Robert Elder, the progenitor of the family in America, was born at Dromore, County Down, Ireland, and was of Scotch extraction. He came to the American Colonies in 1730, locating in Dauphin county, Pa., about five miles from Harrisburg, and after the close of the Revolutionary war came to Indiana county with his family, making the journey over the mountains with pack horses, and locating in what is now Conemaugh township, in the wilderness. Here the family erected a temporary hut in the woods, and later succeeded in building a cabin from hewed logs, which structure was subsequently used as a blockhouse. In this building the pioneer died in 1790 or 1791, his wife surviving until April 15, 1813. They were buried in Ebenezer Church cemetery. Robert Elder married Mary Taylor for his second wife, and to them there were born four children, as follows: James, who married Martha Robinson in 1792; David, born in 1764, who married Ann Nesbitt in 1790, and in 1816 moved to Ohio; Robert, born in 1767; and Ann, who married Archibald Marshall.

Note: b. January 30, 1767 ; d. April 29, 1853 , in Harrisburg, Pa. He received a good English and classical education, especially under Joseph Hutchinson , a celebrated teacher in his day. He subsequently attended the academy at Philadelphia , where he graduated. Studied law with General John A. Hanna , and was admitted to the Dauphin county bar at the August term, 1791 . He at once began the practice of a profession in which he became distinguished, and which he followed with great success for upward of forty years, and "was eminent as a safe and sagacious counselor, a laborious and indefatigable lawyer."

During the Whiskey Insurrection , he volunteered as a private in Captain Dentzel 's company, which marched westward, preferring the ranks to that of a commissioned office, which his company offered him. He subsequently held the office of lieutenant colonel of the militia, and was frequently designated by the title of colonel. As a citizen in the early years of the borough of Harrisburg , Mr. Elder possessed public spirit and enterprise in advance of his contemporaries generally. He was the prominent and leading spirit in organizing a company to erect the Harrisburg bridge, the first constructed over the Susquehanna , and for many years the longest in the Union. Upon the permanent organization, he was unanimously elected the president, which office he held by annual re-election of the directors, until his resignation in June, 1846 .

He was chosen president of the Harrisburg Bank in June, 1816 , which office he held until his death. Governor Hiester appointed him Attorney General of the Commonwealth, a position he filled with marked ability from December 20, 1820 , to December 18, 1823 , but he ever after positively refused to accept office, although he took deep and active interest for many years in the political affairs of the State and Nation. He was blessed with a physical constitution which enabled him to accomplish an extraordinary amount of labor without diminishing the elasticity of his spirits or the vigor of his mind. He lived to the advanced age of over eighty-six years. Mr. Elder was twice married; m., first, March 23, 1799 , Catharine Cox , d. June 12, 1810 ; dau. of Colonel Cornelius Cox , of Estherton, Pa.

HIESTER FAMILY PAPERS
1750-1865

Included here are Pennsylvania Militia records and other papers of Thomas Elder (b. 1767, d. 1853), a son of the Reverend John Elder of the Paxton Presbyterian church and by 1799 lieutenant colonel and commandant of the 66th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia. Apparently after the 1810 death of his wife, Catharine Cox (daughter of Cornelius Cox), Elder left his regimental papers at Estherton, where, after the marriage of Augustus O. Hiester into the Cox family, they became part of the Hiester Papers.

In 1816 Thomas Elder became president of the Harrisburg Bank, a capacity in which he served until his death. A lawyer by training, he was appointed attorney general of Pennsylvania in 1820 by Governor Joseph Hiester, a gentleman with whom he had had occasional cordial correspondence since 1796.
