WINFIELD SCOTT SIMON is serving his second term as
county assessor of Barbour County. He is one of the
leaders in county republican politics, and his earnest, hard-
working citizenship has won him a strong and loyal follow-
ing of friends who repose implicit confidence both in his
words and his actions.
His grandfather was Anthony Simon, a native of old
Virginia, who for many years conducted a farm on the
waters of Stewart's Run in Barbour County. He married
Minerva Corder. They had three sons and one daughter:
Joseph B. A., Stephen, John and Helen, the latter of whom
married J. B. Dickenson. Joseph B. A. Simon, father of
the county assessor, was commissioned an officer in the
Union Army, but was never called to active duty. He has
been a farmer, is a member of the Baptist Church and is
affiliated with the Junior Order United American Mechanics.
Joseph B. A. Simon married Mildred McCoy, daughter of
Benjamin and Mathilda Johnson McCoy. Of their ten chil-
dren seven reached matured years: Winfield Scott; Tella,
wife of O. J. Paugh; Addie, wife of Clark Wood; Icie,
who is Mrs. Elbert McWhorter; John, of Junior, West Vir-
ginia, and there were also triplets in the family, named,
Dora, Cora and Ora, the two survivors being Dora, wife
of Albert McWhorter, and Cora, wife of James White.
J. B. A. Simon is now seventy-six years of age, and lives
with his son Scott. By a second marriage, to Miss Nettie
Russell, he has a daughter, Frasie, wife of John Woodford,
of Pittsburgh.
Winfleld Scott Simon was born in Elk District of Bar-
bour County June 4, 1867. His parents were poor. He was
fourteen years of age when his mother died, and he and
the other children were scattered and grew up chiefly
among strangers. Scott Simon had only the advantage of
the free schools in his neighborhool, and his environment
was the farming district. He had no capital by inheritance,
and his first means were supplied from farm labor and work
at the carpenter's trade, which he learned and followed for
a number of years. During dull seasons at the trade he
worked at farming, and he continued in this way until he
was chosen superintendent of the county farm. His admin-
istration of the county farm for seven years was a very
efficient one, and during that time the farm became self
supporting. When he turned it over to his successor the
cash balance was greater than it had ever been at any
previous transfer of administration.
Mr. Simon left the superintendency of the county farm to
become candidate for county assessor. In the republican
primaries of 1916 there were five candidates, and he de-
feated his nearest opponent by 137 votes. In the election
he defeated Shaffer, the democrat, by 117 votes. He en-
tered the office as successor of C. E. Corder. In the primaries
of 1920 he was nominated over two competitors, and he
defeated his democratic opponent, Lloyd England, by a
majority of 1,756. This was a larger vote by 700 than was
given to President Harding in 1920 in Barbour County. His
reelection is a high testimony to the judgment and fair-
ness with which he has administered his office. Incidentally
it should be noted that the total assessed valuation of prop-
erty in Barbour County in 1916 was $13,000,000, while five
years later the valuation rose to $22,000,000.
So far as his financial means permitted Mr. Simon has
contributed generously to matters affecting the general wel-
fare of Philippi and Barbour County. He was one of the
contributing stockholders of the old woolen mill, which failed
under the first management, but is now one of the live
industries of the county. Mr. Simon has never voted any
other ticket than republican, and is one of the able and in-
fluential workers of the party in the county. He was a
delegate to the state convention at Huntington for the
naming of supreme judges. Fraternally he has served the
chairs in the Knights of Pythias Lodge, is a member of
the social branch of the order D. O. K. K., is a member
of both branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
and the Junior Order United American Mechanics.
In Barbour County November 6, 1889, Mr. Simon mar-
ried Miss Cora Reed, daughter of Nathan and Sallie Reed.
She was born in Barbour County and died June 24, 1902.
Her two children are Otto Simon and Helen, the latter the
wife of Dellett Lanham. At Oakland, Maryland, October
13, 1909, Mr. Simon married Miss Alta West, a native
of Gilmer County, West Virginia, and daughter of S. W.
and Hanna (Wiseman) West, being one of their four sons
and four daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Simon have one child,
Paul, now eleven years of age.

