Hi everyone, After over 3 weeks of the flu which turned into a nasty cold, I am once again typing away. I think I am almost caught up with the requests for the House sketches. If there are any more requests, please let me know soon. If I missed your request, please remind me. Some of you asked for several and several asked for the same ones, so I may have missed some. Since in my "other" life, I earn my living as a tax professional, I won't have a lot of time until after April to do many more, but I am hoping to get the 1840 Jackson County census on line soon, as well. I don't know about the rest of you, but having spent a lot of time this last 3 weeks dozing on the sofa with a book in one hand and the TV on, I am almost jealous of the descendants-to-be of all the people who are appearing in the Florida "Indecision 2000". I am not making a political statement, just wishing that someone had had a camcorder in the early 1800s in the hills of now Jackson County! I'd love to have a video of Reuben Reynolds "preaching in the wilderness", or a record of our great greats going off to war - and better yet, returning! Have a great week, and on Thursday, please honor those who died at Pearl Harbor. Betty

John H. Rader John H. Rader came to Mill Creek in 1852, and bought fifteen hundred acres of land extending from a few poles north of Little Creek to the waters of Frozen Camp, and crossing both Buffalo and the head of Mill Creek. There was a house at the George Custer place which may have been on this tract – the Jim Stewart, Captain Parsons house, – where his brother William Rader lived for a time. John Rader lived in the Stewart cabin while he was building on the hill. His farm comprised the Rhor, Webb, Morrison, Rollins or Patterson, Noyes, Dunn, Golden, Paugh, and other tracts of land reaching on the Frozen Camp waters. When he first came to Mill Creek, he moved into the old house at the turn above Ben Bords. He went on his land the spring of 1853. Later, John Rader sold his farm to George Street, of Barbour County, and went to Oiltown. Joseph Rader, his son, married a Cottle, and made the first improvement where the widow Dunn now lives. He was killed by the soldiers about November, 1863, and his was the first grave in the new Street graveyard. There are three of his children buried under a large hickory tree in Rollins meadow, and his grave was commenced there, but the rock interfered before the grave was deep enough, and the site was changed to the knob east of there. Harvey Rader made the first opening at the Morrison or Payne farm, except the slashing for the squatter Davis. He sold out to his brother-in-law, John Broughey, and went to Oiltown. Jonathan Griffin, another son-in-law of John Rader, first settled at the Jack Paugh place on Mill Creek, after several years, he sold to his wife's brother, Adam Rader, who married a Riddle. George Rader first cleared the Webb farm. Frank Rader built the hewed log house on the Noyes farm, but never completed nor lived in it. Four hundred acres in the northwestern corner was sold to Wash Huddleston later. John H. Rader was born in Greenbrier County. His wife was a McClung. The father of John Rader was George Rader. There is a difference of opinion as to whether he was a brother or a cousin of Michael Rader who settled on Elk Fork. He and his wife, whose maiden mane was Sarah Craig, were both from the Valley of Virginia. Of their children: Robert lived in Braxton. George moved to Missouri. Adam lived with John, at Camden on the Gauley, before the latter came to Mill Creek. His son, Hayes Rader, was once Sheriff of Nicholas County. William lived awhile in the house on the Custer farm, adjoining his brothers, and it is said, built the house across the road from where Frank Ludwick now resides. He married the widow Huddleston, and was killed on the Great Kanawha River. There was a Rader settlement in Rockingham County, in 1864, and a church called the Rader Church. George Rader moved to Greenbrier from some point in the Valley. He is said to have been wealthy, and lost Ten thousand dollars, as surety for a son-in-law. He bought land at the mouth of Stroud's Creek. The George Rader mentioned above, Anthony Rader, and Abigail Rader, were children of Michael Rader of the Greenbrier Kanawha section, and who was a nephew of the Michael Rader of Elk and a cousin of Old Joesy. George Rader's children were: Sinnett Rader. Dr. Anthony Rader, prominent in state politics. Miriam Rader, married Jim Atkinson, in Kanawha County. Their son was Governor Atkinson.

