ranged by Robert Gibson Corder of Richmond who lived most of his childhood in Amissville and who is descended from Alexander Corder, a son of John Corder. He has been researching the family history since 1975 and is still trying to fill in some gaps in addition to searching for the parents of the Revolutionary War veteran, John Corder. He has written two books on the Corder genealogy which are now housed in the libraries of the DAR and the SAR. Throughout his life, Corder has had a problem with his last name being confused with “Carder.” His research revealed that some things never change. His ancester, John Corder, almost lost his Revolutionary War pention because his name was carried on the Virginia Book of Settlements as John Carder. In various affidavits sworn to on his behalf, it was noted that John Corder’s last name was often spelled incorrectly as “Carder.”
The Corder family historian welcomes any information as to the location of houses or property owned by his predecessors in Rappahannock County in the 1800s. He may be contacted by writing Robert G. Corder, 311 Famham Drive, Richmond, Va. 23236.
