Skipped chapters to download,
trying to guess where our "FRANKLIN CO PA" Elder family might be mentioned.
Looking at 1850's, because we know that "Robert b. 1799"[son of Joseph
ELDER Sr] was in Westmoreland County for 1830 and 1840 census, then in
Wilkins Twp in 1850, and wife Eliza was a widow in 1860.
RE: SAMUEL ELDER - who ran a boarding house and stage-coach stop
in several towns. Born in "Franklin Co PA" abt 1805.
Samuel is brother of Nancy's gg-grandfather John ELDER.
[John was born in Franklin Co PA,
then moved to Wood Co Ohio about 1824]
Samuel moved back to Ligonier, and is buried there.
