Don't have anything on Robert.  If in TN before statehood that would be ca. 1780
and part of NC.  Would suspect that he was part of the NC family that was in the
area of Edgecombe early 1700s.  I can't make a connection with them nor the MD
group yet.

Thanks for the John ELDER entry.
I didn't see any of those children named in Wood County, OH,
but I will watch for them.  He came to Wood County abt 1830,
it seems.  I'm signing up for a "First Families" search in
Wood County, so maybe I'll come up with church records
or something helpful there!
   Thanks again for your reply.

My gggggrandparents were John and Mary Elder (Wright), I think they were in
Dulphin County, PA.   My dependency comes through their son Thomas Jefferson
Elder who was married to Cynthia Daniel.  Thomas and Cynthia eldest son was
William who married Sarah Hoppus.  William and Sarah had a boy named Francis
Marion who was married to Lydia (Elizabeth) Lightcap.  Francis and Lydia
Elder's oldest son Lester was my grandfather.
My John and Mary  would have been contemporaries of  the John and Mary
below.
Anyone with info on my John and Mary?

FYI:  John Buchanan ELDER  MAY HAVE BEEN born in Westmoreland Co PA, the part 
that later became Indiana Co., but there is no documented evidence on the 
family until they arrived in Butler Co. PA, the first record there of his 
father James Sr., being in 1799.  The birth of his brother David in Butler 
Co. PA is of record in 1804.

In addition, J.B.'s wife's name was Jane WATERSON, not WATSON.  In any case 
John B. would not be referred to as being from "Westmoreland Co." since if he 
was born there, the family left there when he was a small child.  He spent 
most of his life in or near Wattersonville, Washington Tp, Armstrong Co PA.

His son Jacob who married Lydia SNYDER did have two sons, John who died at age
9, and Thomas Jefferson, b 26 Dec 1857, d 1915, buried Foxburg Cemetery, 
Richland Tp., Clarion Co PA.  Thomas was an invalid; there is no record that 
he ever married, and it is unlikely that he did so.

I don't recall the original post, but don't believe this is the Thomas ELDER 
you are looking for.

My John Elder would have been b. in abt. 1760-70.  He started his family by
the 1800's.  His son Thomas Jefferson Elder, was b. abt. 1801-04, and he may
have had a twin brother named George Washington Elder.   Thomas Jefferson
Elder was settled in Seneca County, Ohio by the 1840's and moved to
Kosciusco County, Indiana in around 1842.

Hi Ann,

How are you this fine day.  I lost all my email addresses and yours of course 
was one that was destroyed, but I knew I could contact you through this news 
service. 

I found some DeHart stuff that I wanted to share with you.  You may already 
have it, Im not sure but here it is.

M, Eliza Elder married Martin DeHart.  There is no info as to where he was 
born or anything.  THey had the following children. John, Tee, Telitha, 
Ellen, Nathan, James, Christopher Columbus, Martin , Alfred, Joseph, Dock and 
a girl named Cob.

Telitha DeHart married a Boyd, Tee DeHart married Jeptha Miller and had a 
child named Tennie (boy or girl?).

I still have not found any info on John Lee Elder before 1867 in Texas.  

God bless, I hope you are doing well

ELDER-I am leaving out the first generation because the person is still living.  We will not pick up the name ELDER until close to the end .ap
 
"Thomas Hedgcock & Martha Earls (Earles some think she was married before)
son: Minter Hedgecock/Hedgecoke & Elizabeth Telitha ELDER dau. of David ELDERS/ELDER & Susannah HYDE
son: Willis P. Hedgecocke.
Willis P. Hedgecocke & F. Eleanor MORTON; Eleanor MORTON daughter of Rufus MORTON & Sarah SHEARER; (Sarah SHEARER daughter of Spencer Shearer & Elizabeth Whitaker.
Willis P. Hedgecocke & F. Eleanor MORTON
son: Escar Vaughan Hedgecoke he married Maria Louise Trumble and they had
other children..."
Children still living....................................................................................................................................................................
 
