Notes:
Richard Condra lineage
It is believed Richard was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Dorcus was also born in Virginia. The following information is includ-
ed here to document this family.
RICHARD CONDRA, born circa 1751, Virginia. Married Dorcus
____, born circa 1755, Barren County, Kentucky. Children:
John, born 2 April 1777, Virginia
George, born circa 1792, Monroe County, Kentucky
Elizabeth, born circa 1794
Rhoda, born circa 1796, died 1840
"I found this entry at the Latter Day Saints Library, Salt
Lake City, Utah." Carl Goad of Homer, Illinois, 1972.
Mormon Library, Salt Lake City, Utah records. Neil Thompson furnished
information, stating the source as "Family Bible of John Condra" as
copied by George Evert Condra, Dean of University of Nebraska and
Crawford County, Indiana marriage records. This record states:
John Condra(Condrey), born 2 April, 1777 Va., died 12 Aug
1833 in Liberty Township, Crawford County, Indiana.
Father: Richard Condra Mother: Dorcus
Other wives: 2nd Rebecca Alderson, md 21 May 1812
Wife 1: Margaret Larimer, born circa 1781, Chester County,
Pennsylvania
Mrs. Florence Lipsey writes:
"Sullivan County, Tennessee joins a portion of Washington
County, Virginia. In 1799, our John Condra married in that County
to Margaret Larrimore. Richard Condra lived in the right place
and the right time for John to have been his son.
Also, John Condra named his daughter, Dorcus. Dorcus married
George G. Vance in Crawford County, Indiana in 1826. George and
Dorcus named one of their daughters, Dorcus Amelia.
John Condra's only son by his first marriage, William Con-
dra, named one of his daughters Dorcus(married Samuel Melton).
Because the name of Dorcus went down through this Condra
family, it is speculation, not truth, that John Condra Sr. had
named his daughter after his mother, Dorcus Cox Condra."
Ethel Sivil of California has been working on the Condra history
for many years. Her conclusions, based also on family records and
bibles, are that Elder John Condra was a son of Richard and
Darcus(Cox) Condra. She is also a descendant of George and
Rebecca(Browning) Condra, son of Richard and brother to Elder John.
She also concludes that Richard is a son of William and Mary(Blanken-
ship) Condra, circa 1730.
Dayton Birdwell of Thompkinsville, Kentucky indicates in his 1967
family listing, that Elder John was a son of Richard who was a son of
William and Mary Condra. This is in agreement with Ethel Sivils con-
clusions.
Maxine Nebeker of Oregon wrote to Ethel Sivil in 1978, and said
in part;
"My great grandmother was named Rhoda Condra McCelland. She
was born in Thompkinsville, Monroe County, Kentucky in 1821.
Her parents were Josiah McCelland and Rhoda Condra and her
grandparents were Richard Condra and probably Dorcas Cox of
Tennesse and Kentucky. Someone said that Richard was living
in Jackson County, Tennessee and on the tax list there in
1810. He signed some papers and witnessed 2 wills--one for a
William Condra and one for a Browning in Kentucky. I have
quite a few records mentioning Richard but not proof of wife
or children, or where he came from before going into Tennes-
see and Kentucky. I think he lived for awhile in Sullivan
County in 1790 and left there about 1805 when he sold land
in Kingsport. I need proof of his wife and more children. He
had at least three children, probably more. We have:
Elizabeth, born 20 Feb 1782. md. John Garton
George, born 1792. md. Rebecca Browning
Rhoda, born md. Josiah McCelland
Rhoda and Josiah McCelland bought land of Rev. John Condra
on Line Creek in Barren(Monroe later) Kentucky, and lived
there until about 1826. This John could have been an older
brother or possibly a brother of her father, Richard."
In a separate article quoting Mrs. Nebeker:
Mrs. Vern Nebeker of Eugene, Oregon says Richard is her
ancestor, and family tradition states that he married Dorcus
Cox and had a brother named Dennis. Also she tells that his
daughter, Rhoda, was her great-great-grandmother Rhoda
McCelland and they lived in Monroe County, Kentucky. (note:
A Samuel Cox signed Richard's voucher in 1783)
Charles E. Condra, also a long time researcher, implied a rela-
tionship in his invitation to the 6th Condra National Reunion. He
stated:
"Speaking of the Bicentennial, what other family can boast
"kin" like these: Richard Condra, born 1751-married Dorcus
Cox and their children; John "Elder", 1777, George, 1792,
Elizabeth, 1794 and Rhoda, 1796---we really are a 200 year
old family----".
Now, on with the Richard and Dorcus Condra history. To this union, 4
children were born: John, Elizabeth, Rhoda, and George.
