Confusion regarding the birth year of Isaac R. Elder stems from inconsistent census records. Eva Myrick points out that the 1840 census shows Isaac between the age of 20 and 30 which is consistent with the 1860 census. The 1850 and 1870 census show Isaac as substantially older. Eva argues that the latter census are incorrect and that Isaac was likely born between 1810 and 1820 or about 1817 as indicated in the 1860 census. This logic then makes Thomas Elder a probable candidate to be Isaac father, and that Mary was the mother of Thomas (age 75 in 1850 and living with Thomas) and grandmother of Isaac. My records have been adjusted to reflect this. Additional comments are welcomed and encouraged.
Robert Doly Bowman Elder born abt 1856 in Illinois and who died in 1925 at Carlisle, Lanoke County, Arkansas has been reported to be a son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Chilcote) Elder. In addition, Andrew J. B. Elder born about 1857 in Illinois was also reported to be a son of Isaac and Elizabth. Based on the 1860 census there appears to be no consenus that these are sons of Isaac and Elizabeth Elder. These two children do appear in the 1870 census.
