Re: England / Germany CONDERS

The Conder (Konder) family originated in Germany and before that, from a French prince named Conde. When this family migrated to Germany due to, I think, religous persecution they changed their name by adding an "r". If you will provide an e-mail address , I can scan a family tree beyond what you have.

You are correct. Look up "Joseph 2nd Prince of Conde"
on Yahoo or Google, The details are in the "thirty years war"

Thank you, lilanna72 for your Conde/Conder research. If my information is correct, in addition to Ludwig, Hans Georg had a son Jacob who was born in 1772 in Mecklenburg Co., NC. Jacob is my ggg-grandfather. I am descended through Jacob's son Joseph and Joseph's son Solomon Conder.

Well, after all these years I found them. James Taylor Conder and Ida Lou Hagan are buried in Elder Cemetery near Gravel Switch, KY. I visited the cemetery today and got to see where my great-grandfather and great-grandmother are buried.

Now to find out who the previous generation was... Peter and Sarah (Harmon) Conder...

Re: obit: Ruby Marie (Conder) Steiner,of Terre Haute, IN (1931-2005)

MarkPhillipReynolds — 2009-11-25 00:14:40Z

Therre was a Frank Conder (Condor) that is found in Clay City (I believe) in the 1900 census. Would he be any relation to Rubie Marie? The reason I ask is that my Great Grandmother- Fialty Condor (Conder) was his daughter, I think. She was born September 11, 1901. In the 1910 census she was living with a Riddell in the area. I haven't been able to fing any other Condors (Conders) at that period of time. Frank and Birdie (his wife of 7 months) were renting in 1900 (census). There is a Fred Condor that I think is my G-Grandmother's brother in the area also. Fialty married a Luther Clive Girton.

Re: Hans George Conder

lilanna72 — 2009-06-01 20:26:49Z

Hi Connie,

Here is what I've found on Hans Conde:

HISTORY OF THE KONDER-CONDER FAMILY #1

For those of you who are just beginning your Conder research, this history is not meant to be a primary source for your data. Hopefully, it will be of interest and a good starting point.
The Thirty Years' War, from 1618 to 1848, began as a civil war between German Protestants and Catholics who disagreed over the interpretation of the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. This was supposed to be a settlement to end disagreement between, and officially recognize, both Catholics and Lutherans. Then in 1618 another religious group demanded recognition in southern and central Germany - the Calvinists. But, by the end of the war, most of the European nations were involved and it had become a struggle for territory and political power.

The beginning of the Swedish-French Period of this ongoing war, in 1635, was the point where it became more political than religious, and became a war between the French Bourbons and the Austrian Hapsburgs. The French Vicomte de Turenne and Louis II, Prince of Conde won a long series of victories which was positive for the Protestants living in Germany. Finally in 1648, the Peace of Westphalia was signed, which settled political boundaries in France and Sweden, and added Calvinism as an equal religious group with Catholicism and Lutheranism. Through all this, Germany took the brunt and was in terrible condition with many people killed and much property, including whole cities, destroyed. It took almost two hundred years for them to recover. Thousands left Europe, especially Germany, and came to America seeking a better life.

During these struggles, many of the French Conde families had moved from France to the Palatine area of Germany. They had changed the spelling of their names from the French Conde to the German Kante, Konte, Konder, Gonter, Conder or a variation of those spellings. Some of these families were included in this move to America.

Hans Georg Konder was born in 1706 in Trier, Rheinland, Prussia - now Trier, Rheinland-Palatinate, Germany. His brother, Peter Konder, was born in 1711. They left for America on the ship Virtuous Grace, under the command of John Bull, Master. The ship's register shows the ship first sailed from Rotterdam and then from Cowes, landing at the Port of Philadelphia on September 24, 1737. According to the ship's records, there were 225 Palatines aboard the Virtuous Grace. The record of names of those aboard only list males over 16, so it is unclear exactly how many family members were with them. On this same day, September 24, 1737, Hans Georg and Peter Konder took and signed an Oath to the Government at the Courthouse of Philadelphia. Each signed with his mark.

Hans Georg and Peter then settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where deed records show that Peter Conder bought a lot on Queen St., Lancaster, from James Hamilton on August 15, 1740. About 1750, Hans Georg Conder moved his family to what is now Mecklenburg County, but then was probably Anson County, North Carolina. Mecklenburg was formed in 1763. One of Hans Georg's children, Ludwig or Luderwick, was born there about 1755.