Barbour
ALDINE S. POLING is a veteran editor and newspaper man
of West Virginia, being founder and proprietor of the
Barbour Democrat at Philippi. He was a successful teacher,
later studied and qualified for the bar, but instead found
his vocation and life-work in "the fourth estate."
Mr. Poling was born in Glade District, Barbour County,
January 14, 1867. His grandfather, James Poling, came to
this section of West Virginia in pioneer times from old
Virginia and spent his life as a farmer in Glade District
He had a large family, his sons being Elam, Nathaniel,
Perry, Brown, Isaac, Salathiel, Emery and Tazewell, while
his daughters were Annie, who married Marshall Stal-
maker; Rebecca, whose first husband was Mortimer Johnson
and the second, C. K. Rymer; Luverna, who was the only
one of the family who remained unmarried; and Virginia,
who became the wife of Wesley Bean. These children not
only married, but most of them had many descendants, and
as many of these remained in Barbour County Aldine S.
Poling probably has more relatives in the region than any
other man.
The father of Aldine S. Poling was Isaac Poling, who
was born in Barbour County and who married Elfanzine
Corder, a native of Warren County, Virginia. Her only
child was Aldine S., but the latter has a half brother, Wade
Poling, of Glade District, and half sister named Mrs. Etta
Hudkins, Mrs. Matrona Wilmoth, Mrs. Bertie Wilson and
Mrs. Rebeeca Elliott.
Aldine S. Poling was reared in the home of an aunt in
Pleasant District of Barbour County, and lived with her
until he began his university career. He attended the rural
schools, summer normals, began teaching at the age of
sixteen, and for ten years his program was teaching a term
or two and then attending school himself. In this way he
secured the money to complete his legal education and was
graduated LL. B. from West Virginia University in 1892.
Before he could secure a clientele as a lawyer his old
friend with whom he had first studied law induced him to
start a democratic paper at Philippi. Thus he became the
founder of the Barbour Democrat in 1893, the first issue of
which appeared July 6, 1893. It has probably never missed
an issue in nearly thirty years, and there have hardly been
more than a half dozen issues of the paper run off the press
without the editor's presence in the office. Mr. Poling is a
man of ideals in the newspaper business. With the usual
enthusiasm of youth he thought it necessary in early years
to be strongly partisan, and he attacked his political op-
ponents as vigorously as he boosted the interests of his own
party in political or civic matters. Gradually experience
and increasing years softened this part of his character, so
that generosity and liberality have characterized his treat-
ment of men and measures through his paper. He made the
Barbour Democrat one of the first papers in the state ac-
tively to advocate and fight the battle of temperance and
prohibition. From the first he has believed that he had a
duty to perform in editing and conducting a home news-
paper, one free from sensation and the lurid presentation of
crimes and scandals.
In addition to his service as an editor Mr. Poling has
been a notary public for a number of years, largely a
gratuitous service, has been secretary and a member of the
board of Education of the Philippi Independent District,
and has been a trustee of Broaddus College since it was
established here. He was one of the active leaders in se-
curing this educational institution for Philippi, and he has
seen it grow to be a larger institution than the State Uni-
versity was when he was a student there. In polities Mr.
Poling inherits democratic sentiments from both sides of
the family. Fraternally he has been a Mason and Odd Fel-
low since reaching his majority, and is also a member of the
Knights of the Maccabees and the Junior Order United
American Mechanics. He has sat in the Masonic Grand
Lodge. For thirty-five years he has been a member of the
Missionary Baptist Church, was superintendent of the Sun-
day school ten years and represented the church in the
Northern Baptist Convention at Boston, and has attended
many of the general associations in the state.
At Philippi in December, 1893, Mr. Poling married Miss
Lizzie W. Grant, daughter of Edward F. and Lydia (Skid-
more) Grant, an old time family of Barbour County. Her
father was a cabinet maker and undertaker, and for many
years served as postmaster at Philippi. He was a repub-
lican, and he died during the childhood of Mrs. Poling.
Mrs. Poling has a half brother, Charles Grant. Mrs. Poling
went to work in one of the local banks at Philippi at the
age of seventeen, is still an employe of the Citizens National
Bank, and is credited with more banking experience than
any of the bankers in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Poling have
two sons, Forrest Blanchard and Lawrence Edward. Forrest
Blanchard, who graduated A. B. from West Virginia Uni-
versity and is now in the University Law School, is an ex-
service man, and spent twenty-two months at Camp Shelby,
reaching the rank of top sergeant. The second son is a
graduate of Broaddus College of Philippi, and is now con-
tinuing his studies in the Ohio State University. He
volunteered as a member of the Students' Army Training
Corps in the naval contingent, and was at Morgantown dar-
ing a portion of the war.