Rader Family Michael Rader lived on the first farm up Elk. He owned at one time several thousand acres of land, including the lower part of Elk Fork and Mill Creek, up to above where Hamp Parish now lives, all lower Station Camp, and a large part of Frozen Camp. He lived at the Mackintosh farm, about a mile up from Mill Creek, where he moved from Mason County before 1810, probably 1808. He was born in the Shenandoah Valley, of Pennsylvania Dutch stock. It is related of him that he talked a very broken English. The house Michael Rader lived in was just below where the Mackintosh house now stands, the latter is the Joesy Rader house. He built a mill on Elk, the first excepting Thomas's mill, on the creek above Ripley. Rader was wealthy and kept several negro slaves, as did his sons after him. One of these, Adam by name, was mostly employed in hunting, and kept up the supply of meat for the family. It was he who found the elk from which the stream received its name. Michael Rader went from the Shenandoah Valley to Greenbrier County, thence to Mason, and to what is now Jackson County. Michael Rader was a member of the first County Court of Mason County, a the time of its organization in 1804. In 1835, Michael Rader was receiving a pension from the State of Virginia, as a Militia man. County and date of enlistment not given. While I have not the date of his death, he was eighty three years old in 1835, which makes the year of his birth about 1751. Rader Family Record, copied from the family Bible in 1903: Michael Rader, born March 8th, 1751, married to Catharine Long December 25th, 1769. Their children: Elizabeth Rader, born December 28th, 1771. Catharine Rader, born December 29th, 1773. Susannah Rader, born December 23rd, 1776. Abraham Rader, born January 20th, 1779. James Rader, born January 28th, 1782. Philip Rader, born March 26th, 1784. Polly Rader, born February 18th, 1786. Michael Rader, Jr., born February 12th, 1788. He had a pension for service in the War of 1812. Joseph Rader, born October 21st, 1790. (Died in 1880.) History of Ritchie County gives the name of Joseph A. Rader. Copy of Family Record of James Rader's Family: James Rader, born January 28th, 1782, died June 12th, 1839. Married Hannah Allen on June 6th, 1805. She was born January 19th, 1781, and died April 27th, 1861. Their children were: William Allen Rader, born April 8th, 1806, died June 23rd, 1860. Lizzie Allen, died April 3rd, 1860. Michael Campbell Rader, born November 29th, 1807, and died April 14th, 1880. John Rader, born November 26th, 1810, died April 15th, year not known. Robert Rader, born November 18th, 1812, died unmarried. Miriam Rader, born August 1st, 1816, died June 4rh, 1850. Edward Hart Rader, born April 14th, 1819, died October 31st, 1909. Emily Rader, born March 20th, 1822. James Miller Rader, born 1824, died 1842. James Rader married Hannah Allen, a daughter of William Allen, of Mason County. The latter is buried at the Rader graveyard, as is James Rader and his wife. Possibly the Lizzie Allen on the family record is the wife of William Allen. James Rader was wealthy and a man of influence in the county. He was a Justice of the Peace, and held other positions of trust. Of his children, there is no record of any marriage of William A., the oldest son. Robert and James M. died unmarried. Miriam married John A. Hyre. He was born December 20th, 1812, and died January 29th, 1852, aged thirty nine years. They lived on the Allen farm, and John Hyre of Frozen Camp is their son. Both are buried at the old Rader burying ground. Emily married Pleasant H. Thomasson, son of John P. Thomasson, and lived on Left Reedy. Dr. John Rader was a physician. He married Polly Ruddle, and lived on Frozen Camp, at the Sam Parsons place, afterward moved to Elk Fork. Some of his children, and probably his wife, are buried with him in the old graveyard on the Mackintosh farm. Edward Hart Rader lived on the home place, where he was born, for over eighty one years, but finally lost it all, and when over four score years went to Sandyville to live with a daughter. He was at one time very wealthy, possessing vast bodies of land, and one of the most beautiful homes in Jackson County. The hill lands are clean and well sodded with bluegrass, and the bottoms are poles wide, smooth and fertile. The house stands on a gentle elevation, overlooking acres and acres of wide bottom lands, and barns, carriage and tool houses and all convenient out