General Notes: These two were dead before Casper died in 1812. (Philip 1801) and (Stephen 1809). Casper names a living son Phillip and does not name heirs of Stephen. It would seem that they were not his children ?

Casper and Regina were married in the Bethel Township of Berks County, Pennsylvania by the Reverend John Casper Stover See "Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southern Pennsylvania" by the Genealogical Publishing Company of Baltimore for the records of John Casper Stover from 1730 to 1779. The same record states that Casper Rader and Regina Gerhardt sponsored a child born to George and Magdalena Sedelmeyer in Bethel on March 17, 1762. Berks County was formed in 1752 from Lancaster, Philadelphia and Chester Counties. Casper and his family moved to Montgomery County, Virginia from Hanover Township, Lancaster County Pennsylvania somewhere between 1782 and 1785. On February 17, 1790 Casper's home was located on Reed Creek and the Crab Orchard Fork of Little Walker's Creek in Wythe County, Virginia which was formed from Montgomery County, Virginia in 1789. Casper was living in Montgomery County, Virginia in 1788 according to the tax list of that county. The 1789 Montgomery County, Virginia tax list indicated Casper had one male child over 16 and owned ten horses. The 1800 Wythe County, Virginia tax list indicated Casper lived northwest of Brush Mountain and had one male over 16 and owned ten horses and one slave. In 1802 Casper was still living in Wythe county, Virginia according to the tax list. In 1798 Casper was a deacon of the St. John's Lutheran Church in Wytheville, Virginia and in 1800 he and three of his sons financially supported the building of the St. John's Lutheran Church See "Wythe County Chapters" edited and published by James S.

Casper names a living son Phillip and does not name heirs of Stephen. It would seem that they were not his children ?

Please to assce Marriage license for Coonrod Rader and my Daughter Elizabeth for I am willing your Calvin Ory June 3, 1788

General Notes: Elizabeth Rader died May 6, 1848 aged 75 years, 10 months + 25 days. There is considreable discussion of her maiden name, James C. Spraker writes the forrowing: Ms Worrell's compilation of marriages has a number of mistakes, including the name "Fry" used instead of "Ory". One source misread the name as "Pry", no doubt because of the rarity of the Ory name in this part of Virginia. Mrs Worrell, it appears, misinterpreted that first mispelling as a variant of the german "Pf" sound, thus erroneously rendering the name as "Fry" . As you can see, this error is a mistake in the second degree, a mispelling from an already mispelled secondary source. Since Calvin Ory himself signed his letter it would be absurd to believe that he did not know how to spell his own name

His personal estate was sold for a total of $373.13.

General Notes: Both John Rader and Lewis Woolford died before this last debt was repaid and the executors of the estate of Lewis Woolford sued the estate of John Rader to recover the $287.63(Greene County, Tennessee Chancery Court volumn May 1825 to March 1836, page 481 dated 1842).
John Rader was born about 1769 in Lancaster County, Pa. He died on 3 Feb 1840 in Greene County, Tennessee.

He purchased lot 46 in Evansham in 1798. It was located on the south side of Main st., nine lots southwest of the Cross Street.

The record of the marriage of John and Etter, Mary is recorded in the "Annals of Southwest Virginia 1769-1800" by Lewis Preston Summers, part two of volumn one.

On May 24, 1800 John was living in Wythe County, Virginia and had one male in his household over 16 years of age and owned one horse and no slaves.

In 1800 John was listed as a subscriber for the building of the St. John's Lutheran Church in Wytheville, Virginia (See "Wythe Conuty Chapters" edited and published by James S. Presgraves).

In 1800 John and Mary sold land to John W. Doak located in Evansham, Virginia (Wythe county Deed Book No. 2, page 496 dated 1800). Evansham was the original name for Wytheville, Virgina.

On September 22, 1801 John purchased 200 acres of land in Greene County, Tennessee and listed his home as Wythe County, Virgina.

John and wife Mary sold 300 acres of land to Michael Cormany on 31 May 1803.

The Greene County tax list of 1812 indicated he owned 200 acres of land.

The court appointed John Rader guardian for Samuel, Anne, and Susanna Rader, orphans of William Rader, deceased, in 1805, and on November 15, 1809, Samuel was to be bound out to Christopher Oury to learn the trade of a taylor, and Annie was to be bound out to Christopher, son of Christopher Brown. These were his brother William Rader's children, as William had died about 1802.

The following is a brief history of the lives of John and Mary Rader who left their home in Wytheville, Virginia around 1800 and made their way to the valley of East Tennessee to raise their family and settle a new territory. John Rader and Mary Etter were married in Wythe County, Virginia on December 17, 1793. See the "Annals of Southwest Virginia" by Summers, page 1377. John Rader moved from Wythe County, Virginia to Greene County, Tennessee prior to 1801 according to a land deed for the purchase of 200 acres from Thomas Province located in Greene County (Greene County Deed Book volumn 24, page 186 dated September 22, 1801). This same 200 acres was later sold to John Lady in 1819 (Deed Book volumn 1, page 37 dated February 23, 1819). From 1809 to 1811 John was living in Captain Joseph Kirk's district on the waters of Lick Creek and owned 200 acres of land. By 1812 he had purchased 160 additional acres in Bulls Gap, Tennessee lying in Greene, Hawkins and Jefferson Counties. By 1829 he had sold the 200 acres and had only the 160 acres at Bulls Gap. In 1840 John was living in district number six and owned three separate pieces of land, one containing 50 acres, another 44 acres and one containing 31 acres.

