Rachael, born about 1811 in Williamson County TN,married Martin CONDER about 1830; died after 1853. Martin CONDER was born about 1805 in KY.  Martin Conder was born in KY about 1805. In 1850, the CONDER family lived on Falls Branch adjacent to the ANDERSON family. Names of the CONDER children have lead me to believe that Rachael CONDER was the daughter of Azariah ANDERSON. Her first born daughter is named Rebecca which is the name of Azariah's wife, the presumed maternal grandmother. The second son is named Azariah Anderson CONDER after the presumed maternal grandfather.  Presumably 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. Although there is no firm evidence to support this inference, I have drawn the tentative conclusion that Rachael was the daughter of Azariah and Rebecca ANDERSON. Rachel and Martin CONDER had the following children:

 
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 insuing 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.
