York County: Stephen and Samuel Elder (Origins in Antrim Ireland)
Hello,
I am looking for Information on York County Elders.My Great Grandfather was Jeremiah Benjamin Elder born 1832 or 1834 in York County, and was a Shoemaker who lived in Baltimore Md.I have posted below he may be related to Duncan Elder, BUT I have ran accross information from a distant relative about my line that I want to post here to see if anyone can help verify or add thoughts to it as it looks perhaps incomplete.I am told the following is my Line, but can not find any verification for the line.Can Anyone shed any light on this line?It was given to me as follows:
The Elder line, as presented by our cousin Lois:
Robert, b. Antrim, N. Ireland 1657, d.there.Unknown wife born & died there.
Another Robert, b. Antrim 1677, d. Lancaster, Pa. married Eleanor in Antrim 1679.He was a farmer, who cleared land & dealt with Indians in York Co., Pa.
Samuel, b. 1708, Antrim, d. Lancaster Co, Pa.
Samuel, b. 1731, Lancaster, Pa., d. York, Pa.
Another Samuel, Revolutionary War Vet., b. 1759
Chanceford Twp, York Co. Pa, d. 1850 same place.
Married Mary Scott 7/6/1779 in Presb. Church, Windsor
Twp, York Co., Pa.
Stephen, b. 1796, d. 12/2/1875
York Co. Married Susan Heney, in York Co.
Another Stephen, b. 1820, d. 1880, married Mary A.---
Jeremiah Benjamin Elder, b. 3/22/1834, York Co., d.
3/26/1886 in Baltimore Md.He was a shoemaker.Married
Mary Jane Hughes 4/13/1855, who was the daughter of
John Hughes & Mary Dunbar.Mary Jane Hughes was born
4/4/1835 in Pa, d. 11/30/1910 Marietta, Pa.They seperated and Mary took the Children to Marietta PA, Jeremiah lived and died in Baltimore.
Among their Children was Ida L. Elder (My Great Grandmother)Married William H Baldwin in 1882.
I am looking to verifyJeremiah Benjamin Elders Father as either Stephen or Samuel Elder from York County.I also am looking for any verification on that line and back as being a correct lineage.
I have found a few Roberts and Samuels, and only one Stepehn, but only Samuel in York County as a Revolutionary war vet in Chanceford Twp.Nothing else.
Thanks,
Jere Elder Baldwin
