Viola Marie ELDER, b. 25 Apr 1904 Stonington, BACA, CO, d. 29 Apr 2000 Walsh, BACA, CO.

IVON b. 28 Mar 1918, Alvon, b. 03 Nov 1919, Dorothy, b. 06 Jul 1922.
Ancestry.com (WorldConnect) says Clair was born Girard, CRAWFORD, KS, Viola thru Ruby born in Springfield, BACA, CO
--- but actually Stonington.  (Springfield is county seat, and Stonington is extinct but about five miles from Walsh).

>Viola's parents were:

Bertha Pearl b. 15 Jul 1877, Ada Alzada b. 18 Aug 1891, Curtis b. 15 Nov 1874, Edwin Arthur b. 03 Dec 1885.
(Some of these were said born in Englevale, CRAWFORD, some at Girard, some only in CRAWFORD County.

From here on, source is WorldConnect.
Curtis's parents were

m. 22 Aug 1872 CRAWFORD, KS Lydia KONKEL, b. 18 Jun 1850 ADAMS, IN.
Lewis was one of eight known children:  Harriet b. abt 1850 BEDFORD, PA, Ellen b. 1846
[said to be GUERNSEY, OH, but this is dubious], Amanda b. 1844, place not said,
John b. 1847 place not said, Joseph b. 1848 Cumberland Valley, BEDFORD, PA,
Albin Richard b. 04 Jan 1848 Centerville, PA, Lewis  b. and d. as above,

Lewis's parents were:

John was one of ten known children, all born in BEDFORD, PA:  Sarah b. abt 1802, Rebecca b. abt 1804,

m. Sarah WORLEY b. abt 1798 BEDFORD, PA, d. 31 Jul 1828 BEDFORD, PA.
 WorldConnect shows only James as child of
George ELDER b. ab 1751 BEDFORD, PA and Sarah VOGAN b. abt 1755 Union Green, BEDFORD, PA.

Might this line be kin to you?  Dave.

***
YES!! Descendants of GEORGE ELDER and SARAH VOGAN are DNA matches to my brother (Y-DNA kit #10042)
We haven't  yet found a document to prove the relationship, possibly a brother,
to our Rev. War Soldier, Robert ELDER, who died in 1807, Franklin Co PA.
I would love to find their origins in Scotland!
