CARDER, COATES -
Have reached an impasse at researching my ancestors at James Madison Carder (1813-1891)in Bedford County, VA. He was married to Sarah Coates according to the records that I have but I have little other information as to marriage dates or place. He had two sons, Charles R. (my direct lineage) and Macon P. . Both were involved in the cabinet/casket making business and the funeral home business (Carder-Tharp Funeral Home, still in business in the City of Bedford today). Other children of James M. Carder were: Mary J., James J., Adelaide, Bubank (sic), Sallie (B),

WATERS -
I have recently found in the War of 1812 records for my gt. gt. grandfather, Asa Waters, that he returned home to Bedford Co. at the end of his term of service. I have never known where in VA he lived before he migrated to Montgomery Co. TN Does anyone know of a Waters family living in Bedford in 1814. Tennessee census records indicated that Asa was born in VA in about 1795. Would appreciate and information.
