RE: ELDER surname in Fife

Thanks for connecting the ELDER name and the FIFE location.

I recognize the FIFE place names, which had lots of ELDER families, but I haven't been able to connect my Rev. War Soldier, ROBERT ELDER of FRANKLIN CO Pennsylvania." He's supposed to be from "near PERTH". FIFE notes posted on my webpages at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nancyelder/ed/Fife.htm