On July 29, 1807 John Rader was appointed by the Greene County, Tennessee Court of Common Pleas to rear Daniel Etter, son of John and Mary Etter, and to teach him the trade of wagon maker (Page 237). On March 12, 1822 John signed a deed of trust to Merryman Payne for the 160 acres he owned lying in Greene, Hawkins and Jefferson Counties to secure a loan of ninety dollars and seventy cents from Deaderick and Sevier of Greeneville, Tennessee Again on November 6, 1835 John mortaged his property consisting of 50 acres located in Bulls Gap, Tennessee and 31 acres located on War Creek on the waters of Lick Creek. This property was used to secure a loan of $287.63 from Lewis Woolford of Wythe County, Virginia with John Etter acting as trustee for the benefit of Lewis Woolford (Greene County Deed Book volumn 18, page 63 dated November 6, 1835). Both John Rader and Lewis Woolford died before this last debt was repaid and the executors of the estate of Lewis Woolford sued the estate of John Rader to recover the $287.63 (Greene County, Tennessee Chancery Court volumn May 1825 to March 1836, page 481 dated 1842). John probably mortaged his property in 1835 to defray expenses in a lawsuit filed against him and James Guthrie on November 9, 1835 in Greene County, Tennessee Chancery Court (Chancery Court record dated November 9, 1835, page 279). The case involved the rightful ownership of 90 acres of land John possessed lying in Greene, Hawkins and Jefferson Counties. The case was heard on February 16, 1837 and resulted in John loosing ownership of the property, some of the same property he had mortgaged in 1835. A final disposition of the case was filed in the Greene County, Tennessee Deed Book numner 22, page 412 dated March 24, 1847. Also a complete history of the case was filed in Chancery Court dated February 17 1837, page 306 with a final disposition filed in Chancery Court dated September 14, 1837, volume May 1825 to March 1836, page 315.

John Rader died intestate in Greene County, Tennessee in August of 1840. Leland Davis was appointed by county court to act as administrator of his estate. The court also appointed William Willoughby, Thomas Jackson and Vincent Jackson as commissioners to set aside a portion of the estate left by John Rader to be used by his widow Mary Rader (Greene County, Tennessee County Court volumn January 1839 to December 1843,pages 159 and 167, dated September 7, 1840 and October 5, 1840 respectively) The personal estate of John Rader was sold at public auction on October 2 and 3 of 1840. The sale of individual items and those who purchased them is recorded in the Greene County, Tennessee Inventory of Estates, volumn 1828 to 1854, page 574, dated October 5, 1841.

His personal estate was sold for a total of $373.13. The settlement of John Rader's estate was a legal nightmare and was finally sorted out in Chancery Court in Greeneville, Tennessee on February 14, 1844. The final decree for this case can be found in Chancery Court record volumn June 1841 to June 1848, pages 455 through 457, dated June 1844. This final decree is valuable since it lists all the children of John and Mary Rader, the husbands of all his daughters and the location of each of his children. As a result of the decree, the remainder of John's land was sold at public auction on June 10, 1844 at the Greeneville Courthouse to William Drake and Anthony B. Keele for $67.75. Mary Rader, the wife of John Rader, died in 1848 and left a Will dated April 2, 1847. This Will was probated in Greene County, Tennessee on March 6, 1848 which is used as her death date since the exact date is not known. Mary gave most of her personal estate to her daughters; Sarah and Sophia were not mentioned. The remainder of her estate was sold at public auction on April 3, 1848 and is recorded in the Greene County, Tennessee Inventory of Estates, volumn June 1843 to March 1854, page 320. After John died Mary lived the remainder of her life with her oldest daughter Elizabeth.

Children from this marriage were:

56 M i. Henry Rader died on 16 Aug 1826 in Sevier County, Tennessee and was buried in Fox Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee.

57 M ii. Casper Rader was born on 8 Aug 1829, died on 27 Jun 1834 in Sevier County, Tennessee at age 4, and was buried in Fox Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee.

Casper next married Mary Ann Milliron WFT Est 1854-1887. Mary was born on 6 Apr 1840 in Armstrong Co., PA and died on 24 Apr 1933 in McCrea's furnace, Wayne Twp, Armstrong Co, PA at age 93.

General Notes: My great-grandmother, Lovina Rader and her mother, Mary Ann (Milliron) Rader are enumerated twice on the 1860 census: once (12 August 1860), with Henry Rader, the father and husband, in his parents' household, and once [26 June 1860] in Mary Ann's father's family (one county over). Since Lovina was born on 5 May 1860, my theory is that either Mary Ann went home to be with her father and step-mother for the birth of her first child, or she took the baby to visit so her father could see his (first, I think) grandchild, and just happened to be in that household when the census-taker came. As Elissa says, "Every record tells a story." (even if we can't be 100% sure what it is!)

General Notes: Hi Jim, (SAMIE MELTON [smmelton@home.com]

Interesting webpage. I'm still early on in my Rader research and your page was very helpful. Thanks. I have one correction though - that is in the family of Christopher and Anna Marie (Rader) Brown. They had six children not five as show in the second generation of Casper Rader. The sixth was John A Brown (born abt 1818). John A Brown, along with Rufus Repass, was named as an executor of Christopher Brown's will (Wythe Co, VA, Will Book 7, p 201-202; LDS Film 0034226).

DESCRIPTION:

This house is "L" shaped, two and one half stories, full length front porch, also full length back porch, gabled roof with gable in front, big stone chimney at east end, a brick chimney five feet in thickness in center of the front section and another in the center of the L section. There are ten rooms, partly plastered and partly ceiled with wide beaded boards, and fireplaces in each room and in each of the three cellars. A straight enclosed stairway with three landings leads from the second room which little flights of steps lead to bedrooms on east and west sides, the treads are worn off of at the edges. There are the chair rails, and tall wide walnut mantels with shelves supported ornamental brackets. The entry between the front and back sections lead to the kitchen and dining room, main entrance has six-paneled door with sidelights eight by ten inches, a shelf protrudes from the base of the sidelight panel on each side.

