James married Lucy Partlow about 1880. Lucy was born on 25 Feb 1759 in Caroline Co, Virginia; died after 1801. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

d/o John Partlow and Sarah Reynolds

Notes:

JOHN CORDER III OF VIRGINIA (1761-1849)

John Corder was presumably born in Fauquier County, Virginia since he enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1778 at 17 years of age and since he was living near Fiery Run Meeting House in Fauquier County at that time. Records also indicate that he had a brother named James Corder who also served in the Revolutionary War. 1.(In checking his father's record there is no James listed as a child and there is no mention of a James as a son in his fathers Will).

The Revolutionary War pension records for John Corder III indicate that he served for two years as a private in Captain William Fiels's Company, Colonel George Gibson's Regiment. He was furloughed due to sickness and was later drafted into the Virginia Militia for three months. He served the three months as a private in Captain John Thomas Chunn's Company, Colonel Armistead Churchill's Virginia Regiment and was discharged in June of 1781. He was involved in a skirmish near Hollow Spring Located below Richmond, Virginia.

Upon making application for his pension in 1832, John Corder III was required to have affidavits presented which acknowledged that he did, in fact, serve in the war as he claimed. This was necessary because the Army records carried the name John "Carder". The affidavits were needed to substantiate his claim that he was the same person whose name appeared on the pension rolls as John "Carder". A certificate of pension (No. 30628) was finally issued to John Corder on May 10, 1836 when he was 75 years of age. His pension was set at $80 per year. He was paid $440 in arrears (from effective date of the pension act to date of pension approval).

In preparing his own account of his Revolutionary War record, John Corder stated that most of his two years of service were in and around Williamsburg, Virginia. He stated that he knew General Lafayette who commanded, at that time, about 300 regular soldiers. He further swore an affidavit to the effect that he was in the habit of writing his name "Corder" but that in former times when written by persons other than himself, it was frequently written "Carder". He stated that he had frequently received small orders directed to him in which his name was written "Carder", but that he always took in those orders knowing it to be a mistake when his name was written as such. He stated that, as a result of the foregoing, he believed himself to be the identical person whose name was written John "Carder" on the Virginia Book of Settlements. He further stated that he had not previously applied for any pensions because he thought that to do so one had to have been in need circumstances and that he was not in needy circumstances.

According to Revolutionary War records, John Corder had a brother who also served in that war. (2.)(the only brother he had that was old enough to be in the war was Joel who was older than him). One record indicates that John Corder made application for his brother's bounty land. John Corder stated that his brother, James Corder marched from Culpepper in Captain Benjamin Roberts Rifle Company and that his brother was attached to the Crockett's Regiment.

This claim was denied because "that this James Corder, whose bounty land is now asked for: because it is not pretended, nor does it appear, that he, who bounty land is now claimed was ever a non-commissioned officer. It does not appear that John Corder has received bounty land." (Rejection Files: John and James Corder)

In a List of Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Line On Continental Establishment and a list of Non-Commissioned Officers and Soliders of the Virginia State Line, James Corder, soldier in the Cavalry appears in document No. 43 as one that had not received bounty land for service. Since James Corder of the State Line had already received 400 acres, it is to be assumed that the James Corder listed in document # 43 is the brother of John Corder. One can only assume that the lack of records would be to reasons for this James and John Corder failure to receive bounty land for their service. (3)(This was very possibly Joel older brother to John that was killed by the Shawnee Indians in 1794 in Kentucky).

According to his original will (Will Book A, Rappahannock Co. Virginia June 17, 1835), John Corder III was married to Hanna Way (believed to have been about 1783), and she was the mother of his eleven children. They resided in Fauquier Co. Virginia near the Rappahannock (formerly Hedgem an) River. Presumably all of their children were born there. His wife, Hanna may have died sometime between 1835 and 1838 because she is mentioned in his will of 1835 but not in the codicil to the will in 1838. The 1840 census for Rappahannock Co, however, lists a female age 70-80 living in the household of John Corder.

A search of deed records reveals that John Corder bought land across the Rappahannock River in adjacent Rappahannock County on September 22, 1835 for the sum of $2475. It is assumed that he moved to his new residence sometime on or near that date. Deed records also reveal that some of his eight sons had moved across the river in Rappahannock Co. prior to 1835. Perhaps this is the reason John Corder also moved across the river....... to be closer to his sons in his latter years.

