Subject: [Elder-News]: A Question about the North Irish/Scottish Elders
From: DHoward575@aol.com
Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 08:36:37 EDT
I am descended from Samuel Elder born abt 1692 in Artemore, County Antrim, North Ireland. I have been told, from various sources, that he had a brother named John Elder (born abt 1690), and their father was a John Elder (estimated born 1650-1675). Does anyone have any information on other siblings born in County Antrim, NI. I have a suspicion that my ancestors that emmigrated to Falmouth, Maine and some of the Elders that emmigrated to Pennsylvania might be related. I have seen on various websites that other Elders were born in County Antrim and about the same time as Samuel and John. Could they be siblings? Deep in Thought, David

I am very interested in the pictures you have of the Elder's. My research on the Elder family tree does include a John Elder born in Antrim, Ireland and immigrated in about 1804 to Virginia. He settled in Ohio. I know that his father was also John Elder. My John Elder had a son who was a Medical Doctor. ---------- > From: DHoward575@aol.com > To: elder-news@intrepid.net > Subject: [Elder-News]: Elder Pictures > Date: Wednesday, July 29, 1998 7:38 PM > > I have a few pictures of Elders that I will be happy to send to anyone > interested via email.

Hi David, Sorry I can't answer your questions about county Atrium in Ireland. The only Ireland records I have researched were in Templemore, Londonderry where some Elders were located in late 1600s & early 1700s. A Mathew Elder s/o Andrew Elder & Ann Riply was born in Templemore in 1703 and he could be my Mathew Elder who went to Pa then to VA where he died in Washington Co iun 1783. No proof so can only speculate. Good luck. Joyce J. Slaton

Hi David, John Elder (IV) (1756-1843) birthplace ? and Mary Elder (married a cousin) Son, John Elder b Nov 13, 1783, Antrim, Ireland. Married Margaret Gray in Londonderry, Ireland Immigrated in 1804 to Virginia, then to Ohio Sons included a John and Samuel. Usually they named their sons after relatives so maybe this could be part of your family tree. Maybe the John Elder you are seeking was the first in a line of five John Elder's. \- > I am descended from Samuel Elder born abt 1692 in Artemore, County Antrim, > North Ireland.

ELDER- John V. Hollingsworth, GR, Chadds Ford, Penn., Sept. 1973---"The TAYLORS are all over the place - can you narrow this down. There are several Quaker meetings in Lancaster county, Lancaster, Sadsbury, Columbia, Lampeter, River, East Sadsbury, Bart, Little Elk, Little Britain, Eastland, Drumore & Fawn. Two ELDERS left wills in Lancaster county. John ELDER died 1757, Will Book B.151, and Thomas ELDER, 1752, Will Book J.1.45. Then there are two ELDERS that died without leaving a will - David ELDER died 1764 and Preston B. ELDER who died in 1840. One of these may be the father to your Robert. There are five Robert ELDERS in the 1790 census of Penna. Robert of Dauphin county, himself and 3 females; Robert ELDER, Franklin county, himself, 3 males under 16 and two females. Robert ELDER, Westmoreland county, himself, one male under 16 & 2 females. Robert ELDER, same county as above, Terry Twp. 1.1.2. I suspect your Robert may be one of the two Roberts in Westmoreland county, and ELDER'S RIDGE, Penna. in that county."

Dear Nancy and Harry,
There are several of us who are looking for parents of Margaret
"Peggy" Elder of Toby who married 1825 to George Buzzard in Clarion Co.
The marriage was listed in the abstracts of the Kittanning Gazette,
Kittanning, Armstrong Co, PA. Peggy has been a mystery for over 10 years
of our searching. There are several theories about her. 1) daughter of
William Elder 2) daughter of Samuel or granddaughter 3) one thought is
that her maiden name is Mong and that she married an Elder. She was born
about 1807. She is not the daughter of John Elder and Catherine Buchanan.
She is listed in the 1850 census with George and family, but not in 1860.
In George's will in 1865 he mentions wife, Mary, but it is not known if
this is second wife or another name for Peggy. If you should find anything
about her, there are many who would thank you. Also if you happen to know
anything about a William Freeman with a daughter, Mary, she had a son
James who married Peggy and George's daughter, Rachel. James' father was
Henry Wurts, but he never married Mary. James was raised at his
grandfather's and was called James Freeman. (at some point he did know his
father, because his pension file says that when he was with his father in
Ohio he went by James Wurts. His pension file shows name James Wurts
Freeman. Thanks for any assistance.

