Edmund ELDER has traced his last 3 ELDER generations back to Franklin Co PA,
but I believe they should be traced to DORSEY/ELDER of Maryland.
Edmund's Ancestry Family Tree
posted at
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19315573/person/784287880

I finally found Edmund's ELDER families of "Brooke Co W(VA)" with
the late Donna Logan's DORSEY/ELDER family of Maryland.
Donna sponsored an ELDER relative for a DNA kit.
She also wrote about her Maryland families in the ELDER newsletter.
This DNA is very different from all other ELDER lines.
See label of "J2" by itself in the ELDER Y-DNA chart

DORSEY Book reference lists ELDER names in Brooke Co W(VA) .
From Heritage Quest online .pdf files:
"The Dorsey family : descendants of Edward Darcy-Dorsey of Virginia
and Maryland for five generations and allied families," pub. 1947, 280 pgs.
by Maxwell Jay Dorsey; Jean Muir Dorsey; Nannie Boyd Ball Nimmo
Includes the Wyatt, Todd, Elder, Howard, Rockhould, and Norwood families.
Includes index. vi, 270 p. : ill. ; 29 cm.

"In 1807 Dennis moved from Maryland to Wellsburg, Virginia,
then known as Charleston, with his wife and six children.
In 1809 he moved across the state and located on a portion of the
widow Walls farm, near the Forks, now the village of Independence.
He remained there until 1813 and then moved to Fowlerstown.

"A letter written by Dennis Basil Dorsey dated September 1834 to his
mother, Mrs. Terisha [Elder] Dorsey, New Independence, Washington County,
Pennsylvania, is now in the possession of her great grandson,
Lawrence Foster King, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Children of Dennis and Terisha (Elder) Dorsey:

..."1. Samuel Dorsey [b. 1789] came to Brooke County, Virginia, with his parents in 1808 and after his marriage lived in what was then called "Flats of Grave Creek", Ohio County, Virginia, now Moundsville, West Virginia. About 1851 he moved to Rutland, Illinois, now in Marshall County, where he bought a tract of land."
... " 6. Dennis Basil Dorsey [b 1799]
(more on page 93)..

"Revolutionary War Veteran To Be Honored"
Article Photos
"This headstone at Franklin Cemetery in Wellsburg was erected in honor
of Maj. Joseph Gist, a Brooke County man who fought in the
Revolutionary War. [Photo Provided includes name of wife Elizabeth ELDER]
WELLSBURG - It may be one of the newer headstones at Franklin Cemetery, but the marker bearing the name of Maj. Joseph Gist serves as a lasting reminder of a man who fought not to preserve America's freedom, but to obtain it.
"The monument to Maj. Gist will be dedicated in a 1 p.m. ceremony Saturday at the cemetery, with family members and others expected to be in attendance. Gist, who was born in Baltimore and served in a Maryland militia unit during the American Revolution, settled near what would become Wellsburg following the war. He died Jan. 22, 1803"....more