According to the North Carolina Society DAR, "After the Revolution, numbers of people - many of them persons who had done service in the American Army - came and made their homes in the territory that is now Union County." Among those named was Lewis Conder. (Union County, North Carolina, was created in 1842 from Anson and Mecklenburg counties.) Land Records show that on November 9, 1786, Luderwick, or Lewis, Conder purchased his first parcel of land on Crooked Creek. He continued to buy land from 1786 until 1804, totaling 740 acres.

Lewis married Elizabeth Mueller, daughter of Phillip Mueller of Woodstock, Virginia, about 1791 in North Carolina. They had nine children – five boys and four girls. Their homestead was located on Crooked Creek about six miles from what is now Monroe, Union County, North Carolina. Lewis, Sr., Elizabeth and their children attended Crooked Creek Lutheran Church, the oldest Lutheran church in the county. It was organized about 1790 by German immigrants and was dedicated in November of 1798 by the Rev. A. N. Marcard, a Lutheran Circuit Rider. Baptismal records of the Crooked Creek Lutheran Church show dates when several of their children were baptized. Years later, the church was relocated a mile from the first site and was called McCobbin's Creek Church. It was changed again in 1906 to Morning Star Lutheran Church. The original location of this church was one half mile north, northeast of Hood's Crossing, off the Secrest Short Cut Road. The cemetery adjacent to the original church is now enclosed in a pasture with a few scattered field stones and large trees growing among the graves. This is where Lewis, Sr. was buried.

Lewis Conder, Sr. died intestate in January 1811. His widow, Elizabeth, married a second time to Moses Stevens on December 6, 1838. She died between 1850 and 1860 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

Conder/Baldock. Ashwell. Cambridgeshire, UK

beedan — 2009-03-27 23:21:53Z

Thomas Conder my 6x GGrandfather married Mary Baldock in Ashwell,Camb 18 Nov 1756. He was buried 16 Mar 1812. I do not have a birth/bap date.Many have linked him as the son of Thomas Conder and Elizabeth Jeap of Orwell.However, I cannot get past the fact that as he was born around 1711 he would have been about 45 when he married and at the birth of his last child, Ann, he would have been approx 70, and about 100 when he died. Can anyone assist in putting on the right track?

Re: the conder --who am i

joylynnehiggins — 2008-07-19 17:38:02Z

hello Ken

i have some things that were given to my mother. I am going to have to take a day sometime and clean through boxes to find the pictures and research on the Conder family. They tell me Greenberry, lived with his children near the Tenn. River in Tennessee. I think it may have been near what they call White Oak Bottom on the north side of the river, and that he is burried in that area. He later went west, i believe to Neb. but did not stay there for too many years and returned with his family to Tenn. Somewhere in the papers, his children signed a deed for his property in Tenn. i guess at his death. Mothers brother, who is deceased, was told by someone they knew where his grave was.
when I find the things I will write you again.

My 5th great grand father Hans Georg Konder b 1706-Germany, d. 1779-Rowan county,N.C. spelled his name Konder.However later it became Conder.
I beleive the Cherokee Indian part comes from my grand mother Hawkins.I have never been able to trace my Hawkins family only to my great grandfather Elwood Murphy Hawkins who I beleive to be Indian.

Re: Who am I ??

Ephrien Conder was an older brother to my grand-father. My grandfather was James Wesley Conder. His father was Greenberry Conder. My grand-father is burried in Sweet Lips cemetery near Henderson Tn. My grand-father lived in this area while raising my mother, Pauline. He directed the music at the Methodist church there. I heard him speak of his brothers often when I was a child, including Epherin Conder.

Yes, I remember my granddaddy having a visit from your great great=grand when I was a child. I also remember reading a letter to my grandparents from your family telling them of his death. My mother was the baby of 13 children and she passed away this week at the age of 87. She was the last of the old ones, we are now the old ones. She was buried in Paris, Tennessee. Do you live in Texas? I live in Alabama. Aunt Bessie, her sister is buried in Scotts Hill tn, Winnie is buried in Cedar Grove tn, Earl is buried in Scotts Hill, tn and Elvin is buried in Sweet Lips as is my grand parents, James Wesley and Belle. There was also a brother to my mother that died in a train accident when she was a small child by the name of Lawson. He was married and live in Texas. My mother was a very small child when he died.My name is Joy Higgins and I live in Athens Alabama . In the pictures that I have there is a picture of a child by the name of Alvis, I had thought this to be the son of Lawson, my mothers brother.
