there are two !!
Thanks for answering ! no, sorry, not the same George. There are two George Raders in the 1850 Nicholas Co census. George Rader that married Jane McCoy lived on Strouds Creek (Bucks Garden), in the 1850 Nicholas Co census he and Jane were living with their son Sennett Rader .George's age is listed as 79 years. Also, in the same 1850 census 'my George Rader' and his wife Sarah are living with their son Adam Rader on Gauley River. Both George and Sarah are listed as 75 yrs. of age. This part of Nicholas Co. become part of Webster Co .in 1859, George is not in the 1860 Webster Co census. and can find no death record in Webster or Nicholas. Webster Courthouse burned, records along with it. No definite proof in black and white, but several clues lead me to believe John H. Rader (married a McClung) was the son of my George Rader and not son of Anthony as listed in Wm. Raders book, I have had no luck so far finding where he 'gleaned ' his information. The birth date of George Jr. below fits 'my George' .

We know Henry's daughter Mary married John Raeder because it is mentioned in Henry's will. (This is Henry b. 1708) she would have married him before the will was written in 1783. I guess it is possible that she married someone else first . . . I wish I could answer some of the other questions but I have the same ones :-) Linda
