Hi Steve,
I have more notes for that James ELDER, but not certain
where he belongs in our DNA groups.
I'll look for more of those PA files.
It would be great if you could help us with the DNA project.
Most of the Pennsylvania ELDER lines are separated easily by
using the first choice of Y-DNA- 12 markers for $99, using
a mouth-swab test kit from FamilyTreeDNA in Houston.
Orders can be placed online from our ELDER DNA webpage
at
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Elder
Click JOIN REQUEST, Click PURCHASE a test, Choose the first entry $99.
Let me know if you have trouble, or would like to request a free kit
from our ELDER DNA funds. _________________ Nancy Elder Petersen

I have James Elder born on march 15 1815 Westmoreland Co. Pa. Died Aug 8 1894 he was buried in the family crypt in Hamilton Ill. Married on May 11 1839 in Beaver Co. Pa. Eliza j Martin her father was James Martin , Grandfather was Hugh Martin Lived in Plumcreek Twp in 1830 census . I was told the family's were friends and thats how they met. So I,m trying to link James to Elders living in and around Pluncreek Twp in Westmoreland Co.. I was also told James Elder was a Captain in the Civil War and was a Surgeon. Of James's sons I'm related to Alfred Oscar Elder.. I hope the DNA test will help ?
Thanks for the links , I've read most of them.
Thanks for your help... Steve Elder |

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the update on your James Elder in Westmoreland Co PA.
We know of both "PAXTANG PA" DNA (I=Isles,Viking) and "FRANKLIN CO PA" DNA (R1b) groups for ELDER names in Westmoreland Co PA.
Because those DNA descendants are so different, we should have a big
clue to which group your family belongs.
I have more research notes and links for both those groups.
PAXTANG ELDER family has more written in the History of Westmoreland Co PA.
Some of them arrived from PAXTANG after the Rev. War:
Here's a link

RE: "FRANKLIN CO PA" group
My 3rd G-Grandfather, Joseph ELDER, came from "FRANKLIN CO PA" after 1840. He is buried in Ligonier Valley Cemetery in Westmoreland Co PA. Photo of his gravestone, with his son Joseph Jr. and Jr's wife

Hi Steve,
While I was looking for Pennsylvania Archives documents to send to DAR
with my application for membership (Approved #833222), for Rev War soldier,
"Robert ELDER d. 1807 Franklin Co PA," I began paying a full subscription to
download scanned PA ARCHIVES documents posted on PA government webpages.
So today I downloaded the Rev. War page which lists "Hugh MARTIN" as Captain in 5th Battalion, County Westmoreland, referenced by the DAR,
in "PA ARCHIVES, 6th Series, Vol. 2, Page 295,"
see document re-posted:

Now I just realized that Rochester Mills is in Indiana County PA,
and Plum Creek is in Armstrong Co PA.
Looking in Indiana County for any Cemetery starting with PINE,
I found PINE GROVE CEMETERY in Rochester Mills. No MARTIN surname
listed, but did find ELDER. These are from my "FRANKLIN CO PA" group.
see:

Also: ELDER Ancestry Family Tree by "Phafera2" - traced back to my Robert ELDER (his dates slightly wrong, but I see I have posted Robert's Will
with his dates corrected).
