Wood Co OH - Land Records Deed Index from 1821-1893                  Elder Elections in Wood Co OH
      (Windows database only  as of 3/08)

******************
 Henry ELDER (of Toby Township)
 is known to be from the "Catholic" ELDER family of Frederick Co MD,
discovered in the ELDER DNA project, so we know he isn't related.

 JOHN ELDER, Sheriff entries, are from my GG-Grandfather,
who came to Wood County from Pennsylvania in 1825.
  I should ask for at least one of those entries as an example of his work.
I have Alexander ELDER's probate papers of 1836, but not his land
records, so I'll ask for those!
  He was a brother of my gg-grandfather JOHN ELDER.
Alexander's son Samuel is buried with his father in Ft. Meigs Cemetery.

I do have several of the John ELDER/ son Joseph ELDER/ to Nancy
Sutton entries, too.
