Biography of Lawrence Co PA:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/lawrence/1897/elderj.htm
"John Elder, our subject's grandfather, came to the United States
in 1802,
and settled in Slippery Rock, now Scott township, this county, and
bought a farm,
now owned by the McCracken estate, where he lived until his death
at the age of eighty-five.
His wife, who was Nancy Rose of Bedford Co., Pa., also possessed
a very strong constitution,
and lived to enjoy ninety-five summers. Fifteen children—ten daughters
and five sons—
were born to them, and all of them grew up to maturity.

RE: ELDER DNA project:
One JOHN ELDER/Nancy Rose descendant , kit (#126273)
doesn't match our "FRANKLIN CO PA" ELDER group closely at all (21/37),
and has a closer match (30/37) to an ELDER's DNA who is now living
in Fife, Scotland (kit #110746).
