One ELDER entry in the BANFF SEISINS - land owners microfilm
for Argyllshire and Banffshire - 1781-1868 (LDS #104164):

RE: Changing names of geographic locations --
Looking at current Google maps for Banff, Scotland, I found
that Banff merged into Aberdeenshire, so the
map reads, "Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland"
see text:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeenshire
…" In 1996, under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994,
the Banff and Buchan district, Gordon district and Kincardine and
Deeside district were merged to form the present Aberdeenshire council
area, with the other two districts becoming autonomous council areas."

TRANSCRIPT OF ALL THE MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS WITHIN THE
CHURCHYARD OF BANFF. Photos
of Cemetery, sent by Ann Elder Norz Norz
Tree
(49) In memory of Adam Elder, who died June 21st, 1829,
aged 82, and of Ann, his wife, who died April 25th, 1821,
aged 69, also of George Elder, son of the above,
who died March 3, 1853, aged 60, and of Margaret, his wife, who
died January 27th, 1837, aged 36,
and of their son George Elder, who died August 2Ist, 1849, aged
21.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."*
*" Adam Elder, although a poor man, and labouring in his humble
craft for his daily bread,
had a pride in giving his sons a fair education easily accessible
at that time, as it still is, at our Banff Academy.
Alexander, third son of Adam, thus prepared entered
the establishment of the Messrs. Imlach,
carrying on various branches of book selling business in Banff.
Remaining in their employment
for some ten years, and gaining a character for steadiness and capacity
these gentlemen urged his moving to London,
and handed him over to a friend who had bought up, and succeeded
to the great
publishing and bookselling house of Vernor, Hood and Sharp.
Here our Banff man acquired a thorough knowledge
of
London work and habits, and promotion was sought for in another
house.
About the same period that Elder commenced London life, a youth
of the name of Smith was consigned to
the tender mercies of the same party in town by the well-known bookseller
in Elgin,
Mr. Isaac Forsyth.
Smith followed pretty much the same course as his Banff
compeer;
and the two finally, united in opening a publishing house of their
own in Fenchurch Street. . . .
All the world knows that Smith and Elder have for many years carried
on one of the first Publishing Establishments in the metropolis."
(Imlach's "Chronicles.")
Alexander Elder died in February, 1876, at the age
of 86 years.
James Gordon Smith died in London in March, 1873.
He is said to have been also a native of Banff, and left Mr. Imlach's
book shop in Low Street Banff, about 1836.
He aided in building up the firm of Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co.,
publishers, Cornhill,
and will long be remembered for the generosity and encouragement
he showed to north country men when they came to reside in London
[George Smith, Sr. and Jr. were publishers with Alexander
Elder in London]

London, 1923.

Notes about Smith Elder & Co:
"The firm was founded by George Smith (1789-1846) and Alexander
Elder (1790-1876)
and successfully continued by George Murray Smith (1824-1901).
..."The Zoological Report of the Expedition of HMS Beagle "(published
1840-1848)
by Charles Darwin, which attracted world-wide interest.
In 1846, George Smith Sr. died, and Alexander Elder announced
his retirement."

Also JIM SEXTON's webpage says:

...."Our Elder family is first found in Spartanburg County,
South Carolina with Samuel Elder who died in
1797. Among other Elders in Spartanburg County,
we're unsure of Samuel's relationship to them, but
believe his line may descend from Peter Elder and Amandine Hammond
of North Farnham Parrish, Virginia." [from Lee Elder's
book]
"Our Elders left Spartanburg County in the early 1840's and
by the 1850's resided in Gilmer County, Georgia.
By 1910, after several seasons of crop failure they're off again,
this time to Marshall County, Alabama."

Mary says:
"YES! I have Samuel Elder born 1757, son of George Elder born 11/20/1729,
son of Alexander Elder born 8/13/1704, son of John Elder born before 1688.
I cannot find any info on Samuel's wife, Cynthia MacElvaine except that
she was born 1765, married 1783 and died 1820 all in Spartanburg Co, had
8 children, and an alternate name spelling (Macklevane)- don't have a clue
which is correct although I've searched both. I note that in the library
here in Plymouth, Massachusetts, there is a Plimoth Colony reference to
a McElvane that was here in the 1600's. Do you have any infomation? THANK
YOU! ~Mary Aguilar"
