….
my ELDER family, according to lore, lived 2 miles from the little
town, which i now conclude must have been Ballymoney, not Ballymena.
if they were active in the Finvoy church, i conclude they probably
lived between Ballymoney and Finvoy, which are only about 5 miles
apart. hurrah! i can now point to a map and say where they were!
now i’m off to search for info on their landlord, Lord Cavenaugh!
….
thank you again!

“NOTE: this is information extracted from “Our Family History” by
William E. Elder, a manuscript written (I think) in 1909….

“At the very end, I include family information written down by my uncle, James Lanphere Elder, to show my connection to the Antrim County,
Coshocton County and Monroe County lineage.
ELDER Family in Antrim County, Ireland
“The earliest record is of a John Elder (1) who emigrated from near Edinborough, Scotland in 1680 to Antrim County, Northern Ireland. He rented land from a Lord Cavenaugh two miles east of a small village named Bellamona. His descendents in Ireland would hold this lease for the next 150 years, until 1830.
There is no mention of dates of birth, death or marriage or name of wife. But there is a son, John Elder (2), born ca. 1690.
John (2) had two sons, John (3), born ca. 1720, and Henry, born ca. 1735. Henry is noted as the founder of the Henry Elder lineage of Monroe County, Iowa. Henry’s son Mathew was born ca. 1775. Mathew lived long and passed his last years living with his son Henry (grandson of previous Henry) in Monroe County, where he is buried.
It was noted that most of “his” (Henry’s?) family went to Canada from Ireland and settled near Quebec. So I suppose it is possible that the older Henry from Ireland may have had more children than just Mathew.
Getting back to John (3), he had four children, three sons and a daughter. They were:
John (4), usually called “Jack,” born 1752, active in the Presbyterian church of Finvoy.
James, born 1755, who became the preacher at the Finvoy church and stayed in that position for 60 years. James had two sons who emigrated to South Carolina in 1805. The author states nothing more is known of that line….”

I am descended from Alexander Campbell who married Mary Owens. Mary was the daughter of John Owens and Elizabeth Elder. Mary was from Ballymoney and Alexander was born in Kilchrennan, Argyll. Alexander died in Helensburgh where he was teacher in the West Kirk. She and the surviving children ended up in New Zealand – any help? I am looking for more information on John Owens – born 1787 in Ballymoney. I can only find a Peggy Owens born 31 Dec 1809 in Ballymoney.