Faye addressed Part IV of the SAR Application...I wanted to answer on the ELDER - News I intended no confusion to anyone, I am aware that these ELDER'S on the SAR App. were not from Bedford Co., Penn. The younger ones were already living in Jefferson Co., TN and Meigs Co., TN. This Rev War service must belong to someone? The William ELDER & Robert ELDER were brothers-the others were descendants of Robert ELDER who had moved to Meigs Co., TN. when the Hiawassee lands opened and the property was "open sell". The names are of one family line, but do not go to Bedford Co. PA. So sorry if I confused anyone.

The year of graduation is posted with first names. My grandfather is Miles Macon Elder....in school went by Macon only. Later in life due to his having travelled the world, added MILES as his first name. What a guy....I love travel and have been just about everywhere and can't keep my dad Vernon Elder down either.

Susan, The Atchley Family History was last published in 1965. It is a wonderful book. If you will contact book dealers and locate those who deal in genealogy books you will probably find one. I knew two but they were at home, Knoxville and both have retired. I had a name of a man in Rogersville, TN. but I cannot locate it. I think that Amazon books has a search program, I contacted them under genealogy, once I made it through that area I could list a book/books I was looking for. I do not know how many list you are on, but you might want to try some of those lists. I know one the authors, or did know her, I do not think we should mention her, she was at the University of Tenn. a couple of years before my husband. She was a beauty queen, and had the brains to go with it, a very sweet person. I do not know her husband, but maybe I can find out. I will try.

Sorry I didn't make that clear. Clarion Co. is in PA. I don't know if he was born there or not. Time frame of birth would be about right. I need to get to the full census records on him.(All I have so far an index). Clarion County PA is so full of Elder genealogy that someone may have existing history on George Elder.

My first time on this list. Here is my Elder History: Mother Dorothy Jeane (Elder) Wilson Grandparents Lester Elder, b. September 7, 1882 in Claypool, Koskiusko County, Indiana, d. September 3, 1955 in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Married to Anna Blanche Rowe in about 1919. Great Grandparents, Francis Marion Elder, b. October 11, 1855 in Claypool, Koskiusko County, Indiana, d. January 1, 1940. Married to Lydia Lightcap, b. November 21, 1861. Grandfather's siblings were: Ray, b. October 20, 1884; Irvie, b. January 2, 1887; and Aldie Goldie, b. September 5, 1989. Great Great Grandparents, William Elder, b. abt. 1826 in Ohio, d. July 25, 1904 in Koskiusko County, Indiana, reported to be buried in Center Line Cemetary, Lake Township, Koskiusko County, Indiana. William was married to Sarah Hoppis, b. December 13, 1832, d. May 20, 1901 in Koskiusko County Indiana, reported to be buried with William. Francis Marion's siblings were: Atwood; Cynthia; Elmer; Hilda; Lennie E.; Ola; and Eli, b. 1863. These Elders ring any bells. I know little about them outside of my mother (d. 1996) and my grandfather (namesake Lester) who died one day after my 8th birthday. Look forward to communicating with some other Elders.

His wife's name was Ellen Elvina SHAFFER, b 12 Dec 1831, Lehigh Co PA, d/o Charles P & Saloma (SHANER) SHAFFER. She died of cancer in Mar 1891, Clarington. George was the s/o William Parker ELDER and his wife Mary "Polly" BARR, d/o Henry & Sarah (ELDER) BARR. William was s/o James ELDER, Sr., and his first wife, Catherine BUCHANAN.

Hi again, There are a lot of coincidences with my family. But I don't think they are the same unless there is a distant connection. My first Rev. William Elder came from NC to Sangamon Co., Illinois between 1820-1830. His son, William Elder born 1824 in NC married a Mary Catherine Sweem in Springfield in 1842. This William Elder ended up in Crawford/Richland County Wisconsin by 1850. (After a side trip to Marion Co., Iowa) This William Elder's brother was Elam Elder who settled in Dane Co., Wisconsin. This same William and Mary Catherine Sweem had a son named John W., Marion Frances Elder (died young), Andrew J. (my line), Franklin. William had other children as well, with another wife. Some names include Polly, James, Benjamin, Ester. As you see, there are many coincidences. I do not know if the Rev. William Elder from Iredell Co., NC traveled to Ohio or not. I don't think so. These Elder's were connected with the United Brethren Church of Christ and probably a Methodist denomination. Coincidences? Good luck in your search. There is an Elder family gen page. You might have luck searching there. Rebecca Bangsund rlaneb1@aol.com

