ELDER FAMILY. At the close of the revolutionary war in the year 1782 Thomas Anderson and a man by the name of Cooper, of Paxtang, Lancaster, now Dauphin, county, crossed the mountains and traveled westward through the wilderness until they came to those valuable lands in Derry township, Westmoreland county, formerly known as the Rich Lands, where they erected a cabin and remained there that summer. They examined the land and decided to locate and purchase; this was all government land. Their food that summer consisted principally of game, bear, deer and wild turkey, these being very plentiful. The Indians were there in great numbers, and on several occasions they stole articles from their cabin. Mr. Cooper, who had taken up three hundred acres of land, a portion of which is now the property of James B. Patterson, gave his claim to Mr. Anderson in return for one of his flint lock rifle guns. It was subsequently learned that the reason for his hurried departure was that he had killed an Indian.
These three hundred acres added to what Mr. Anderson already had made him the possessor of ten hundred and thirty-seven acres of this valuable land. Five hundred acres of this he gave to his sister Hannah, whose husband, David Elder, had died in 1753, and the remainder, five hundred and thirty-seven acres, to her son, Robert Elder, who had lately been mustered out of service, having fought seven years in the revolutionary war, entering when but eighteen years old. Thomas Anderson returned to Lancaster and the following spring, 1783, he, in company with his sister, Hannah Elder, her son, Robert Elder, his young wife, Mary (Whiteside) Elder, and their children, Hannah, aged two years, and Thomas, aged one year, crossed the mountains in a covered wagon and settled on the tract that Mr. Anderson had taken up, located two miles northeast of New Alexandria and halfway between Loyalhanna creek and the Conemaugh river. In earlier days it was covered with very large timber such as white and black oak, hickory and chestnut. It is underlaid with the Pittsburg and Freeport vein of coal, which was not discovered, however, until a much later date.
