In going through some of my materials I found the following: "Pennsylvania Genealogies", page 159 James ELDER, 12th child of John Elder, grandson of Robert Elder, born June 15, 1764, died January 14, 1827, married December 1801 to Lucinda WALLACE of Virginia. Lucinda was born May 28, 1781 and died July 26, 1846.; removed to Clarkesville, Tenn. After the death of James Elder, his widow married in February 1829, James B. REYNOLDS of Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Elder had issue: Joshua, born January 31, 1803, he married and left issue. I am not related to these people, but I remember copying this when I saw it because it indicated that they moved to Clarksville, Tenn. I hope this will help someone. Deanna O.

Deanna: James Elder was Mayor of Clarksville at one time, and owned much property. Figures very much in the history at that time. His widow, Lucy, married James B. Reynolds who was elected twice to the Senate/House of Reps. (don't have info at hand). Mr. Reynolds was an uncle of my grgrandmother, Mary Jane Reynolds Brandon. There is a very impressive monument to Mr. Reynolds in Riverview where he is buried with Brandons and Wettsteins. Thanks for all your postings. Jo in Florida...........

Jo, That's interesting information. I did not know that. Its interesting to note too, that in the pages that I copied, nothing more is indicated for James Elder other than what I wrote. Some of the other siblings had a great deal of information. I am sure that the person who wrote all of that up for the book would have been delighted to have included the importance that James Elder had achieved in Clarksville had he but known about it. There was quite a bit written on the different Elders, but I only copied a couple of pages because of the Clarksville connection. I have relatives buried in Riverview Cemetery. I'll have to look for Mr. Reynolds monument next time to go there. Jo, were you the one who asked me at one time to look for Wettsteins in Clarksville? Deanna