The house was apparent1y built at different times. Eight windows in the second story part five of them show three levels of place-ment in a horizontal row.

An old spring house northwest of house is constructed of brick which had been used in an old house that stood east of the present one built of logs and now covered with weathered boarding. It is said that John A. Brown was owner of many slaves and that the slave quarters was removed years ago. An immense log barn stands just east of the house. It is said that when it was raised to the roof plates the workmen themselves felt some timidity about ascending. Some of them more timorous said, "I would not walk around that plate for a farm", "Nor would I for a horse" etc. Mrs. Brown climbed the ladder, balanced herself on the edge and walked fearlessly around the entire roof plate. The date of erection is unknown but it is thought to be between 1790 and 1820.

Birth Notes: Paper by Margaret Elizabeth Morrett Riley
written at DePauw university 1917

Pro-German to Pro-American
A family by the name of Rader, left Germany, for America about the year 1750. During the rough voyage, the father and mother died, and the three sons, Conrad, Jasper and John were bound out according to the custom. They were taken by different families, in this case, and as it happened, never to meet again
One of the boys was taken to Virginia, in the neighborhood of Wythe Courthouse. Nothing is known of his life or family, except that his son Philip Rader was born August 12, 1782. Philip was raised with little education, but he told his children, of having many good times in a place called Bells Knob. He married Miss Cross and in 1803 moved to Ohio, locating somewhere on the Stillwater. We have been told that he had the only four horse team, in the neighborhood. In 1802 or 1803, Philip hauled the Poplar logs for the home where Henry Waymire was born, just after he moved a Hoover family from Cordina.
When the Indian War broke out in 1812, he enlisted at Dayton, Ohio, under General William H. Harrison, for six months. His Colonel's name was brier. At the end of six months, he hired as a teamster, finding his own team, to haul supplies to the soldiers. He was on the Oglaze or Maimee River during the Battle of Tippecanoe. His four children died young, and his wife died about 1814.

A family history was written by Wilbur Rader, grandson of Philip Rader, Sr. The history was in the possession of Fay Morrett Sterling at the time of her death and was passed on to her husband - thereby lost to future generations of Raders. The following is paraphrased from a paper written in 1917 for a freshman English class at DePauw University by Elizabeth Morrett Riley:

A family by the name of Rader left Germany for America around 1750. During the rough voyage, the father and mother died. The three sons, Conrad, Jasper and John were taken by different families and never met again upon reaching America.
One of the boys was taken to Virginia - in the neighborhood of Wythe Courthouse. Nothing is known of his life or family except that his son, Philip Rader, Sr. was born August 12, 1782. Philip was raised with little education but he told his choldren of having many good times in a place called Bells Knob. He married Miss Cross and in 1803 moved to Ohio, locating somewhere on the Stillwater. He had the only four horse team in the neighborhood. In 1802 or 1803, Philip hauled the poplar logs for the home where Henry Waymire was born, just after he moved a Hoover family from Cordina.
When the Indian War broke out in 1812, Philip enlisted at Dayton Ohio and served under General William H. Harrison for six months. His colonel's name was Brier. At the end of six months, he hired as a teamster, finding his own team to haul supplies to the soldiers. He was on the Oglaze or Miamee River during the Battle of Tippecanoe.
Philip and his wife had four children who all died young. His wife died about 1814. He then married Miss Siddon and they had six children - five girls and one boy.

Noted events in their marriage were:

• Alt Marriage: 2 Feb 1815, Wytheville, Wythe County, Virginia.

General Notes: This marraige record is the only evidence I currently have. This Jacob was suposed to have fathered a child Sally Wyrick in 1821. On 11 Sept 1827 he was appointed to settle with Casper Yost and Christopher Brown, executors of John Houndshell and his name does not appear again in Wyth County records

It appears that he moved to Tazwell Co., VA where he became deputy clerk March 1820. He testified in a wythe county case in 1821 giving his place of residence as Jeffersonville, Tazwell, VA. He is still in that county in 1823 when he made a deed.

There are Jacob T Fishback's in Johnson co, Indiana in 1824. There is also a family in Clark Co., Illinois which may be connected

Jacob T Fishback was in Wythe county 1811 and could have been the child of Dorthea Christian married Dr. Fishback. He could of left in 1815 but he was named in 2 later legal matters

Hello Jim:

I have been researching the Fishback/Rader/Wyrick dilemma for some time and also found a court record that Jacob T. sued for custody of Jacob his son from George Wyrick, the boy's grandfather. Also, I found in a Census record a Catherine Fishback with kids the right age etc. in Johnson Co., Indiana. Interesting stuff heh? Don't have time to put it all together right now but will keep in touch with you. KURT

General Notes: from "Virginia and Virginians 1606-1888" by Dr. R. A. Brock VA Historical Society. George is one of the eleven children of James and Nancy O. (Rader) Seagle, early and honored residents of Wythe county. His widow still survives him -- more follows ---
On July 18, 2003 we visited the fish hatchery in Wythe County, Virginia. There was and old Gentleman there sitting on a golf cart that was the overseer of the rearing station. He said they didn't do much there anymore but I was very welcome to take a self guided tour around if I wanted to. He also said I could fish in the lower pond if I wanted to. Having a pole in the trunk I thought that would be great fun and within 10 minutes I had landed three very nice sized Rainbow Trout. It was a lot of fun but almost like shooting ducks in a cage. The spring that the water comes from to feed the rearing station comes out of the side of the mountain from a large cavern formation and the water is very fresh and clear. It appeared that they had many thousand large trout in the holding tanks that would put in the streams of Virginia at some point in time. It was a very interesting afternoon and I had a great time fishing the lower pond. It looked to me like George had the ideal job as the super of this place back in the 1880's. Thomas Rader

I have Lewis Bowers married Barbary Cobble, solomized the 16th day o f Sept. 1847. The marriage bond taken out the 14 of Sept. 1847, by Le wis Bowers and A. Hale, for the sum of (believe this!) $1250.00, at th e clerk's office in Greeneville, TN. Clerk's name was Geo. W. Fonte . I can't quite make out the name of the minister, but looks like I . K. Hancher.

