Surnames: Corder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AN.2ADE/697.1 Message Board Post: The 1876 Historical Atlas for Callaway County, Missouri shows that J. Corder owned two parcels of property in Shamrock (political) Township, Twn49N Rng07W Sec01 SWofNE and NEofNE, for a total of 80 acres. The house on that property was indicated to lie in the NEofNEofSWofNE in that survey township. He was not indicated to have owned the same property in the 1897 Historical Atlas. I checked both Baumgartner&Baynam (1930's) and Ewens&Lawson (1980's) cemetery listings for J. Corder with no success. Based on the current catalog of cemeteries in Callaway County we show no known cemeteries in these two land plots or within one mile. Please refer to current map for Callaway County cemeteries at: http://home.earthlink.net/~kchsoc/callawaycemeteries.html . The Corder land would be in the very extreme NE corner of Callaway County, North of Chapman and East of Todd Cemeteries. This is not to say that it does not exist since myself and another individual have added sixty-seven (! 67) cemeteries to the Callaway County catalog of cemeteries in the last four and a half years. On what authority do you know that he was buried on his own land? Probate records or obituaries? If there is something reasonably concrete to indicate that he was buried on his land, I will be glad to check it out as the opportunity arises. Sincerely yours, Wayne E. Johnson
