NOTES: I have run across a number of people who say George was from Scotland and not Ireland. He could have been living in Northern Ireland at the time of his immgration to America and that could be how Ireland came to be his birth place in a lot of records. I still need more work to verify this information.

HISTORY: George had two sons who died as P.O.W's of the British during the Revolutionary War. Both died of malnutrition. Seven of his sons came to Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap in 1795. One died on the way, and was buried on the side of the road. One son, Thomas, stayed in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. This info came from family records and Bible of John C. Elder. Now in possession of Valanie Elder Clayton of Salem, Livingston, Kentucky. -1978- He may have also fought and died during the Revolutionary War. Did they live in York County, Pennsylvania before coming to South Carolina??
