I'm descended from George Alder of Prince Georges Co., MD.He married 1729 to Elizabeth Keech and died 1737 in Prince Georges, MD.Some of their descendants lived in nearby Loudoun Co., VA.Alternative spellings of the surname that I have found are:Aulder, Allder, Alden, Allden, Older, Elder.I have not found my immigrant Alder ancestor yet, but there was a Richard Alder among the early settlers of Jamestown, VA. Many Alders are from Northumberland Co., England on the Scottish boarder, and some say the name is in fact Scottish, a derivative of the name Ealder or Elder.