Father of this David ELDER was a William ELDER who died 1817 in NC according to the descendants; they think that his wife was possibly a Mary. "The William R. Elder listed as one of David Elder and wife Susannah Hyde (wife)I could not locate them in the Tennessee in 1850, the 1860 census in Texas was unreadable.  Melitta (first wife of William R. Elder) must have died after this census.Ý William R. Elder married a widow, Mrs. Martha Boren.  There was a David Elder buying and selling land in Lincoln County about 1773-1795." This David Elder was not born until about 1795."I wish I could put you in contact with the other Texas Elder's.  There were numerous descendants of John Lee Elder living in McCullock County, TX and nearby in the 1920s-30s." If anyone hasÝinformationÝabout this family would appreciate hearing from you. Will share the information. I have found the SHEARER name in PA. Thank you, Ann

THanks for the info, thats probalby not my John Lee Elder, but it might be 
one of his decendants.  Do you have any dates on him?  Thanks for the info 
you sent via snail mail too.

My John Lee Elder married first, Sarah Ammons, then Cathrine Dudley and 
finally he married Mrs Sarah J Saunders.  I think you have her maiden name as 
Barefoot.  Do you know where that came from?  I would like to find out, I 
found a man named Barefoot as a witness for her at one time as well.

I am aware that in the 1980's a person looking forÝtheir link to our Elder's did have the Universal Genealogy Center in Salt Lake City work on his several different family lines. Their FGS which the UGC made for  him concerning our Elder family were sent to meÝby, the UGC. UGC stated very little information could be found in Jefferson County, TN. They were looking for published work. They requested information on this Elder family, I sent them several wills and deeds. The gentleman called me long distance and I was perfectly willing to give him the information. The information the UGC sent is similiar to the above.  They are all wrong. Within the past 18 months I have received some very strange query's.  When I gave the information which is correct, I was told how wrong I was.ÝThere is a lot more to this.ÝAnn Poe

"Robert Elder b. 1704 in Prob Edinburg, Scotland; died Prob. Lincoln Co North Carolina" No proof is shown here and NO DATE. ap
"Father was Robert Elder and mother Eleanor. Robert married Mrs. Robert Elder b. Abt. 1707 Of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania."
"1. John Elder b. 1730 Dauphin PA died Dec 1756; no record of marriage.
2. Robert Elder b. 1732 Hanover Township, Dauphin Co PA died 1790 married (2) Mary Taylor.
3. Samuel Elder b. 1734 married Mary Robinson
4. Isabel Elder b. 1736 married Adam Breaden
5. David Elder b. 1738
6. Elizabeth Elder born 1740
 
1. Elder Family (929.273 B264e)
2. Deeds, Lincoln County, North Carolina
#2 Robert and married (1) Miss Cole"  I recognize the names from PA. I have no answers to the way this was put together. "Family group entry; please send all names to Ogden Temple for all ordinance work. * = ordinance in process." I did not author this, the credit belongs to the Universal Genealogy Center, Salt Lake City, Utah. (Ann Poe)
 
Then we have Peter Elder: "Peter Elder b. Abt 1740 of Surry County, NC; d. WP May 1804 Surry County, NC wife Elizabeth b. Abt 1745 of Surry County NC: Children:
William Elder 1765 Surry Co NC
Peter Elder 1767 Surry Co NC
Patty Elder 1769 Surry Co NC married Head
Amey Elder 1771 Surry Co NC m. Casey
Ephriam Elder, 1773 Surry
Susannah Elder, 1775 m. Ayers
Nancy Elder 1778ÝSurry Co. m. Robinson
Polly Elder  1779 Surry Co m. Babit
Sarah Elder 1781 Surry Co m. Debenport
 
1. Will of Husb. Surry Co., N.C. BK 3, p. 69 (019972)
2. Deeds, Surry Co., NC. (975.665 R2b)     Family group entry; please send all names to Ogden Temple for ordinance work.  *= ordinance in process." Author of above: Universal Genealogy Center, Salt Lake City, Utah..    (Ann Poe)
 
The UGC has the Robert Elder who came >from Scotland through Ireland whose wife was Eleanor very close to Egle's history. ap
The UGC covered most of the children and then went to William Elder and Rebecca Cates?

