for
Irvin Cameron Elder (1868 - 1918)

">This person seems to be a descendant of Samuel ELDER d. 1847, not d. 1844.

So Samuel ELDER d. 1847 is the son of Rev. War soldier, Robert ELDER, b. Scotland 1742--d. 1807 Franklin Co PA. -- Notes: https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~nancyelder/genealogy/RobToJos1807Will.htm
