Subject: [NCCABARR] New to List -- Researching Conder

Hello,

I am trying to unravel the family of origin for my 3xg-grandfather Thomas
Conder, who was born ca. 1802. The first documented date we have for him is
his
1823 marriage in Mercer County, KY, to Nancy Whittinghill. But, family
records indicate that the Conders were from North Carolina, and my research
points
to the Mecklenburg / Cabarrus County area.

Two Conder households are listed in Mercer County, KY, in 1810. They are
John Conder and George Conder. If they are the sons listed in the 1799 Will
of
George Conder (1737-1799), they also had a brother Peter Conder, and a
sister
Margaret Conder Young.

The 1800 census for Cabarrus County shows the household of a John Conder.
And there is a 1799 marriage bond for John "Conter" and Margaret Mack (or,
Mock). The 1810 Cabarrus index shows the household of a Peter Conder. There
are
LDS postings for the marriage of a Peter Conder and Elizabeth Goodnight ca.
1792, and for a George Conder and Susanna Goodnight ca. 1782 (before
Cabarrus was
formed).

I do believe the Conders were of German Reformed heritage, and I see that
there are several congregations of that heritage in Cabarrus County. The
family
later joined the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

So, I'm hoping somone on the list might be able to help me find out more on
these Conders, and maybe even track down Thomas's parents, etc.

All the best,
