FIRST GENERATION

1. Frederick SOUDER Sr was born about 1769 in VA. He died on 28 Oct 1843 in , Washington Co, IN. He was buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery, Pekin, Washington Co., IN.

He was married to Mary "Polly" KESNER on 20 Sep 1800 in Greenville, Greene Co, TN. Mary "Polly" KESNER was born in 1775 in PA. She died after 1850 in IL. Frederick SOUDER Sr and Mary "Polly" KESNER had the following children:

child+2 i. Benjamin SOUDER.
child+3 ii. Joseph SOUDER.
child+4 iii. Elizabeth SOUDER.
child+5 iv. Mary SOUDER.
child+6 v. Sarah SOUDER.
child+7 vi. Frederick SOUDER Jr.
child8 vii. John SOUDER. There is some question as to whether the John Souder mentioned in Frederick Souder Sr's will was a son or a nephew. The group sheet I have, indicates that John was married to Mary Morris. He came to IN from TN in 1816.

In 1839, John bought land in Washington Co., IN as John Souder, Jr. He was probably a nephew of Frederick Sr. John was included in Frederick's will.
