Today I posted an ELDER query on Indiana Co PA Genform:

As host of the ELDER Surname DNA project,
I am researching ROBERT H. ELDER,
b. abt 1828 in Indiana Co PA,
according to his Civil War Pension Records from Iowa.
"Robert H. ELDER - Civil War - Co B -39th Reg IA
enl. 15 Aug 1862
Discharge: 5 June 1865 Washington DC
b. Indiana County PA
Died: Sept 13, 1892
buried Violet Hill Cem, Perry, Dallas Co IA"
Is he a descendant of this Robert ELDER,
of "EAST MAHONING TWP"?
b. 1790, Half Moon Twp, Centre Co PA
d. 1859, buried E. Mahoning Twp, Indiana Co PA.
His f: David ELDER, b 1752 FRANKLIN CO PA, d. Centre Co PA
His f: Robert ELDER, b. abt 1730 Scotland - d. 1807
Franklin Co PA (Rev. War)
I hope to connect this Civil War Soldier,
ROBERT H. ELDER (1828 PA - 1892 IA)
to my brother's "FRANKLIN CO PENNSYLVANIA" DNA group.
Our Rev. War Soldier is ROBERT ELDER (1730-1807), buried in Franklin Co PA.
