In 1850, the CONDER family lived on Falls Branch adjacent to the ANDERSON family.
Rachael Anderson, was the wife of Martin Conder. They were married 13 Sep 1829.

Names of the CONDER children have lead us to believe that Rachael CONDER was the daughter of Azariah and Rebecca Berry ANDERSON.

Her first born daughter is named Rebecca which is the name of Azariah's wife, the maternal grandmother. The second son is named Azariah Anderson CONDER after the maternal grandfather. The first son, William James was named after his paternal grandfather and the third son was named after his own father. This naming pattern was common at the time.

This branch of the family were central figures in the infamous Mormon Massacre of 1884 in which a mob disrupted a church service at the home of William and Melinda CONDER on Cane Creek in Lewis County, TN. In the ensuing gun battle five were killed including William Martin CONDER; his half-brother John Riley HUDSON; two Mormon missionaries, William BERRY and John H. GIBBS; and David HINSON, a member of the mob. Melinda CONDER was wounded by a shotgun blast and was crippled for life.

William Martin and John Riley were Rachel's grandsons.