The grandfather of the Philippi merchant was Abram
Chrislip, who, accompanied by two brothers, Isaac and
Samuel, settled in Barbour County and were successful
farmers near Elk City. Abram Chrislip married Amanda
Britton, and they are buried in the grave-yard near the lit-
tle Village of Elk City. Of their children Ervin was the

Barbour
WILLIAM ALONZO CORDER. In Barbour County the name
Corder has come to stand for all those qualities and deeds
that are significant of integrity in business and social rela-
tionship. William Alonzo Corder, popularly known among
his friends as "Lonnie," has steadfastly emulated the
virtues of his father and grandfather in this respect, and
as stockman, banker and man of affairs his personal judg-
ment is as nearly standardized in current acceptation among
his friends and associates as any coin of character can
possibly be. Members of the Corder family have lived
plain and modest lives, have done well for themselves and
have assisted others to the extent of their power-have been
useful, honorable and responsible at all times.
The name Corder is of English and Irish ancestry. The
founder of the American family was Joseph Corder, who
came from England and settled in Virginia about the close
of the Revolutionary war. His children consisted of four
daughters and four sons, the sons being James, Joseph,
William and John. James moved to Ohio and settled at
Circleville, John located near Logansport, Indiana, and
Joseph crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1838 into
Western Virginia.
The other son, William, grandfather of William A. Cor-
der, was born March 29, 1785, in that portion of Frederick
County now Fauquier County, Virginia. On September 14,
1811, he married Sarah Cole, of German ancestry and a
native of Loudoun County, Virginia. In 1814, with two
young children, they crossed the Alleghany Mountains, pass-
ing through the wilderness until in December they reached
what is now Barbour, then a part of Harrison County.
Here William Corder bought fifty acres of land for $450.
He bought this from Peter Robinson, and it was located
on Hacker, near Philippi. On the land he put up a small
cabin of hewn logs, and within its walls started the simple
life of the pioneer. From an humble beginning his indus-
try carried him into the ranks of the well-to-do, and eventu-
ally he became owner of 1,200 acres. He and his wife had
eleven children, named Joseph, William, Joshua, James,
John, Edward, Elizabeth, Martha Ann, Mary, Ingaby and
Hannah. Edward was a captain in the Confederate army
during the Civil war, dying from wounds received while
leading his men in action. His last words as he was bleed-
ing to death were: "Go on men, push forward and save
the day. I am a dead man."
Of this family James Corder was born on Hacker, near
Philippi, January 15, 1824. Pioneer days had not altogether
disappeared while he was a boy, and in a new country he
had only an education supplied by subscription schools a
few weeks each year. He was well prepared for a life of
toil and activity when he reached manhood. Remaining
under the parental roof until he was thirty-five years of
age, he was then given about 200 acres of land by his
father. At that time land was cheap and this inheritance
represented only an opportunity for hard work and long
persevering toil. He paid the price of success on these
terms, and at one time his estate was represented by 1 500
acres and much real estate and personal property besides.
At his death on March 16, 1905, he was regarded as one of
the wealthiest men in the county, and the wealth of esteem
paid his character was even greater. He was a conservative
and careful business man, and an example of his conserva-
tism is found in the fact that he took nearly ten years to
perfect and arrange his will. His old friends still say of
him that while he was slow in arriving at a definite con-
clusion he was always right and he never broke his word.
He made money as a farmer and through cattle, and he
had few equals as a judge of live stock. He had made con-
siderable progress toward accumulating a moderate portion
when the Civil war came on, and before it was over he was
down at the bottom of the ladder and had to begin over
again. A Southern sympathizer, he suffered the inevitable
hostility paid a Southern man, and when the Jones raiders
came through Philippi they ran off his cattle and horses and
took away much other personal property. He met the men
on the road driving off his live stock, and stopping them,
he pleaded that they return him the oxen, which were his
sole dependents for hauling wood. One of the raiders
threatened to shoot him if he did not get out of the way,
but he refused to yield and in the end he secured his yoke
of oxen. However, the loss of the cattle left him heavily in
debt. In that crisis he went to his father for assistance.
His father was regarded as a wealthy man, but, without
directly refusing the aid asked, felt that it would be a good
test of character for a young man still with his best years
before him if permitted to depend upon his own resources
in this emergency. The young man then borrowed money
at 10 per cent interest in order to restock his farm, and he
proved equal to the test and before long had recouped his
losses and was once more rated as a man of wealth.
James Corder married Mary C. Bond, daughter of Reuben
Bond. She was born in Harrison County, August 10, 1830,
and died November 27, 1904. The children of this good
old couple were: William Alonzo; A. B. Corder, of Taylor
County; Icy, who is Mrs. L. D. Woodford, of Philippi;
Sarah, who married W. F. Cole, of Barbour County; and
Stella, who died when in her 'teens.
James Corder was not a man to regard his responsibilities
ended with looking after his own interests. He was one of
the leading members of the Primitive Baptist Church in his
community. He and his brother Joshua built what is known
as the Mount Olive Church on Hacker, and that house of
worship is still standing. He was not a seeker of public
office, though asked many times to serve. He gave liberally
to church and charitable causes, and was more than willing
to come to the assistance of his friends and neighbors in
time of need, and he served them in the true spirit of
Christian fellowship.
A son of James W. and Mary C. (Bond) Corder, William
Alonzo Corder was born on Hacker in Barbour County,
October 20, 1862. While he has no recollection of the war
itself, his early youth was spent in the period immediately
following the war, when the country in general was recover-
ing and while his father was making valiant efforts to re-
establish himself as a stock man. He made the best pos-
sible use of such educational opportunities as were at hand,
and while he realizes now that conditions were rather hard
and that he was deprived of many of the advantages given
to youth of more modern times, he also feels that his
character was really strengthened In this school of bard
knocks, and the lessons of thrift he thus gained have been
of inestimable value to him in later years. Farming and
stock raising have constituted his primary activities, and
like his father, he is a judge of good live stock and has set
a high standard in his home county as a business-like
farmer. His homestead is frequently pointed out as one of
the best examples of progressive agriculture and stock
husbandry in that part of the state. His farm, which is
known as Meadow Brook Farm, comprises 700 acres, beau-
tifully located about three miles north of Philippi, on the
Beverly and Fairmont Pike, and at all seasons of the year
it is a model of systematic arrangement and efficient man-
agement. Much of the land of the farm is underlaid with
coal.
Supplementing his farming activities, William A. Corder
has had other business concerns. He was at one time in
the mercantile business and was postmaster at Switzers. He
became one of the organizers and a director of the People's
Bank of Philippi on September 15, 1908, and later was
made first vice president of that institution and is also one
of the Discount Committee. His talent for business, his
wide experience and knowledge of men and conditions made
him especially valuable in handling the resources of the
bank. For fifteen years he has been one of the men largely
responsible for the growth and prosperity of this institution,
and gives much of his personal time to the bank. He is also
a director of the Laurel Hill Orchard Company. Mr. Corder
is not a member of any secret or fraternal order, is a
democrat in politics, and is an active member and attends
worship at the Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church,
where his father and grandfather worshipped before him.
On June 19, 1884, Mr. Corder married Nannie R. Rey-
nolds, who was born October 28, 1863, daughter of Ben-
jamin S. and Lucy (Pell) Reynolds. Mrs. Corder graduated
from the Fairmont State Normal School in 1881. The only
child of Mr. and Mrs. Corder is a son, James S. Corder, a

