Donna's work relates primarily to descendants of Benjamin Corder, believed to be the eldest son of Edward and Mary Susannah Corder of Frederick County VA and Burke's Garden, Tazewell County, VA. Benjamin Corder moved to Kentucky and then to Ohio in the early 1800's.

Elijah Corder Jr.'s Purchases at Osborne's Store

Document [7.3MB PDF]
Found in Bart Osborne's store in Dugannon, Virginia, and donated to the Library of Virginia, these ledgers provide a fascinating glimpse into the buying habits of Elijah Corder Jr. during the period of 1855 -1858. Most purchases were only for one or two items at a time (sugar, an axe, nails, coffee, etc.). Once he settled his account with cash, on another occasion he paid with cowhides. Most interesting, his purchases were usually made for his children. He settled daughter Jane's account, and he purchased various sundries for son David, but most of his shopping was for his son Jonathan, who was about sixteen years old when the bulk of the purchases were made. For Jonathan he bought sugar, nails, coffee, a wool hat, shoes, powder, ginger, a bridle, a cake of tobacco, lead, a cravat, an umbrella, a "spell book" and corn.

Greenway Court's
1966 nomation to the National Register of Historic
Places gives interesting details about the manor of Greenway Court
and its outbuildings and occupants. This form states that the
roof collapsed in 1834 and the lodge was subsequently torn down,
contradicting other accounts that the house burned late in the
1800's.