    Hi Ann,
 
Our line is the Samuel Elder who died in Sevier County, TN. 1811 and his wife was Hannah maiden name unknown. They had Robert, Andrew, William, John, Jacob and Samuel (Jr.) he married Phebe Clinkenbeard and they had twenty children.  Phebe out lived him.  I see to recall your ancestor is also my direct ancestor William Elder and wife Rebecca Cates.  I have your email address I will send you Samuel's will now if you would like.  We know our Elder's.  This is only the start.  I had notice for about 18 months I had some very strange emails.  I've worked as hard as anyone and more than some.  I know who the people are that have done this.  I actually worked with one of them and the one who sent me this "very secret email" I do  not know but I had posted a lot of information.  I think the Robert Elder of Lincoln Co NC was the clincher, I do not know that he is the father of our Samuel Elder, it is possible. I think from all the ten pages she sent me some months ago she wants that Robert.  My whole attitude toward that is "take him please" just do not mess with my own proven family. I think it was very rude when she wrote me that she was sending me her line and I must promise not to reveal it all it I received was ten pages of names in row after row.  I will not brake my promise which under the circumstances I do not feel obligated to keep. She had no information that I had not had other than our ELDER's. The correct part was copied from William Henry Egle, M.D., P.A. books.
 
Have you been to Salt Lake City, there are rows of little shops or tiny spaces, everyone does family research.  I had a confrontation with the UGC.  They finally asked me to send them everything and they would pay for the copies, come on people, I have two huge filing cabinets, one small one, shelves in the closet and stuff all over the floor, the top of everything it is a mess. Why do they want that little group of Elder's?
 
I will be back in touch with you Ann, thank you for writing,
 
Ann P.

 This is the problem area for the Elder's found in E. Tennessee; they have been proven, wills exist, marriage records bonds and now someone has attempted to take this family without thought of the brother,sisters and children left behind.  I do not understand why anyone wants ancestors who are not theirs? "Samuel b. 1734 d. 13 Apr 1813 m. Mary Robinson Maryland
1. Robert b. abt 1775 - res. Jefferson Co, Tn
2. John b. 1777 m. Esther McKinley - res. Sevier Co, TnÝ
3. William b. abt 1780 m. Rebecca CatesÝ>>This is correct or about.
4. Samuel b. 1784
5. James b. 1786"Ý
 
We know the part in bold in not true and could not be true.  Someone has removed Samuel Elder from Sevier Co TN. and his wife Hannah (maiden name unknown) does not exist to them. #1.Robert Elder married Sarah Moore first and (2) Mrs. Mary Witt. We have the bonds, deeds and records. #2 John Elder named in his father's will, married Nancy Sullins. #4 Samuel son of the above Samuel married Phoebe Clinkenbeard and they had twenty children. #3. My ancestor William Elder and that was not changed. Which would stand to reason this was sent to me. #5 James Elder, Samuel and Hannah Elder did not have a child named James Elder."

I appreciate all of your hard work to clear any mistakes on the Elder line.  Your message is very interesting to me.  But I am confused on what is correct.

Dear All,

I have been searching for a few years for any information related to John
Milton Elder b. 6-29-1822 in Crittenden CO, KY and d. 7-8-1895 Fairfield,
Clay CO, Neb. Does anyone have any info on this person? I am a descendant of
the daughter of Olive Pearl Elder b. 4-24-1882 in Spring Ranch, Clay CO.
Neb. and am particulary interested in any family history - where the family
lived, what kind of work did they do, why they moved so much, etc.

Ann,
 
This is not correct, but it has been used and I can prove it wrong.  I will write more, but I have a new computer which just arrived, I dread going through the download and loading it again.  This PC is not old, I have had some real problems with it and I have one they call "on site maintenance" that means we will talk to you all day on the tel. to help you fix it.  I have used a Dell at work for four years and love it.  This is a Dell, I understand the problems I am having are common at this point in time, I am sure Dell will correct their new computers, but this one is less than a year old.  I can use the monitor, the key board, speakers I only needed to get a new (as they call it) "box" which is the computer/engine that makes it work.  No I am not happy about the waste of money.
 
I am going to vacation in two weeks, thank goodness.
 
I am home from work today, and came home yesterday, I have hives, I have had this before.  My manager is best described by ignoring him.  If I have them Monday I am going back to the Dr. and I do not intend to go to work.  I have the leave.
 
The hives lead to the following:  I found a researcher for Lincoln Co NC, I sure like her and hope it works.  She is in the perfect place and we talked like "old friends".  I may try to see her when we are on vacation.  It takes time to do the work, the Elder's named in the will of Samuel Elder are correct.  I have the copies of the will, his children etc.  I go to William then to Samuel and Samuel was married to Hannah.
 
I will be back in touch, we will do this computer stuff this weekend, although I would just as soon wait because of the virus.
 
