Hello,
Thank you for your reply.I see I did not specify in my post the State.I must have been writting early in the morning or something.I am looking for Samuel and Stephen Elder in York County Pennsylvania.I know my Stephen Elder was living in York County PA in the 1830's, and was born around 1800 some time, give or tkae a few years.I have wondered if the Elders from Paxtang PA and Maine were in some way connected as the names are indeed very similar.I believe My family to be descended from Robert Elder of Paxtang PA, and I don't know who Stephen Elders father was, but found a refrence by a relative to a Samuel Elder mentioned in chanceford township York County PA.I do not know the connection.
At this point I am pondering if my Stephen Elder might be the Son of John and Esther McKinley Elder of York County, later Baltimore Md.I can not find any info on that Stephen Elder though to confirm.I have found that John Elder of York county had a son and brother Samuel as well, and that might be the one refrenced in the note I have.
I thank you for your reply, and hope perhaps you might have some direction for me.