buildings stand close. It is the old James Rader homestead, and stands on the left of the road, less than a half mile above Scale Run, and about one and a fourth miles from Mill Creek. "Uncle Hart" Rader served one term as Assessor of Jackson County, and proudly says he rode over the whole county himself, taking the assessment without any assistant. He served in the Legislature of 1871, and was two years County Surveyor. He died at Sandyville, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emily Patterson, in 1909. His wife was Ruanna Wright, daughter of Ben Wright, Jr., born April 10th, 1827, died July 3rd, 1911, aged eighty four years. They were married December 22nd, 1842, by Rev. Daniel E. Merrill, and raised twelve children, three of whom were living in 1911. Most of their children have preceded them to the Great Beyond. Seven of them are lying in a row in the shadows of the old graveyard. Each had a neat and modest little slab of marble at the head, but since the building of the railroad, these have been replaced by a single monument more ostentatious. The malady which took so many of the children in the same year was, I believe, diphtheria. The children of Hart Rader, copied from their family Bible, is as follows: Emily Jane, born in 1844, married Marion Clifford, who died. She then married a Patterson. Sarah Elizabeth, born in 1846, died 1875, married Henry Bord. Mary Isabel, born in 1850, died in 1855. James Benjamin, born in 1852, married Mary Sergeant. Isadore Trainer, born in 1849, died in 1869. Edward Clinton, born in 1854, died in 1860. Cora Ann, born in 1856, married George Armstrong. Lena Augusta, born in 1859, died in 1861. Lida Fenton, born in 1861, died in 1876. Ferdenand Ferrando, born in 1863, died in 1876. Dr. William Cordett, born in 1867, died in 1876. Michael Campbell Rader, the second child of James Rader, was born in Mason County, in 1807, and when James Rader moved, which was at the same time his father came, or soon after, the child's mother carried him on a feather bed in her lap. The child would have been over a year old, and it must have been before the birth of John Rader in 1810. This fixes the date of coming to Elk at 1808 or 1809. M. C. Rader owned one thousand acres, including the Ben Bord and Jesse Allen (H. Parrish) farms. He moved to the Mill Creek side of the hill in 1837, and built his cabin at the end of the long low point, above Mr. B. B. Bord's, where the big cedar trees are standing. Later he built on the site of the residence of Mr. Bord. The silver maple tree in the front yard, he set out in 1869, the white pine in 1842. Soon after moving to Mill Creek, M. C. Rader built a little water mill against the high rocky hillside where the spruce pines grow, across from where he built his first cabin. This mill was washed out by floods two or three times, and as often rebuilt. There is a millstone to be seen at the Tom Rader house up on the point from the ford, where Joe Parsons is said to have built his cabin. It is twenty two inches across, and four inches thick, and may have been used in the mill above mentioned. It has, so the story goes, done service in a horsemill, in grinding corn for the manufacture of johnny cake and corn dodgers, which were eaten with bear meat ninety years ago. Now it is degraded to the baser service of a doorstep, at the gate. There is a pleasant fiction that the Michael Rader farm was traded for these hand mill buhrs. An Anthony Rader, living in Nicholas County, made a "bear trap", Isaac Fitzwater also made one. These were used by Anthony McClung, of Nicholas, and were both in existence at Summersville some years ago. Michael C. Rader married Rebecca, daughter of Jacob Hyre. He was born in 1807, and died in 1880, and his wife born in 1813 and died in 1882. They were married in 1832. A copy of their family record, is as follows: Michael C. Rader, born November 29th, 1807, died April 14th, 1880. Married Rebecca Hyre who was born August 26th, 1813, and died May 11th, 1882. They were married June 7th, 1832. Their children: Jacob Webster Clay Rader, born April 18th, 1834. Nancy Margaret Rader, born October 14th, 1835. Mary Rader, born in 1837, married Ben Bord. Sandusky V. Rader, born October 12th, 1837, died September 28th, 1838. Elizabeth Catharine Rader, born August 16th, 1839. Nancy Ann Rader, born March 21st, 1841, died January 9th, 1848. There were sons born in 1833 and 1844, who died in infancy. Inscriptions on