Looking for information on Elder Family.
My name is Patrick O'Shields I have been researching my family history for over 15 years. My Great Great Grandmother was Abigail Elder born 1796 in South Carolina Spartanburg Co. She married Enoch Smith born 1793 they had 3 Daughters one was my Great Grandmother Julia Smith O'Shields born 1827 her husband W Drayton O'Shields they had 7 sons the youngest W.G.S O'Shields my Grandfather born 1863 .
I have a land deed where my Grandfather bought land from his Mother Julia and her two sisters. And it states This land was deeded to Abigail Elder Afterwards Smith from Thomas Elder and others. Abigail Elder was the daughter of Hammond Elder and the grand daughter of Samuel Elder.who died in 1797 in Spartanburg S,C Their names are mention in the Philadelphia Baptist Church in Pauline, Spartanburg S,C ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFULL.