The 1850 Census of Greene Co., TN, taken the 23rd of Nov, shows Lewi s Bowers in the 9th Division, E. District, Dwelling and Family # 1532 .

When I began my BOWERS research, I started with me, and worked back . I was born in Independence Co., AR, as was my father, Fred Thomas Bo wers, as was his father, William Lewis Bowers, and his father was Andr ew Jackson Bowers born abt. 1858 in Greene Co., TN, his father LEWIS B OWERS b. abt. 22 Feb. 1828, Greene Co., TN.

I have an article (sort of a bio) found on the internet, taken from " A Centennial History of Arkansas" edited by Dallas T. Herndon, the Dir ector of the Dept. of Archives History, Published by the S. J. Clark e Publishing Co., Chicage-Little Rock, 1922, which gives a little hist ory on the life of T. J. BOWERS, (who was a son of LEWIS BOWERS). I t gives a little history of Lewis Bowers, but I find a questionable st atement in the introduction.

"T. J. Bowers, editor of the Searcy News, was born in Greene Co., Tenn , Aug. 19, 1861. He is a represenative of one of the oldest familie s of Penn., his ancestors coming to the New World during William Penn' s time. The family is noted for longetivity. The grandfather, Lewi s
Bowers (here is the questionable part) was born in the Keystone state , (Pennsylvania) and removed to Tenn, where he followed the occupatio n of farming. His son, and namesake, Lewis BOWERS, was born in Green e Co., Tenn, and after arriving at adult age, there married a Barbar a A. COBBLE, who was also born in that county." (The article lists th eir children, and who they married and where they lived, and mention s that the mother was a daughter of William COBBLE, who was a carpente r and contractor of Tenn.) The article also says that Lewis Bowers li ved in Cushman, AR, then went to Wash. D. C. where he died in 1910, a t the
advanced age of 85 years, while his wife depaqrted this life in 1908 a t the age of 81 years. (I believe that Barbary Cobble Bowers is burie d up at Cushman, AR.

General Notes: Greene Co., TN marriage # 666 Dec 14, 1842 John Rader -- Jane P. Britton -- Martin Welty -- md 15 DEC 1842 -- John D. Gibson M.G. Jane P. Britton was the daughter of Daniel and Margaret Britton(Greene County, Tennessee Deed Book volumn 29, page 637 dated November 4, 1858). This document records the results of a Chancery Court lawsuit brought by Margaret Britton, John M. Gass and wife Rebecca and other heirs of Daniel Britton against John Rader and his children by Jane P. Britton Rader deceased. The case was heard on November 4, 1858 in Chancery Court in Greeneville, Tennessee. John and Jane's children are mentioned by name in the document. John and Jane were living in District number 7 of Greene County, Tennessee in the 1850 census. By family tradition Jane is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Church cemetery.

Anna Cobble was the daughter of Phillip Cobble and Sarah Stulz Cobble(Greene County, Tennessee Deed Book volumn 35, page 547 dated August 27, 1866). This is also verified by the Will of Phillip Cobble written on March 1, 1861 and probated in Greene County, Tennessee on August 5, 1861. John and Anna were living in Greeneville District number 8 in the 1860 census. They were divorced between 1866 and 1867. On February 11, 1867 John sold 56 acres in District number 8 of Greene County, Tennessee to his two daughters by Anna(Deed Book volumn 35, page 329 dated February 11, 1867). Anna was living with her two daughters in district number 8 of Greene County, Tennessee in 1880(census). The identity of John's third wife has not been fully documented. In 1880 John was living in District number 25 of Greene County, Tennessee with his third wife Mary and their children. The Greene County, Tennessee marriage records record the marriage of John Rader to Mary E. Stafford on September 7, 1876 but there is no conclusive proof that this is our John. Others say that John married Mary Almon(Allman) the daughter of Lewis C. Almon and Lucinda Hall Almon. Lewis and Lucinda were married in Greene County, Tennessee on December 26, 1855 by John Rader Justice of the Peace. Lewis and Lucinda had two daughters Mary and Sarah. It is through Sarah's line that the record of Mary Almon's marriage to John Rader comes.
John Rader was born on 15 Feb 1822 in Greene COUNTY, TENNESSEE He died in 1900 in murdered, Blountville, TENNESSEE Greene COUNTY, TENNESSEE marriage # 666 Dec 14, 1842 John Rader -- Jane P. Britton -- Martin Welty -- md 15 DEC 1842 -- John D. Gibson M.G. Jane P. Britton was the daughter of Daniel and Margaret Britton (GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE Deed Book volumn 29, page 637 dated November 4, 1858). This document records the results of a Chancery Court lawsuit brought by Margaret Britton, John M. Gass and wife Rebecca and other heirs of Daniel Britton against John Rader and his children by Jane P. Britton Rader deceased. The case was heard on November 4, 1858 in Chancery Court in Greeneville, TENNESSEE John and Jane's children are mentioned by name in the document. John and Jane were living in District number 7 of GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE in the 1850 census. By family tradition Jane is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Church cemetery. Anna Cobble was the daughter of Phillip Cobble and Sarah Stulz Cobble (GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE Deed Book volumn 35, page 547 dated August 27, 1866). This is also verified by the Will of Phillip Cobble written on March 1, 1861 and probated in GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE on August 5, 1861. John and Anna were living in Greeneville District number 8 in the 1860 census. They were divorced between 1866 and 1867. On February 11, 1867 John sold 56 acres in District number 8 of GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE to his two daughters by Anna (Deed Book volumn 35, page 329 dated February 11, 1867). Anna was living with her two daughters in district number 8 of GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE in 1880 census. The identity of John's third wife has not been fully documented. In 1880 John was living in District number 25 of GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE with his third wife Mary and their children. The GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE marriage records record the marriage of John Rader to Mary E. Stafford on September 7, 1876 but there is no conclusive proof that this is our John. Others say that John married Mary Almon (Allman) the daughter of Lewis C. Almon and Lucinda Hall Almon. Lewis and Lucinda were married in GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE on December 26, 1855 by John Rader Justice of the Peace. Lewis and Lucinda had two daughters Mary and Sarah.