My Joseph Elder was the son of William Elder and Mary Akers. Joseph was born July 26, 1757 in Maine. He married Hannah Connant January 1, 1781, and they had at least twin sons named Samuel Tynge and John. Jospeh married Ann Morrill on May 1, 1788. I do not know what happened to Hannah. Did she die while giving birth or did she divorce Joseph? I suspect death. I need death information for Joseph and Hannah, birth and death information for Ann, and any other children by Hannah or Ann. Thanks David

Joshua was married to a Joanna Roberts on December 16, 1784. Joshua was a Revolutionary War Soldier. Joshua and Joanna's children were: 1. William born 28 June 1785 d 9 July 1823 Married Sarah Bates 2. Charles born 19 Sept 1788 3. Richard born 21 Sept 1793 died 21 Mar 1849 married ?Roxanna 4. Joshua born 10 Apr 1798 died 5 Jul 1879 married Phebe B. Day 5. Joanna born 23 Apr 1809 died Mar 1892 married Levi Leathers I have information on the above children's offspring if anyone is interested. I need information on Joshua's parents. My Elder ancestry is from Maine. I am also looking for information regarding the children of Joseph Elder born 26 Jul 1757 in Maine. He was the son of William Elder born abt 1726 in Antrim County, N.Ireland. Joseph married Hannah Connant (Conant), and they had at least twin sons named Samuel and John. I suspect that Hannah died either during the birth or shortly after because Jospeh married an Ann Morrill in 1788 and Hannah's twins were born in 1784. Thanks, David P.S.

We took our drying to my son's and his wife (some switch); played with the new, beautiful puppy, came rushing in to feed our not so young puppy and she could smell the new puppy and was displeased with me. All in all it has not be a day that lended itself to research, it is also horribly hot. Joseph Elder and wife were in Tenn., I have copies of two land grants (I think they are grants if not deeds). Mrs. Virginia Knight Nelson wrote a book about 1986, "First Families of East Tennessee" this book is about the Samuel Elder family who came to Tennessee prior to TN. becoming a state and all his children. Virginia covers most of the Elder's found in Tenn., which was confusing a first. Many did come to Tenn. passing through, some remaining. I will extract what she has in her book about Joseph Elder if I cannot locate those deeds in the next couple of days. Page 28 - "6 August 1785 Joseph ELDER - Elizabeth Stoarch (Stark?) by Thomas Woolsey. "Washington County Abstracts Vol. 34 Washington County Register 1782-1820" by Abstracted by Beverley Fleet 1985. Published by Southern Historical Press, Inc. c/o The Rev Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., P. O. Box 738, Easley, SC 29641-0783 ( this book is available again through Hearthstone in VA. and probably Rev Lucas). Ms. Fleet gives the historical explanation of what happened to the marriage records, as well as trying to "wade through the way these were written" Washington Co VA was created in 1777 from Fincastle Co, from Botetourt Co. 1770 from Augusta Co., VA. 1745. aebp "5 Decr 1797 - James Elder - Sarah Rusk by Edward Crawford" (James was the son of Matthew Elder and Mary probably Mary Kincannon; Matthew came through part of PA, through Chester (actually Charles Co), York Co. into Botetourt Co. and he died 1783 in Washington Co VA.)aebp "__ ___ ____ - James JAMISON - Sarah ELDER by Nicholoas Reagan." Sarah was also a daughter of Matthew Elder. I found the date of their marriage, 24 May, 1785. I hope this will help a little, and I will look for the grants, let me know if you have any other clue to your Joseph Elder I will see if I have "gathered more". Joseph ELDER was not a brother of Matthew ELDER.

Joseph ELDER, I did post his marriage and explain the book by Beverley Fleet. I have not had time to get the other material out, I will. I still work..time is a luxury. I promise to get back to you, I had an appointment tonight, a class Thursday and another appointment Friday evening. None of which I am looking forward to. I promise I will get back to you. Don't any of you go buy the book unless you are looking for others in VA. I will be glad to share that with you.
