Excerpts and Abstracts
This is a collection of notes, records and
transcriptions collected since approximately 1989 during my years
of researching the Corder family and allied lines. These records
and notes represent research for which I have in my files no
copies of original source documents,
and in some cases, no notations regarding the original sources.
In no way does
inclusion in this section mean that original documents for any records
cited below do not exist, only that I do not own copies.
Please contact
me if you can provide original source information or copies
of source documents for any of these records so that I can move
them to the main page of this section.

May 1782 This 8-page transcription of the inventory
of Lord Fairfax's estate contains a staggering display of late-eighteenth
century wealth on the Virginia frontier. Tenants and settlers
must have been dazzled by the gold watch (and tissue), twenty-five
pounds & ten and a half ounces of silver plate, five pairs
of silver shoe buckles, silver hilted sword, volumes of history,
law and classics, personal silks and damasks, twelve mahogany
chairs, a "chariot harness" and twelve --twelve!--bedsteads,
along with hundreds of other items. This is to say nothing of
the forty-seven thousand plus pounds "Cash in Specie &
Paper currency".
