There is a Farnham Church there and a Motel nearby.
A 2017 "PETER ELDER" reunion was mentioned online but I don't believe it was held there after all.

Others of that ELDER line are still around Richmond and Petersburg, VA.
William ELDER's WILL of 1754 mentions his slaves:
... "I bequeath to my son Ephraim Elder my negro boy named Robin.
"I Give my negro boy called Tommy to my son Joseph Elder.
"I bequeath my Negro boy named Rollo to my Daughter Maryann.
.... ."I devise the use of my negro woman Kate to my loving wife Ann Elder
during her natural life, And the Child with whom the said Negro Woman
at present goes with I devise when born to my Daughter Winnefred.
... "And my desire is that the said Child be kept with its mother till it
shall be two years of age, unless my said Daughter shall incline to take it sooner.
And the said Negro woman Kate I devise after my said wifes decease to my son
Charles Elder to remain on the Plantation & Land to him devised." —

PostPosted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 12:06 am    Post subject: "J2" and researcher "BRNRUBR" for ROYAL Reply with quote

RE-Reviewing Ancestry.com Trees listed for JAMES ELDER (1815-1881)
at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nancyelder/pa/BrookeCoWV.htm

I just realized that the alternative Tree which I posted for this one is also wrong!
I should have noticed that the researcher is "BRNRUBR" which is the researcher named for --
"ROYAL STEWART" DNA match, kit #342842, instead of the "JOHN ELDER" which is traced there.
There are STEWART/STUART names in that Tree,
so must be some connection with them.

Started with:
KarenMcMinnRunk - McMinn Family Tree
lists:
James Elder
Birth 5 JAN 1815, Pennsylvania, USA
Death 26 JUN 1881, Pennsylvania, USA

- Mixture of "PAXTANG" and
"FRANKLIN CO PA" ELDER lines:
at
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/8816060/person/-885775790?ssrc=

>Looking at the Mrs. Nancy ELDER obit you have posted from
Sandusky Co OH, where husband died 1847 in Centre Co PA, I used
Ancestry to search for more info about that John ELDER.
I found a tree which looks more correct,
and seems to match the ELDER info in my files.
See:
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/20020255/person/884107169

NancyP asked: "Therefore, Please DELETE:
" JOHN ELDER AND MARY LEEPER" of "FRANKLIN CO PA" (R1b DNA)
and all ELDER ancestors above those
for your JAMES ELDER (1815-1881)."

There are 2 "James ELDER" names, both born 1815 - died 1881.

EDMUND Lists his "J2" DNA group ancestor on his Ancestry.com Tree:
JAMES ELDER, Birth 25 JUN 1815 • Maryland, USA -
Death 26 JUN 1881 • Pennsylvania, USA
Buried: Fayette City, Fayette, PA (photo of marker)

the Other one is from my "FRANKLIN CO PA" DNA group.
"R1b" JAMES ELDER, b. 5 Jan 185, died 2 AUG 1881, buried at Carthage, Hancock Co IL

NancyP wrote comments to “sextonbc” on his Ancestry.com "BRUCE SEXTON" Tree
He has listed the 26 JUNE 1881 death date for his JAMES ELDER. (Didn't fix it, either)
at
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/26325835/person/5091215339/facts

Sources for the James ELDER who is Nancy's relative of "FRANKLIN CO PA. "
Page 48 of the "David Elder and Margery Stewart" book is posted full text online in Ancestry.com.
Their descendant is a James Elder listed at the bottom of page 48
This "James" died 2 Aug 1881 at Carthage, Illinois,
See:-
-- http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/BookView.aspx?dbid=16055&pageno=48

So he shouldn't be connected to the James Elder who died 26 June 1881 = "J2" DNA.