gravestones which are in Ben Bord Cemetery read: M. C. Rader, born Nov. 29, 1807, died April 14, 1880, age 72 years, 4 months, 15 days. Rebecca, wife of M. C. Rader, born Aug. 26, 1813, died May 11, 1882, aged 68 years, 8 months, 15 days. Michael Rader, Jr., lived on Mill Creek below the mouth of Joe's run. He was a drummer in Captain Billy's company in the War of 1812. He married Catharine Roush, of Mason County, and lived on the farm above the mouth of Station Camp. One informant places the site of his first cabin at the old apple trees by the ford where the Joe Parsons cabin is said to have been located. Afterward, he lived in the low gap up on the point, west of the ford. This land all belonged to his father, who sold it to him, as witnessed by two deeds, on record at the Clerk's office, at Ripley: December 18th, 1828, Michael Rader sold to Michael Rader, Jr., for Three Hundred Dollars, one hundred and fifty acres of land lying on Trace Fork of Big Mill creek, above the old cabin formerly occupied by Joseph Parsons, and joining lands of Andrew Lewis. The deed is executed in Mason County. Witnessed by: (Signed) Michael Rader John Rader her Michael Rader Catherine X Rader mark Another deed is for two tracts, and is dated May 29th, 1834. One hundred acres of land patented to Michael Rader, July 18th, 1815, by Governor W. C. Nicholson, described as beginning at a black gum near the path at the first fording of the creek above the mouth of Station Camp, and running onto Station Camp. The other, patented by John Tyler, in June, 1826, lies north of this, consideration Ten Dollars. In the early days of the settlements, the road crossed the creek above J. A. Parsons, and went up through the low gap, crossing again at the old Joe Parsons cabin, instead of following around the creek, as now. Hart Rader, says Mike Rader, first built a few rods below the ford, at the mouth of Joe's Run. Children: "Wash" Rader (George W.) Born in 1814, died in 1868, first built where store is at Joe's Run, afterward moved to the Charley Shinn farm. He was clerk in a store at Reedy, in 1844 or 1845, where there was already a small improvement. Abe Rader married Polly Aultz first, second Mary Bush. He lived first at the Charley Shinn farm, and moved to Sycamore about the 1890's. He was born in 1817 and died about 1897. Will Rader married a Dye, and lived at the Low Gap across Mill Creek, below the old ford. Elvira Rader married Alec Keeney, and lived where the old apple trees are, below Cal Parishes. He sold groceries and whiskey. Rebels raided his store and burned the goods. Whiskey ran in a blaze down on the creek. Bet Rader married Wash Pfost. Joseph Rader owned the home farm for a time. He married Martha Rayburn, of the Mason County flats, a few miles out from Point Pleasant. (For history, see Reedy history.) Both Joseph and Michael, Jr., were in the War of 1812. George W. Rader was born (from record on tombstone) July 9th, 1814, and died September 18th, 1868, aged fifty four years. He married Nancy Miller, a daughter of Kitts Miller, and Aunt of Judge Warren Miller. George W., commonly called Wash Rader, lived on the Charley Shinn farm, on Station Camp, where his daughter Ellen, who married Shinn, now lives. It is said that he built a cabin near where the pike crosses Joe's Run, when he first married. In letters to Abe Rader, who was in the west, written just after the war, he mentions a son, Alonzo, and two daughters, Ellen, who married Charley Shinn, and Eliza. These letters throw light on the conditions in Jackson County, just after the war. Wash and Abe Rader were Union men, the remainder of the family all being Confederates. Under date of May 21st, 1865, he writes – "We have had a very early spring, and we have had some very high waters. On the 9th day of May, the creek was over my floor, as it was in 1852. It was twenty three inches over my house floor (probably an old house nearer the water). I had a nasty time. It only took off three hundred rails for me. I am nearly done planting. I have about two acres to put in a the Gabbert place yet, and then I'm done. I have some corn that is large enough to work. My wheat and grass all looks well. Stock is high. I sold my big oxen the first week in May, for One hundred fifty dollars. They would have weighed a thousand pounds a piece. That was seven and a half cents a pound. The thieves is still a stealing horses, grain, chickens, meat, etc. I have Bill Harper's Charley, and