General Notes: by Harry Roberts Civil War Legends

During the Civil War some soldiers, whether Union or Rebel is not known, camped in the woods back of the Harry Rader home. They built their fires against trees, some of which, when recently cut, bore old burn marks from these bivouacs.

Major Lister, who was born in 1868, remembers his mother telling him of seeing a group of Union Soldiers pass by the old Henry Rader home, where she was staying with her sister. The soldiers passed at night and we could see the sparks flying from their shoes as they struck rocks on the roadway. They rode by the house on past where the church now stands and disappeared into the night, later to surprise General Morgan in Greeneville. Henry Rader (1829-1864)

Henry Rader left Dulaney on horseback and rode to Rader's Sidetrack where he boarded the train for joining the Confederate Army. He and his cousin Daniel Rader had no special concern for the Confederacy but were influenced by some other men of the area. This according to what Mr. Wilmer R. Rader told me.

Uncle Andy, a 12 year old boy, rode another horse and went to the sidetrack with his father to bring the horse back home. Wouldn't you like to have heard their conversation on the way to the sidetrack. I doubt if Uncle Andy ever told anyone what was said.

I do not know any dates regarding his service except the date of capture and his death. He died of dysentery in Camp Douglas just outside of Chicago, Ill. I have read of the neglect and unsanitary conditions which existed there.

Henry Rader was stationed at Big Creek Gap which is north west of Knoxville, Tenn., in the Cumberland Mountains. The reason for that camp was to guard one of the passes through the Cumberland Mountains . To prevent the invasion of a Union Army which was stationed in Kentucky from early in the war waiting until it was safe to bring an army into East Tennessee.

That opportunity did not present itself until the summer of 1863. The Confederates had a Knoxville based army in East Tennessee guarding the railroad, and rich agricultural area as long as they were able.

In the summer - early August - the Confederates under Gen. Buckner were ordered to move toward Chattanooga to help protect the army of Gen. Bragg. Gen Buckner left one brigade to defend Cumberland Gap and another along the railroad east of Knoxville - and marched his main army toward Chattanooga.

Gen Burnside was in command of the army in eastern Kentucky. He marched toward Knoxville, but not by the way of the Cumberland Gap which was heavily fortified to withstand an assault from the north (Kentucky). Instead he entered Tennessee by some very rugged passes through the mountains west of he Gap.

Burnside and part of the XXlll Corps of the Dept. of the Ohio, arrived in Knoxville on Sept. 2 and immediately sent a part of his army to capture Cumberland Gap, from the poorly fortified south (Tenn.) side.

The Confederate garrison of some 2,500 men was under the command of Brig. Gen. John W. Frazier. He surrendered with very little resistance, losing in addition to his small army 3,000 stands of small arms. (A stand consisted of a complete outfit for a soldier, rifle, bayonet, cartridge & belt. Or sometimes the rifle belt of ammunition alone) and 36 cannon.

I presume that the prisoners were taken to Knoxville and then sent to Camp Douglas. Reports on whether Henry Rader was able to come home after he joined seemed to be indefinite. Since he evidently was stationed in the Knoxville area it is most probable that he did come home for a visit before being captured.

The home of HENRY and POLLYAN RADER is a landmark in Dulaney Community and probably one of the oldest structures in the county. It was built long before HENRY bought it for his family in 1858. It is vacant and used for storage at present, but we were impressed by the fine craftsmanship revealed in the brickwork of the chimney and the solid log construction. It stands near the crest of a hill. A descendant, MARGARET RADER, remembers it as being a very inviting spot with a wide veranda and shaded by large oak trees. A spring once gurgled at the foot_ of the hill. She said a constant stream of visitors came to the home in the olden days.

HENRY was a farmer and he actually established a blacksmith shop in Dulaney, which is a village off the Warrensburg Road about twelve miles southwest of Greenville. The bellows and blacksmithing tools are still intact and have been used by succeeding generations.

