E.R. Corder, (not son)

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1830, Whitley Co, Kentucky
• Census: 1840, Blythe, Caldwell Co, Missouri

Notes:

Placed as child here only for speculation and study; however, several things make it seem feasible that he comes from this family, probably from John Jr. rather than John III. However, he is not mentioned in John, Jr.\'s will.

New note: Laura Henderson wrote to say that she believes E. R. Corder of Whitley Co KY was actually Edward Corder III, son of Edward and Susannah Oney Corder of Tazewell Co VA. He was living in Wayne Co KY in 1820 with his brother, Stephen Corder, and they had another brother, Richard, who moved to Tennessee. They had a brother named Elijah who died as a young man in Tazewell.

We think that the Edward Corden Sr. who was living in Wayne Co in 1820 (where Blevins families also lived) was born between 1770-1775, which dovetails with your estimated birth dates.

Old notes continued...
Elisha Corder (b 1786 John Corder/Way) had a son Wm Franklin, called himself Frank.
E.R. is not Elisha because Elisha died in 1828 VA and E.R. was in Caldwell Co, Missouri in 1840 and in Whitley KY in 1830.

E.R. Corder had a daughter \"Franky.\"
Franky named a child Elisha,

John married Mrs. Gracy (..) Corder in 1754 in Fauquier Co, Virginia. Gracy was born in 1735 in Fauquier Co, Virginia; died on 23 Feb 1815 in Smith Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some show her to be Gracy Barker but Barker is an unproven last name.

Name:
Her surname is yet unknown and unproven. This is purely incorrect and unproven, yet alone made up by someone who was paid to do research and made a mistake. Since then individuals continue to use an unproven surname for this woman. I wish everyone to stop using BARKER as her surname! If you can't prove it, don't use it!
http://cordergenealogy.com/PrimaryFamilies.html

Notes:

It is believed that John Corder who was born in Brown Run (present day Fauquier County, Virginia) could have been another son of William & Alice Corder. No proof has been found to date to support this.
This particular John Corder had at least 2 sons. John and James Corder. James married a woman by the name of Mary Felkins 27.May.1797 in Fauquier County, Virginia and died prior to 31.Jul.1835 because his brother John Corder filed for claim for being sole heir of James Corder who became ill.

John married Mrs. Patience (..) Corder in 1728 in Fauquier Co, Virginia. Patience was born in 1712 in Fauquier Co, Virginia; died in 1815 in Smith Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Some people have continued to use the surname of DUNLIN for this woman. This is purely incorrect and unproven, yet alone made up by someone who was paid to do research and made a mistake. Since then individuals continue to use an unproven surname for this woman. I wish everyone to stop using DUNLIN as her surname! If you can't prove it, don't use it!