The earliest record of a land transaction for a member of the John Corder family was in Culpepper County (this part became Rappahnnock Co in 18 33) was on September 25, 1827. This transaction was between Alexander Corder and John Thompson. Another deed record reveals that his son John IV, owned land in Culpepper Co. at this time also. Another son, Vincent, also owned land in Culpepper County prior to the purchase of land by John Corder III. Land tax records reveal that Vincent was living in Culpepper Co. as early as 1814. Personal property tax records for the 1820's and 1830's lists sons Martin, Elisha, and Elias Corder, all sons of John Corder. Only one of John Corder's eight sons is not listed as owning land in Rappahnnock County prior to purchase of land there by John Corder in 1835. That son was named Elijah.

Personal property tax records for Fauquier County in the early 1830's list the name of John Corder plus the notation of another adult male living in the same household with John Corder. This adult living in the same household with John was either his son, Elijah or perhaps a grandson. It is noted that, according to deed records, John Corder gave 137.5 acres of land to his son Elijah after he moved to Rappahannock Co. This would tend to suggest that it was indeed Elijah who was living in the same household with him in the 1830's, even though Elijah was married in 1831.

Deed records reveal that the eight sons of John Corder lived in or near the villages of Keysville, Flint Hill and Amissville, Virginia. The land purchased by John Corder was located between Flint Hill and Amissvil le near the Rappahnnock River. It is believed to have been in the vicini y of Hackley's Crossroads, Keysville, and the point on the Rappahannock River known as Crawley's (Corder's) Ford.

Four of the sons of John Corder migrated to Missouri around 1839. This date is substantiated by deed records and personal property tax records of Rappahnnock Co, Virginia which list these four sons on the tax books up to 1839. The four sons were Martin, Vincent, Nathan, and John IV. Vincent settled in the northern part of the state in Marion Co. John IV, Martin, and Nathan settled in Lafayette Co. Nathan settled near where the town of Corder is located today, while John and Martin settled near the town of Alma. The exact location of the settlements of the four sons was given by Mrs. Juel (Mary H. ) Corder who lives in Corder Missouri. She is a great granddaughter of Martin Corder. Her husband Juel Corder was a great grandson of Vincent Corder.

The town of Corder, Missouri was evidently named for George W. and Bettie Corder who platted the town in 1879. George W. Corder was a grandson of Nathan Corder, son of John Corder.

The remaining four sons of John Corder, Alexander and Elisha died rather early in life, prior to 1835. Elias remained in Rappahannock Co., near Amissville, until his death on May 15, 1879. Elijah lived in Rappahannock Co. until his death some time between 1840-1841. Some of the children of Elisha and Elias are known to have moved to Missouri also. Aldridge Corder, son of Elias, became the State Senator for Lafayette Co, Missouri. He was educated at the Academy in Warrenton, Farquier Co, Virginia.

According to a marriage record in Rappahannock Co, John Corder married again after the death of his wife Hanna Way Corder. The record states that he was married on August 6, 1845 to Mary Maddox (at the age of 84) approximately 3.5 years before his death on January 24, 1849. John Corder is believed to be buried in the Corder graveyard located approximately 3 miles west of Amissville, Virginia in Rappahannock Co. His son, Elias, and Elias wife Sarah B. and 3 of their children William G., Lelia, and Fannie L. are all buried there also.

The Corder graveyard contains a handsome bronze and concrete marker bearing the name and Revolutionary War record of John Corder. This marker was placed there on January 29, 1958 by Mr. Garnett K. Corder and his son James G. Corder. (They are descendents of Elisha Corder, son of John. The bronze marker was supplied by the U.S. Army Quartermaster upon application for by Mrs. Robert Barnes (sister of Garnett K. Corder) of New Orleans, Louisiana. The marker is a hansome tribute to this Revolutionary War veteran.

Permission was given by the owner to restore the graveyard and a chain link fence has been erected around it.

John married Hannah Way in 1783 in Rappahannock Co, Virginia. Hannah was born about 1765 in Rappahannock Co, Virginia; died before 1865 in Rappahannock Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