HENRY joined the Confederate Army, was captured by Union forces and later died in a prison camp in the Chicago area. A comrade brought his sword back to the family which remains a treasure among descendants. Condition Camp Douglas from Am. Heritage Magazine Aug. 1959

Filth, poor drainage, over crowding created a horror at Camp Douglas on the edge of Chicago. The Pres. of the U. S. Sanitary Commission after inspecting the place asserted that the conditions were "enough to drive a sanitarian mad". In the fall of 1864 the colonel who commanded this camp reported that 984 of his 7,402 prisoners were sick, said that there had been a lack of efficiency in the management of the medical affairs of the post and complained that many prisoners had scurvy because no vegetable or any antiscorbutics were available. part of a conversation with CHARLES P. RADER JULY 22, 1990 2457 Greenhaven, Akron OH 44313 - (216) 836-6940

The Civil War split the Rader family right down the middle. Henry's branch was affluent because they owned slaves so they went with the South. Henry spoke a little german and was probably the last. They settled in Lickcreek in Green County. Henry and Jacob, who were brothers, each had a son named William and they were born within a year of each other. I think one in 1798 and the other 1799. Henry son of the 1798 William died in the Civil War. I found his grave in Chicago. It's on the south side of Chicago, and that isn't the nicest neighborhood. It's a city block, it has a twelve foot concrete wall around it. It's an old cemetery that's been there since the civil war. They even told me where the grave was, they had a record of it and I was able to go right to it. He died there in 1864, he was a sergeant in confederate army. Of coarse, after the war the family was destitute, they had no means of bringing him back for internment in Tennessee. It was a mass grave, they strung them along in a chain. You can say within a few feet, this where he is buried. They have all their names engraved on a plate there.
Died in Camp Douglas, Union Prison.

Part of a conversation with CHARLES P. RADER JULY 22, 1990 2457 Greenhaven, Akron OH 44313 - (216) 836-6940 The Civil War split the Rader family right down the middle.

One section of Oak Woods is known as the "Confederate Mound". A 46-foot monument stands alone, surrounded by cannon and cannonballs. Buried around it are an estimated six thousand soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy.

Camp Douglas was a prisoner of war internment camp near the 35th-street estate of Stephen Douglas, named for the late senator. Like all P.O.W. camps of its day, it was rife with communicable diseases smallpox and dysentery. Conditions were appalling, and thousands died. A group of prisoners plotted to escape the camp and capture Chicago for the Confederacy, but were thwarted by Allan Pinkerton. By the end of the war, thousands had died and been buried in the North Side's old City Cemetery.

Upon the closing of City Cemetery, the bodies interred there were moved to the new cemeteries Rosehill, Graceland, Oak Woods. The federal government purchased a section of Oak Woods in 1867 to accomodate the 4200 known casualties of Camp Douglas. The coffins were placed in concentric circular trenches. Although the government only had 4200 names, cemetery records indicate that closer to 6000 coffins were buried here. In addition to the unknown number of Southerners, twelve Union soldiers are buried here as well, guards from the camp. Their markers, reading "Unknown U.S. Soldier", stand in a single row behind one cannon.

The 46-foot monument was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30, 1895. Over 100,000 people attended the ceremonies, including large numbers of men from both armies. President Cleveland and his cabinet were there as well. In 1911, bronze panels were added to the base, with the soldiers' names, ranks, units, and home states.

The Confederate Mound at Oak Woods is the largest Confederate burial ground in all the North. The Confederate dead here buried in concentric trenches were all private soldiers.

The monument to their memory is of Georgia granite, stands forty feet from the ground to the top of statue and was erected in July 1893 with funds mainly subscribed by liberal citizens of Chicago and camps of the United Confederate Veterans.

The bronze panels of the pedestal die represent:
On the East face - THE CALL TO ARMS;
On the West face - A VETERAN'S RETURN HOME;
And On the South face - A SOLDIER'S DEATH DREAM;

The bronze statue surmounting the battlemented cap of the column is a realistic representation of a confederate infantry soldier after the surrender. The face expresses sorrow for the thousands of prison dead interred beneath.

TO THE MEMORY OF THE SIX THOUSAND
SOUTHERN SOLDIERS HERE BURIED . . . WHO DIED
IN CAMP DOUGLAS PRISON . . . 1862-1865

Researched and edited by C. B. Pritchett

The South had Andersonville, an internationally known reminder of prison camp hardships and deaths, immortalized in song, literature, film and by many Union Monuments. The North had Camp Douglas, a little known civil war prison in Chicago that set records for prison mortality, hidden in lost and incomplete records and suppressed publicity. To the victor belongs the silence.

Andersonville is the National Prisoner of War Historical Site, with white headstones for each of the 12, 912 Union prisoners who died there with a 475 acre park and monuments erected by every Union State and the National Government. All of the main highways of South Georgia have directional signs to aid the tens of thousand who visit there yearly.

Look North to Chicago and you will find at least 6000 Confederate soldiers buried in a mass grave on one acre of land. There is only one monument to these prisoners who died, erected in 1895, 30 years after the war, by Southerners and their friends in Chicago and the North.

According to Dorothy Wells Earlandson, writing in Chicago's Heritage Guest, few native Chicagoans knew of its existence, you see, Chicago has never publicized its one time camp. There are no highway directional signs. We will never see a film about Camp douglas or any of the other notorious Northern prisons. The winners write the history books, and for 130 years they have been silent about their prison camps.

The Oak Wood Cemetery monument, erected TO THE MEMORY OF THE SIX THOUSAND SOUTHERN SOLDIERS HERE BURIED . . . WHO DIED IN CAMP DOUGLAS PRISON . . . 1862-65 sustains interest in the camp located near the shore of Lake Michigan. Before the camp closed, it has earned the dubious distinctions of undisputed first place in mortality among Northern prisons.

Prisoners from Fort Donelson arrived at Camp Douglas in February, 1862, and within one year the monthly mortality rate was at ten percent, a rate unsurpassed by any other prison in the North or South. Ultimately, one in five prisoners died, establishing the camp's reputation for extermination. The highest death rate at Andersonville was nine percent set for August, 1864.