Yes, I know where the WEAVER CEMETERY is located. WILLIAM CORDER is not known to have a stone, however. We suspect he is buried there, but cannot seem to prove it. I was there a few years ago with a couple also searching for his grave, but we could not identify it. However, Benjamin R. Corder and Nancy, his mother have stones, if they are still readable. We both believed his stone was one of those in the first row. My husband's great-grandfather's sister married B.R. Corder, Jr. She was also called Nancy. A copy is still available for Nancy's will (mother). We really don't know if any other part of it is yet available, because our courthouse burned in 1902, and these pages are fragmented. Please advice me further.)

PREFACE
Knowing wheather an ancestor was liable for the poll (tithable) tax is also often revealing. Reasons for being exempt included: being a woman; being old and infirm (in which case one should be able to find in the county Order Books a law making him exempt); and an occupation of clergyman or professor. Certain political jobs - from constable (at the county level) to govenor (at the state level) were cause for exemption.

Shawn:
The Washington Co. Clerk asked me to answer your letter. He doesn't have the staff to do genealogical research. Washington county was created in 1792 out of Nelson county. Nelson, Fayette and Lincoln counties were created in 1780 out of Kentucky county, Virginia. You asked for the will or settlement of Benjamin D. Corder. He is not in the general index to Sanders' Wash. Co., Ky. Wills 1792-1852. Nor is he in the old clerk's index to Wash. Co. wills - I chose surnames begining with "C" from 1845 - 1857. There is a deed from Benjamin B. Corder to Marcus Graham in Book "M", Pg 233. This is the only Corder in "Washington County Deed Index 1792 - 1860 = Grantors (sellers)" If you want more research or photocopies, our county library has a small genealogical collection. I charge $15 an hour for a long search, $5 for a short one. Turnover time is about a month.
Thanks,

*** Letter from Estelle Corder, P.O. Box 71, LaRue, Texas 75770
Since William born 1703 said he lived on Brown Run 70 years in 1792, and we know that Brown Run is in present day Fauquier Co. on the southwest west side now the border of Culpeper, we probably should use "present day Fauquier Co. VA" for birth of Wm. 1732. We have a lapse on the Corder in Fauquier Co. where no Corders can be found in the county. Where did they go and why did they leave? When the Corders came back into Fauquier records, they lived on the west side of Warrenton (between Warrenton and county line of Rappahannock Co.)
If all parish records could be found, we could find Corder marriages, but many church records were used during the Civil War to start fires. In St. Mark Parish in Culpeper Co. the floor still have the scars when stakes were nailed in the floor so they could stake horses during the winter. Claude & I were told that these men were Union Soldiers.
