Martin Gryder  Descendants of Martin Gryder [born Abt. 1731, and died Abt. 1776 in Fredrick County, Virginia] are on this page.

My PROVEN LINE IS AS FOLLOWS;  JOSEPH EMMETT GRYDER I V, b1977 CA now at USNA in his senior year [in order to keep all these JE GRYDER's straight I number them Joseph Emmett is # IV]  JOSEPH EDWARD GRYDER I I I, b1945 Hawaii lived most of his early life in TN and FL resides in Ca and is with LAPD.  JOHN EARL GRYDER I I, b1915 lived in TN and FL, was a business owner in Miami and Hollywood for a number of years. Moved to TN in 1993 and is deceased and buried in TN. [I am his widow]  JOHN EDWARD GRYER I, b 1883 GA Lived and worked in TN and is buried in TN.

WILLIAM MALTIMORE GRYDER/KRIDER, b 1835 TN, Civil War Union Forces.  Had three families with first child born in 1860, Started using Grider in about 1879. Died in GA in 1905 and is buried there. Had several brothers and sisters of whom George Crider was the eldest and he moved to Alabama. I am in touch with some of that line. FREDRICK KRIDER /KREITHER b ca. 1800-05 in NC died after 1883 Lived in both TN and NC but spent most of his elderly years in northeast TN near Morristown. He is buried in TN I think. I have no proof of this.

From here on it is purely conjecture but it makes some sense as to generations and dates and places but I have NO proof.  Jacob Grider/Gryder/Kreighter/Krider Kriter. Living in Buncombe County NC which borders Tn with an easy hike over the mountain to Tennessee. He is living there in the early 1800's and was a Rev. War Veteran and listed as Major Jacob Gryder. He was about 98 years old and is the sworn affirmer to several RW vets who need verification of their RW service.  He is reputed to live in a very hard to reach part of the mountains and is said to seldom be seen.. Near this part of  NC is Grider"s Fort in what is now Lenoir North Carolina.  I have been there and there is a plaque erected to designate the site of the fort in what was once the old high school campus, but is now a residence for elderly.  Lovely place and the library is VERY user friendly. This fort may have possibly been used by Old Jacob but it was erected by Fredrick Gryder whom I believe to be the father of Jacob. This fort is really what was once called a block house and was built to shelter the people of that environs from the Indian Raids that took place during the mid 1700's The fort was one of three built during that time and was later used as a staging area for the men of VA , SC, GA , TN and NC who were recruited to fight the Battle of Kings Mountain in SC. ALL that I have stated about the fort and the Battle of Kings Mountain is well documented in several history books that are well known and can be found in most libraries.  If anyone wants these references I will be glad to give then to you but it will be a while [most likely fall] as my Granddaughter is being married in July in Virginia where she [Lorelei] attended Washington and Lee University.  

Does anyone have any Bible Records? You would think surely they had a Bible at some time in their lives and would have left some records of who they married and their children but to this point I have only found a dry hole. Write and tell me what you have. PBGryder@juno.com   Winter E-Mail (Snow Bird in FL)  edscrogin@juno.com

Pictures are very important to putting together the information. Let me know of anything you might have of your ancestors. I am working on the GRIDER spelling as well and I believe we are all connected even it is way back there. I have the death dates of John H. Gryder and Nancy Gibbs Gryder. They came from a family bible that belonged to John's youngest son Pinkney L. 'Pink' Gryder. Copies of these important pages were sent for publication in the Watauga Ancestry. Some of the information has already appeared conerning the FARTHING family ofthat same area that married into Pinkney's family.

The bible was given to me by a descendant of Pinkney's: a Mr. Harold R. Nelson of Crossville, TN. It lists John H. Gryder's death as July 28, 1861 and his wife Nancy's as June 26, 1850. She died Just after the 1850 census was taken. Pinkney and his wife Rebecca Pool and his 2 sisters who never married, Elizabeth W. and Sarah, are buried at Beaverdam Cemetery in Watauga Co., NC. We still do not know the location of John and Nancy's graves. But I have found out that Nancy had a sister named Obedience that married Frederick J. Gryder, Sr. Obedience and Nancy are probably the daughters of William Gibbs and Mary ???. They also had a sister Susannah 'Sulkey' and a brother named Averis. Frederick J. Gryder, Sr. named a son after him. Averis Gryder (1812-1910).

