Dear Listers:
Here's the story on Luther Robinson.
He was born Luther Carder about 1856, and was a son of Hannah Carder (born
1834, died before 1883). He had a sister Emma Carder (1859-), who married
James Davis. Hannah Carder was not married when she had either of these
children.
Luther was raised by Hannah's sister Mary "Polly" Carder Robinson, who was
previously married to John Poland in 1825. She married John Robinson about
1849.
Luther apparently went by both Luther Carder and Luther Robinson when he was
younger, but eventually he was known by the name Luther Robinson.
Here's Luther's Carder ancestry:
Luther Carder (Robinson), born about 1856
Hannah Carder, mother, born 1834, died before 1883, lived near Romney, WV
Abbot Carder, grandfather, born about 1770, died about 1843, married third
time to Edna (1795-1874), who was Hannah's mother
William Carder (born about 1735, died 1801), wife Sarah died 1807
William and Sarah Carder moved from Culpeper County, Virginia to Hampshire
County, WV before 1777. About 1798 William and Sarah left Hampshire County,
WV and moved to Ross County, Ohio, where they both died. Some of their
children had previously moved to Ohio.
Abbot Carder was the only son of William and Sarah Carder to remain in West
Virginia. He had a 200 acre farm on Grassy Lick Rd south of Romney. He was
married 3 times and had 23 children.
I just got this information from Ashley Carder in NC. I made a connection. LOL
This is my first time. I am so happy.
