**** debbywilk,
Michigan - took out James Elder, still has correct entry for son John
(1844-1925) with photo of his grave from Fayette Co PA, (his father blank, has mother Mary Ann; However, many wrong ELDER names in database, from Franklin Co PA and others. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/1500474/person/-1276840962?pg=32810
>Looking at the Mrs. Nancy ELDER obit you have posted from Sandusky Co OH, where husband died 1847 in Centre Co PA, I used Ancestry to search for more info about that John ELDER. I found a tree which looks more correct, and seems to match the ELDER info in my files. See: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/20020255/person/884107169
NancyP asked: "Therefore, Please DELETE: " JOHN ELDER AND MARY LEEPER" of "FRANKLIN CO PA" (R1b DNA) and all ELDER ancestors above those for your JAMES ELDER (1815-1881)."
"sextonbc", has also posted a connection to Edmund's Ancestry Tree, for wrong JAMES ELDER, so I wrote comments on her webpage. "Dates wrong, not son of John ELDER and Mary LEEPER." Their son died 2 Aug 1881 in Carthage, Illinois. at http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/26325835/person/5091215339

..."Next came the JOSEPH GIST property, who was a descendant of CHRISTOPHER GIST who surveyed with Washington. The
Gist families of the county, who have been so active in business and in
the development of the good life of the area, all can trace their
ancestry to CHRISTOPHER GIST. .... "The Wellsburgh
and Washington Turnpike Co., under the leadership of CORNELIUS GIST, on
September 22, 1821, received approval of their application to the state
for funding and construction of a toll road." ... "WILLIAM
FOWLER was one of the very early settlers coming into the area from
Baltimore. Relatives of the family say he was a Baptist preacher on
Sunday and made whiskey all week. He owned land from Cross Creek to the
Washington Pike, along the Fowler Hill Road and across to the
Steubenville Road where EARL FOWLER now lives. The four front rooms of
the Earl Fowler home, two up and two down, were built by William Fowler
in 1806. His son, JOHN FOWLER, operated a grist mill on Cross Creek at
the lower end of Fowler Hill Road...."

"The Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church in Eldersburg,
Maryland is a characteristic small church of the period, with uncoursed
stone rubble construction and a simple plan. The interior is a single
barrel-vaulted room. It was erected to serve one of the earliest
Methodist congregations in Carroll County, and hence in the United
States, as Carroll County was a birthplace of Methodism in America." ..."The
earliest forms of Methodism were not originally referred to as a
"connexion" because members were expected to seek the sacraments in the
Church of England or Anglican Church. By the 1770s, however, they had
their own chapels. "

"The Eldersville Road Area is actually one of the OLDEST SETTLED
parts of Brooke County. Early settlers were moving into this area by
1772. It is believed the first cabin was built by ALBERT ELSON about
1772 or 1773." ...WELLS
FORT on Eldersville Road was built in 1772 by RICHARD "GREYBEARD" WELLS
who came into the county in 1771 and settled on a 400 acre farm. ....Other
late 18th and early 19th century families settling into the Eldersville
Road area were those of ROBERT BROWN LATIMER, THE WIGGINS FAMILY, on
Tent Church Road, THE BECKS, HUNTERS AND THE SANDERS. ....If
you turn left at OAK GROVE CEMETERY on HOOVERSON HEIGHTS (Follansbee,
WV) you will travel the ELDERSVILLE ROAD area, first settled in 1772." *** Julie Drumheller's query on ELDER Genforum: RE: Rev.
