Born in 1837, he was the youngest member of the West Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1862-63, a U.S. assessor of the Second West Virginia District, a presidential elector for Ulysses S. Grant and a member of the Mineral County Court. Carskadon at one time had been a leading Republican in Hampshire County. He and his wife were strong supporters of the then-First Methodist Episcopal Church (North) in Keyser; their contributions made it possible for the congregation to build the present First United Methodist Church on Davis Street, Keyser.
