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.
