Note: From the book - Genealogy of David Elder and Margery Stewart
Compiled by Thomas A. Elder, B.S.A., M.D.
Wooster, Ohio. 1905

The Ancestral seat of the Elders was Elderslie, County of Renfrew, near Paisley, Scotland. They had a Coat of Arms.
Some of them came directly to America, others first emigrated to northern Ireland, and thence to America. Probably the first of the name to come to America was Robert of Paxtang, who, according to Dr. W. H. Eagle's genealogy, was born about 1679 in Scotland, emigrated from Louch Neagla, County Antrim, Ireland, where he had previously settled about 1730 to America, locating in Paxtang township, then Lancaster, now Dauphin County, PA., five miles north of Harrisburg.
The subject of this work, David Elder, with Robert Elder, probably his brother, came to America, 1754-1760, from Louch Island of Inch or Louch Swilly, County Donegal, Ireland. His wife Margery, ( or Margaret, all the family names following appear as Margaret ) Stewart is said to have been a nobleman's daughter, to have been highly educated, and to have been very skillful in fancy needle work.
David and Robert Elder settled in Path Valley, Cumberland, now Franklin County, PA., near Dry Run.
David Elder's children claimed to be cousins of Sir Walter Scott, but whether the relationship was through the elders or the Stewarts we have been unable to determine. All of the descendants of David Elder have long ago left Path Valley, but many of Robert Elder's descendants still live there. The early Elders were all Presbyterians

Note: BIOGRAPHY: Soon after their marriage, they went to Illinois. Six years later Mary Quigley Kilgore died, leaving two young children. Her husband brought them to the home of their grandfather Quigley in Pennsylvania, where they grew to manhood and womanhood. The trip was made by wagon and consumed weeks of time, those early days affording few conveniences for travelers. Jesse Kilgore remained in the Cumberland Valley until the time of his death, which took place at the home of his brother-in-law Ramsey Montgomery. He and his wife were exemplary in their every day lives, and the few years spent together were happily passed. They were both bright and interesting, and were sought by old and young, because of their cheerful conversation and ability to inspire confidence and affection.

BIOGRAPHY: They were members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church.
