>There was another Rev. John Elder in Aghadowey, ...
in the 1720's, according to the book
"The People with No Name, Ireland's Ulster Scots" by
Patrick Griffin.
It appears that this Rev. John Elder remained in Ireland,
as he is listed in land records in 1765 for this area.
It was Rev. James McGregor of the Aghadowey Presbyterian Church who
organized the immigration of five ships of Ulster Scots from the
Aghadowey area to Boston, MA in 1718.
Not all of the ships' passengers are known, but
one of the ships was named "The Eagle's Wing."
The Scotch-Irish of Londonderry, NH were on one of
Rev. McGregor's ships and he settled in Londonderry [NH].

Was Samuel Kinkead of Windham, NH on this ship from Aghadowey?
I have seen the Aghadowey location also connected to Londonderry,
Ireland in records.
