grade stock of all kinds; however, hogs are his main dependence and he raises from fifty to one hundred every year. He has not always been fortunate in his hog raising as he has lost as high as ninety six head in one year but this has in no wise discouraged him in the business and he still continues to lead the county in fine hogs.
The marriage of Mr. Carder and Mrs. Carder has been blessed with a large family of children who have grown to maturity and are a credit, not only to their parents, but to the neighborhood in which they have chosen to reside. They are as follows: Margaret Rebecca, wife of James Scott, who lives on the old homestead (Rinker). Hannah Estella, wife of Henry Current. Cornelious Plumer, who resides near the pump station. John Abraham, a farmer in this vicinity. Phoebe Josenia, wife of James Ritter, who lives on an adjoining farm. Jesse Oliver, who is a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was educated at Marion, and then attended Upland University, was ordained to the ministry and given a church in Missouri for the first year and one-half, when he was sent to Beret, this state, and was returned to Missouri to take charge of a circuit there near where he first was. He is a young man of ability whose eloquence and oratory hold the attention of the largest audience and whose application to his chosen work will place him among the most influential and foremost men in the Methodist ministry. He is only in his twenty-eighth year and gives promise of a useful and brilliant future. He is married. Fremont Palmer resides at home and his father's able assistant in overseeing the farm. Ethel is the wife of George Grady and lives two miles north of Redkey. Jasper Forest is a student still at home, Penacie, Ellis and Joseph Alfred died in childhood. There are nine grandchildren, and as Mrs. Carder is the only child of Mrs. Rinker these are the only great-grand-children of Mrs. Rinker. Mr. Carder is a Democrat, has served as delegate to conventions, and has taken an active part in campaign work but has never been an aspirant for public office. He was made a Mason during the war in the old Half Way Lodge, when it was held in the school house, and has always continued his connection with that body, being one of the few remaining members who still survive. Mr. Carder is a genial, jovial gentleman whose open handed hospitality is enjoyed by a host of friends and whose recollections of the hunt (which he still delights to engage in) and the many incidents of pioneer life are described by him in a manner at once graphic and entertaining. His long life in Jay county has been one above reproach and he well merits the high esteem inwhich he is universally held.

At the time of his arrival here, this part of Indiana was almost a wilderness, but few homes had been started, and land was heavily timbered, the roads were Indian trails, and the fields were swamps, but with the brave heart of the sturdy pioneer, he engaged in his chosen occupation of farming and entered upon his work of building a home for himself and family, this he did well, and in his home he was a kind and effectionate husband, and an indulgent father, always looking after the welfare of those, who to him, were nearest and dearest.
Brother Carder was made a Master Mason in Half Way Lodge, No 298, Free and Accepted Masons, now located in Redkey, Indiana, on the 7th day of April, 1865, and continued his membership in this lodge until his death.
As a Mason, Brother Carder was always true to its teachings. He had faith and believed in God; he practiced the Golden Rule, he acted the square and practiced every commendable virtue.
In the Lodge he was always at his place of duty, and no member was held in higher esteem than he.
As a citizen, Brother Carder was a man in the fullest sense. He was moral and upright before God, progressive, charitable and a willing helper to those in need, honest in his dealings, kind and accommodating neighbor and a true friend.
John Anderson Carder is buried south of Redkey, Jay Co., Indiana in Hill Crest Cemetery.