two weeks ago Thursday night, some rascal stole him and took him off. I don't know where, and the next morning about seven o'clock, he came back. Two weeks ago they stole two horse from Tom Wilkerson, and I have not heard of them since." Under date of July 3rd, 1868, he writes – "The weather here is extremely hot for the last two weeks and very dry for two weeks today. I have been cutting wheat for two days, and I have just one hundred dozen cut. I will have fifty more, I think. Our county is almost taxed to death, my tax last year was Seventy three Dollars, and this year we are building a new bridge at Ravenswood, and we will have to pay Nine thousand dollars for the bridge. In the last two years, we have had to pay over Sixteen thousand dollars for bridges in the county. My taxes for township purposes is Thirty eight dollars this fall. I will be strapped, I know. There is a great deal of party strife here at present. Our Rebels feel very big since Johnson's trial is over." On the 4th of October, 1868, Charley Shinn wrote Abram Rader to announce the death of Wash, on the 18th of the previous month, after "laying sick" "about five weeks", he first "took" the "information of the brain", followed by "billious feaver" and "newmonia". Dr. "Bectal" "on Grass Lick" "tended on" him three weeks. He also states that the fall was so wet that "corn has pretty near all rotted". The water had been fifteen inches higher than ever before known. Copy of Patent of Rader Land made from original parchment.

Starcher Family Perhaps the name most identified with the history of the town of Ripley, is that of Starcher. The founder of the family was Jacob Starcher. Where he came from, or when he came to Mill Creek is not recorded. One year older than Captain Parsons, he came to the mouth of Sycamore as his successor in the prime of manhood, about 1812. He probably came to Mill Creek about the time Abram Staats did, whose daughter he married, and from the same place. If this be the case, it is not recorded. Jacob Starcher married Anna Staats. They both lived to the same age, and now lie under the beautiful shade of the beech trees in the Ripley graveyard. He was born in 1768, and died in 1838, at the age of seventy years. She was born January 3rd, 1777, and died on July 8th, 1847, aged seventy years. The names of four of their children are recorded on the stone leaves of the cemetery: Jacob, born in 1795, the oldest. John C, born in 1796. Abraham, born in 1800. William, born in 1810. There are probably other children, whose names I did not learn. Of those mentioned: John C. Starcher, married Charity Lyons. Names of any children not learned. Abraham Starcher married Margaret Evans, and lived "down next to the river" as my informant expressed it. He died in 1871, at the age of seventy one. His wife died in 1852, at the age of fifty four. Their children were: Daniel Starcher, who died in 1846, unmarried. Mark Starcher, married Mary Williamson. Both are buried in the Ripley cemetery, along with his father and mother. His grave is decorated with a flag, for his gave his life for the Union. He died from the effects of wounds, after lingering ill two years after his return. He was forty five when he died. His wife survived him twenty there years, but now lies buried by his side. Joe Starcher, unlike his brother Mark, was a soldier in the Confederate Army, and was killed in service. (Thus did this tear families apart.) Sally married Jim Park. In this family there were also other children whose names I did not learn. Jacob Starcher, son of Jacob, Jr., married Rachel Woodruff. William Starcher was the youngest of the four sons of Jacob Starcher, Sr. he married Sarah (Sally) Evans, a sister of Abraham's wife. He lived across the creek, near the depot. He died in 1872. His wife died in 1883, at the age of eighty years, and lies also in the Ripley Cemetery, under the beeches. Edward, a son of William Starcher, married Emily Ables, of the Sycamore family. Probably a daughter of Alex Ables. Rosa, a daughter of William Starcher, married E D W King, a circuit rider of the Methodist itinerary. Robert E Starcher, son of William, was born near Ripley, in 1827. He filled during his life may positions of honor and trust. He served as sheriff, deputy sheriff, township supervisor, and for many years was Justice of the Peace. The Starchers who comprised the mercantile firm of Starcher Brothers, of Ripley, were grandsons of William Starcher.

