      John House "Pioneers of Jackson County"
      Another pioneer on Left Fork of Sandy was Isaac Cheuvront, who came to Jackson County in 1831. . .
      Isaac Cheuvront was born August 24th, 1802, and died March 22nd, 1896, aged ninety three years.

      John Wesley Carder was born and reared in Harrison County. He married , and lived there until his older children were married and had homes of their own. He then, early in the winter of 1838 or 9, decided to follow his brother-in-law, Washburn, to the fertile valley of Big Sandy Creek in the new County of Jackson.

      Washburn had preceded him by several years, and now Carder, Stutler, and a neighbor by the name of Cheuvront, packed their rude belongings and followed him to the new West, where land could be had at a nominal price and game was yet abundant. Stutler, it is said, came by the overland route, arriving sometime in January. Carder and Cheuvront took the long way by water, down the West Fork past Clarksburg, and down the Monongahela by way of Pittsburgh, and the Ohio River to Ravenswood, reaching their new home in April.
