Surnames: ELDER, WEST, EIKENBERRY, KREISHER, McADAMS, BACON, LYTLE,
HOLLEY, WOODRUFF, HARRISON, BETHEL
An Eli ELDER [b:ca1833 IN] married Mary WEST [b:ca1835] on 1 Jul 1852 at
Clinton Co.[IGI#1985385]. They were still residing there [Frankfort] at
the time of the 1870 census. Their children were Mary, Hannah, Lucinda,
Susan, Mary, Sarah, John, George, James, and Laura.
Other Elder families included in the 1870 census are George [b:ca1846
IN] and Elizabeth, Richard [b:ca1839 PA] and Mary, and John [b:ca1841
PA] and Hannah. Richard and John were brothers -- and sons of John
[b:ca1801 PA] and Jane Elder who crought their family to Clinton Co in
the mid-1840s from PA. Other children of John and Jane married spouses
with the following surnames: Eikenberry, Kreisher, McAdams, Bacon,
Lytle, Holley, Woodruff, Harrison, and Bethel.
The 1860 census lists this John Elder sr family and also that of Jacob
[b:ca1797 PA] & Rebecca Elder. They were listed a couple of houses
apart, so I suspect that they were brothers.
I'm interested in comparing notes and exchanging information with anyone
researching a Clinton Co. Elder - or allied line families.