Three traits distinguished Camp Douglas from other Northern prison camps: high mortality rates, extreme acts of cruelty, and a low official count of prisoners who died compared to documentation from other sources Historical articles and research texts have publicized these facts, but somehow Camp Douglas has escaped the notoriety of Andersonville. The most complete treatment of the horrors of Camp Douglas is contained in George Levy's To Die in Chicago (1994) from which some of the information for this article has been drawn. Levy was educated at the University of Chicago and he has served as Assistant Attorney General for the state of Illinois.

The high mortality rate can be attributed to several factors: overcrowding, unhealthy living conditions, ineffective medical treatment, inadequate food supply, and brutality. The war lasted longer than expected, resulting in more prisoners tan anticipated. By late 1862 there were 8,962 prisoners in the camp with fewer than 900 guards. Over 200 prisoners were crowded in to barracks averaging 70 feet by 25 feet. As the number increased, tents were erected to house them, with little protection against below zero winds. Huge latrines were left open, so rain washed raw sewage into the drinking water supply. Wooden floors were removed to discourage tunneling, so vermin infected the dirt floors. Rats and mice were commonplace. Some unnamed inmates recollecting the camp 37 years later said that they raised the kitchen floor to catch big gray rats which were made into rat pies. When cholera and a smallpox epidemic erupted, free medicine sent by the South was withheld as contraband of war. Food rations were restricted, partly to cut costs and partly as retaliation for Southern victories. When control of the camp was finally passed to the Chicago Police department, medical supplies were cut off and food severely restricted.

On June 30, 1862, Commandant Colonel Tucker was warned by D. V. McVickar, the Post Surgeon that the surface of the ground is becoming saturated with the filth and slop from the privies, kitchens, and quarters and must produce serious result to health as soon as the hot weather sets in. Colonel Tucker was overwhelmed; there were 326 patients in the hospital and many more in the barracKANSAS

Coincidentally, Henry W. Bellows of the Sanitary Commission sent a negative report on the camp to Colonel Hoffman the same day: Sir, the amount of standing water, unpoliced grounds, of foul sinks, of unventilated and crowded barracks, of general disorder, of soil reeking miasmatic accretions, of rotten bones and emptying of camp kettles, is enough to drive a sanitarium to despair. I hope that no thought will be entertained of mending matters.

The absolute abandonment of the spot seems to be the only judicious course, I do not believe that any amount of drainage would purge that soil loaded with accumulated filth or those barracks filled with two stories of vermin and animal exhalations. Nothin but fire can cleanse them. The Chicago Tribune wrote on September 22, 1862, It is no wonder they died so rapidly. It is only a wonder that the whole eight-thousand of the filthy hogs did not go home in pine boxes instead of on their feet.

Civilian doctors, who inspected Camp Douglas on April 5, 1863, called it an extermination camp. They drew an unrelenting picture of Awretched inmates without change of clothing, covered, with vermin, in wards reeking with filth and foul air, and blankets in rags . . . it will be seen that 260 out of 3,800 prisoners had died in twenty-one days, a rate of mortality which, if continued would secure their total extermination in about 320 days.

Prisoners were deprived of clothing to discourage escapes. Many wore sacks with head and arm holes cut out; few had underwear. Blankets to offset the bitter northern winter were confiscated from the few that had them. The weakest froze to death. The Chicago winter of 1864 was devastating. The loss of 1,091 lives in only four months was heavies for any like period in the camp's history, and equaled the deaths at the highest rate of Andersonville from February to May, 1864. Yet, it is the name of Andersonville that burns in infamy, while there exists a northern counterpart of little shame.

Mortality rates increased as Colonel Sweet complained on October 11, 1864, that mortality at the camp was up to 35% since June. In November 1864, the death toll was 217; another 323 died in December, 308 in January 1864, and 243 in February.

THE DEADLY DEADLINE

The Sparrow diary specifically mentions the dead line at Camp Douglas. Prisoners were shot for crossing the line there just as at such other Federal prisons as Camp Morton, Indiana; Camp Chase and Johnson's Island in Ohio; Point Lookout, Maryland; Newport New, VIRGINIA; and Fort Delaware for violating stated bounds, usually to answer the call of nature. Several Confederate prisoners were shot or bayoneted to death while in the very act of relieving themselves.

The arctic weather led to additional suffering. Another punishment was to make the men pull down their pants and sit, with nothin under them, on the snow and frozen ground. I have know men to be kept sitting until you could see their prints of some days after in the snow and ice. When the [guards] got weary of this they commenced whipping, making the men lay on a barrel, and using their belts, which had a leather clasp with a sharp edge, cutting through the skin.

A prisoner swore that when the men who were being punished this way attempted to sit on their coattails they were cruelly kicked in the back by the guards and forced to sit longer on their bare bones. Prisoners were forced to stand in the snow for hours without moving, and guards checked footprints to see if they had moved. Those who did received lashes. Some prisoners who arrived in the bitter cold weather lost toes, fingers and ears. One improvised two wooden pegs as substitutes for feet and hobbled around surprisingly well.

The mildest cruelty took the form of random firing into the barracks to disturb the prisoners sleep, shooting prisoners who moved too slowly, or hanging them by their feet to encourage them to take the oath to the United States. The more common severe tortures included Areaching for the grub, bending over without bending the knees for several hours, causing blood to gush from the prisoners nose and protruding eyeballs almost bursting from their sockets with pain, or being lashed a hundred times with the metal buckle end of a belt. ASolitary confinement meant being squeezed into a ten foot square room with twenty others, with only a ten-inch window for ventilation.