I have lots more info. and I am looking for more along with pictures and stories that might have been handed down through the years like the story of the 3 brothers who came from Germany via Holland and England to Pennsylvania. I hope you get this message and I hope to hear from other Gryder/Griders soon. Please write to me at the above provided address.  Recently received copies of the complete estate sale documents Cornelias Krider found at the NC Archives in Raleigh prove that Cornelius Grider and Conrad Grider are indeed one in the same as was thought by many Grider/Gryder researchers. We will for clarification purposes now refer to him as Cornelius 'Conrad' Grider as Conrad may have been his preferred name. The documents show that his widow, Sarah (who we seem to believe was a 'Goble') relinquished her right to administer the estate on July 17, 1819. This means that 'Conrad' died sometime in the first half of July 1819...some 183 yrs ago this July 2002. The estate papers include a listing of items sold at the sale of estate and to whom dated, Aug 5, 1819. Sarah relinquished her right to administer the estate to her son, John Gryder (the John who married Nancy Gibbs) and Philip Drum. Philip was most likely her son-in-law. Witness to the relinquishment document was her grandson Silas R. Drum (m. Mary 'Polly' Roe) who later became one of the initial settlers of the Macoupin Co., IL area. The following surnames are listed as purchasers at the estate sale: Warren, Lewis, Dagenhart, Shook, Wilson, Morrison, Drum, Williams, Eakerd, Hettrick, Moose, Moser, Gantt(?), Alexander, Hill, McClain, Little and of course Gryder.

This discovery should put to rest the idea that these (Cornelius and Conrad) were two separate people. This discovery along with the 1810 Lincoln Co., NC census entries for both a 'Conrad' and another for 'Cornelius' confirm these are different individuals. The two 1810 entries are for father and son (Cornelius, Jr.). Cornelius, Jr. is by the time of his father's death in 1819 already gone from NC and possibly in the Hickman Co., KY area. We know that he first appears there in 1822 in the tax listings.

The Cornelias Krider Lincoln Co., NC estate papers were found by Anne M. Dellinger of Crouse, NC.  So the children of Cornelius 'Conrad' Grider & Sarah 'Sally' Goble(?) are as follows:

Barbara 'Barbary' Gryder (m. James Williams)

Sarah Mahala Gryder/Grider (m. Thomas Redmon James)

Catherine 'Chatrena' Gryder (m. Hugh Warren)

John Gryder (m. Nancy Gibbs)

Frederick J. Gryder (m. Obedience Gibbs)

Martin Gryder (m. Clarissa McKee, 2nd m. Flora M. Pope)

Cornelius Gryder, Jr. (m. ???, 2nd m. Elizabeth (Johnson))

Elizabeth Gryder (never married)

Nancy Gryder (never married)

??? Gryder (m. Philip Drum)

Also discovered recently: the daughter of Frederick J. Gryder, Jr. & Sarah Ann 'Sally' Sherrill known only as B.Elizabeth Gryder (b. 1837) is now thought to be Elizabeth Obedience 'Bedie' Gryder (m. George Dagenhart). George died in the Civil War. This couple had a daughter, Margaret Jane Dagenhart (b. 1862, d. 1936) who would later become the 2nd wife of William Garner Gryder, her cousin. Elizabeth is said to have had several illegitimate children after George's death who retained the Dagenhart surname. This information was provided to me in July 2002 by Dagenhart researcher, Jerry Dagenhart of Cumberland Co., VA.

Hope this will be further help to the Gryder family genealogy enthusiasts!

I also have a book on Caldwell Co, NC (where we live ) that has the names of the men from Caldwell Co that signed up for the Civil War and it too has a Grider.  Also, in our county, there used to be a fort called Fort Grider. It is no longer there, but there is a marker showing where it once stood. It too is from the Rev war era. As far as I can tell, Grider was the proper spelling. Ms Stickle contributes the change in spelling to some of the family that could not read and signed up for the Civil War. They told people their names and they spelled it the way it sounded.     gryder@twave.net

From Reid Gryder...

I was passing through Denmark a few years back and stopped in a department store in Copenhagen. As I was walking through the store, I saw a big sign overhead with the word "Gryder" on it. I asked a store clerk who spoke English what the word ment. She could not understand what I was asking until I took out my passport and showed her my name. Then she explained that "Gryder" in Danish means "kitchenware", in particular, pots and pans. Indeed the sign was over a department with all kinds of kitchenware. As I was leaving the department store, the clerk called out to me, "Goodbye, Mr. Potts!".

John (Jack) Gryder contacted Claus Bülow Christensen in Denmark and received this info about the web page  http://www.metronome.dk/film/leksikon/gryder.html.

In Danish the word "gryder" can be translated to the English word "pots". It's plural of the word "en gryde", which means "a pot". And "the pot" is in Danish: "gryden". So the word gryder can in a Danish sentence look like this: "Jeg har mange flotte gryder" - which means: "I have many fine pots"   The text you have found is a description of what kind of pots were used for cooking in the Danish middle age.

Here is a site that has several sizes of Gryder's!