Greetings!, I am still new to this list and searching for info on a variety of folks who emigrated to what is now Coshocton Co., Tuscarawas Co., and Guernsey Co. OH. In the early 1800's most of this OH region was part of Washington Co. (1798-1803) then Muskingum Co. (1804-1807), then Tuscarawas Co. (1808+) and/or Coshocton Co. (1810+) and/or Guernsey Co. (1810+). My info came from a family historian whose work has been pretty reliable. However, several marriages and births occurred in Murray KY. The only Murry in KY is in SW KY. I am wondering if this is correct as the families mostly emigrated from PA to OH and going by way of SW part of KY doesn't seem real practical. Since there is a Murray in Ohio County of WV I am hoping folks can take a look at these names and see if they recognize any. If you recognize any of these names I would appreciate it if you could contact me to discuss and confirm. Thanks! Names and Dates: George McCune married Elizabeth McFarland in 1803 in Murray. Jane McCune married Lewis Vail 22 Nov. 1813 in Murray. (more marriages below) Sarah J. Chamberlain born 22 Dec. 1822 in Murray and married John McCune Mulvane in OH. John Dean born 1838 in Murray and died unmarried. Solomon Dean born 8 Feb. 1835 in Murray and married Sarah Arter/Arther in IN. Elizabeth DeWitt born in 1803 in Murray and married James Douglass in OH in 1821. George W. McMurphy born in Murray in 1832 and married Jane Forsythe in OH in 1854. Ruhama Fuller born in Murray in 1804 and later married David Douglass in Ohio. Mary Ann or Margaret Mulvane, born in early 1800's in Murray vicinity, married possibly twice - Amos Beck, Elias Robinson in Murray or OH (depending upon source). David Richardson born in Murray 5 May 1818 and married Nancy Mulvane in 1839 in Murray. Caroline J. Upson born 1843 in Murray and married Dr. Phineas Mulvane in 1862 in IL. Jesse J. Van Sickle born in Dec. 1851 in Murray and married Mary A. McMurphey in OH. Francis "Frank" C. Wurtsbaugh, born in 1858 in Murray married Jane "Jennie" Mulvain in OH. Chauncy Wurtsbaugh (son of Frank), born in Murray (date unknown) and died there in 1960. Patti ______________________________

In the Jackson County Marriages 1880-1900, there are listed: Benjamin F Rhodes, 30, Mason (Providence) Anna Catherine Hoschar, 17, Jackson, res Providence 7/3/1891 and James W Rhodes, 27, Mason (Providence) Matilda Jane Hoschar, 21, Jackson, res Providence 7/3/1891 I would like to assume that these are brothers marrying sisters, but of course, it could be cousins or total strangers who just happened to go down to the court house at the same time. Can anyone confirm the parents of the Rhodes boys? Thanks, Betty