A fearsome animal came to Prison Square on June 28, 1864. The Yanks have fixed a frame near the gate (to Prison Square) with a scantling piece of timber across it, edge up, and about four feet from the ground, which they make our men ride whenever the men do anything that does not please them. It is called The Mule. Men have sat on it till they fainted and fell off. It is like riding a sharp top fence. The mule could be made more painful by adding weights. Sometimes the Yanks would laugh and say, I will give you a pair of spurs which was a bucket of sand tied to each foot. Other prisoners confirmed that men had to ride the mule in the worst winter weather. By 1865 it had grown to 15 feet tall and required a ladder to mount. There was a mule for the garrison in White Oak Square, except there it was called the horse.

A SERIOUS FLAW IN THE RECORD OF CAMP DOUGLAS WAS IN COUNTING (OR MISCOUNTING) THE DEAD

From February 1862, till all the Soldiers had left there, nearly all of the Medical Colleges in the northwest were supplied with the bodies stolen from the dead buried at the city cemetery and the appearance of the graves gives evidence of the truth of this statement.

On June 9, 1862, a difference between the Chicago Tribune and Official Records was reported, with 1,480 men unaccounted for according to the Tribune. One of the reasons was that some deaths were unreported. On July, 1862, commandant Tucker, in taking command of Camp Douglas, reported, there is scarcely a record left at camp and it will be difficult to ascertain what prisoners have been at the camp or what has become of them.

By March 31, 1863, mortality was again out of control, and diseases claimed 706 prisoners. If true, the toll in two months was only 277 short of the 1862 record. Suspiciously, there are not Camp Douglas returns in the official records for March 1863. The Tribune appears to have counted the dead carefully and indicated that the toll could have been upwards of 700.

Unfortunately, record keeping was atrocious. It seems that in the period from February, 1862, to April, 1863, about 728 Confederates were missing. This in not the worst of it. If 700 died in early 1863, as the Tribune and some historians of the period believed, the superintendent should have found 1,636 graves. Various explanations were put forward for this discrepancy. The bodies were being washed into the lake, according to the Tribune, toward the water one mile south. The cemetery was also a favorite hunting ground for grave robbers. Another explanation is that the dead were dumped into unmarked gave and soon lost in the swampy soil. By 1864 about 2,235 prisoners had lost their lives since the prison opened according to the Official Records. This may be 967 short of the true figure at the time, based on the Tribune's figures.

There were 23,637 cases of sickness in 1864, according to the study made at the time. This is more than three times the number shown in official records for the entire 700 days at Camp Douglas; August 1863 to August 1865.

Since they were not reporting to Washington, the number is sick in the Barracks, a lack of reporting deaths would certainly follow. According to the History of Camp Douglas, close to 12,000 prisoners had suffered through the bitter winter of 1862, and 1863 when temperatures fell below zero. From 1,400 to 1,700 lay dead but only 615 could be counted in the desolate graves far from camp. Between 700 and 1000 had disappeared.

On December 1, 1866, only 1,402 graves (of the earlier 2,968) could be identified. Very little care seems to have been taken in the interment of bodies. General A. Hoyt warned that close to 2000 bodies were now unaccounted for. Somehow Camp Douglas was exterminating the dead as well as the living.

THE CONFEDERATE BURIAL MOUND

Oak Woods Cemetery could have become the largest Confederate burial site outside of the South, but subsequent events made it impossible to learn the number buried there. The Oak Woods Cemetery simply buried whatever the Sullivans, (unqualified grave removers) brought in, and numbered the grave markers at Oak Woods according to City Cemetery records. These records cannot be verified because no Confederate burials were recorded with the City Clerk. Also the army failed to supervise, inspect or validate the removals. History had been blindfolded, and there is no way of knowing how many Confederates, or which ones, are at Oak Woods.

On September 1, 1880, General Bingham reported, many of the graves are sunken and many of the corner stakes are missing. There is evidences that one of the sections has been used as a roadway. The ground around these lots has been raised and improved which gives them the sunken appearance. The mound area was later filled in to the level of the rest of the cemetery.

Other than the modest obelisk on this mound, completed in 1893 by sympathizers from the South, from Chicago, and other parts of the North, there was nothing to distinguish this burial site. Thirty years later, bronze tablets were added with a partial list of the dead. About 100,000 sympathetic persons, including President Grover Cleveland, attended the dedication of the edifice on Memorial Day, 1895. Since that time, nothing has been done to memorialize these unfortunate Confederate prisoners of war, other than a small gathering of supporters each year on Memorial Day.

Camp Douglas has to be the North's best kept secret of the Civil War their Andersonville but a camp that must be identified with extreme cruelty and convenient record keeping of the dead.

64th Infantry Regiment, organized during the summer of 1862, was anticipated to be a legion containing thirteen companies, of infantry and three of cavalry. However, the command was reduced to ten companies and designated the 64th Regiment. Its members were from the counties of Madison, Henderson, and Polk. The unit served in North Carolina and Tennessee, then in July, 1863, was attached to General Gracie's Brigade and stationed at Cumberland Gap. Here most of the regiment was captured in September, but some did escape. The records show that 288 men of the 64th were prisoners at Camp Douglas. Continuing the fight with about 100 effectives, the unit served under Generals Breckinridge, Vaughn, and Williams in East Tennessee, then became part of Colonel J.B. Palmer's Brigade at Asheville in March, 1865. Later it disbanded near the French Broad River. Its commanders were Colonel Lawrence M. Allen, Lieutenant Colonels William N. Garrett and J.A. Keith, and Major Thomas P. Jones.