Take care,
 
Ann P.

Does anyone know who these people are?

Samuel Elder and Thomas Hedgecoke were listed on a "list of names found in A 
HISTORY OF REPUBLIC COUNTY, KANSAS, FIRST SETTLEMENT DOWN TO JUNE 1st, 1883, 
I. O. Savage, Topeka, Kansas, Daily Capital Printing House, Printers, 1883, 
pg. 25. This book is found in the KANSA Room at the Kansas City, Kansas 
Public Library. The Kansas Collection Librarian is Georgia Slaughter at 
gslaug@kckpl. lib.ks.us"

I had considered that this might be the Thomas Hedgecoke who was the father 
of Minter, but Jim Hedgecoke told me that Minter's father died in the 1840s.

My great grandmother was Carintha A Elder.  She was the daughter of Rev John 
Lee Elder, and teh grandaughter of Rev David Elder. David Elder was the son 
of William Elder.   This is not the William Elder who married Ms Cates.  

David was born in Lincoln County NC.  He married Sussanah Hyde and they had

How funny, "Ms. Cates", she would have no idea what we are talking about.  I
had your information, I am just fishing for something that might give us
another name.  It fine.  I really think a solution for David will be easier?
I keep thinking he is from the VA Elder's, I have no reason.

I was just throwing my ancestors out there hoping maybe one of those "silent

Subject: [Elder-News]: Martha Elder wife of J. T. Smith

From: "Lawrence D. Weems" <lweems@coin.org>

Hi all,

Question, please.

My database is under construction, as it were, and I have a link missing.
Would appreciate some help.

Joseph Thomas Smith of Georgia married Susan Melody Mings (S is still in
question), who was born 18 NOV 1847 in Upshur Co., Texas and died 1 JUN 1920
in Big Sandy, Upshur Co., TX, buried at Mings' Cemetery in Rocky, TX.
She was my GG Grandmother, by virtue of her marriage to Smith and their son
Thomas William Smith b 17 AUG 1876 in Donaldson Hunt Co., TX d 22 JAN 1944
Big Sandy, Upshur Co., TX.

I need to make the link thru Susan Melody Mings parents.
I show her father as "Mings" with no data and her mother as Martha Elder 24
SEP 1829 to 21 AUG 1916, buried Ming's Cemetery, Rocky, Texas.

In runing my database I come up with a Mary Elder born on this same date.
There is a Martha Elder in that family, but born about 13 years later.
Practically speaking, she isn't the Martha that I need, nor could she have
been a twin and lived long enough to marry, as there is a Martha in 1842.

The unusual thing about this couple, for me, is that Susan Melody Mings
later married Edmund Eli Elder 1833-1909, who had first married  Susan Ann
Hale. Their daughter Martha Eugenia Tarpie Zoeula Elder is the lady who
married Thomas William Smith, son of J.T. and Mings.
So, Edmund Eli Elder is my GG Grandfather and Susan Melody Mings is my GG
Grandmother, but by two other unions, not their specific marriage.

For those keeping score:
Martha Eugenia Tarpie Zoeula Elder 21 NOV 1880 Siepe Springs, Eastland Texas
to 9 DEC 1960 Peoria, Illinois and Thomas William Smith 17 AUG 1876
Donaldson, Hunt Co., TX to 22 JAN 1944 Big Sandy, Upshur Co., TX married 23
DEC 1894.  Issue:
Lambert Worthy Smith 15 SEP 1899 to 12 JAN 1951
Winton Ellsworth Smith 15 APR 1902 to 16 APR 1951
Joyce Smith 4 DEC 1903 to 27 DEC 1908
Nathalie Smith 7 FEB 1911 to 24 JAN 1999

Nathalie, we find since her passing, did spell her name with an H, though
she never spelled it that way to any of her childrens knowledge.
Nathalie m Burrell Avery Huffman 24 NOV 1906 Ft. Smith, Crawford Co.,
Arkansas to 12 JUN 1977 Las Vegas, Clark Co., Nevada married 9 MAR 1929 in
Jacksonville, Texas.

Children include Joyce Dawn Huffman (I'm copying Joyce, my mother. If she
wants to make her dates available, I'll leave that up to her)
Married Forrest Duane Weems.  Issue:
Lawrence Duane Weems (that's'a me) 29 MAR 1951

Would appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Larry
