Using Google.com, I searched for "Elder family" and "Nova Scotia"
found
at
Google BOOKS
"The History of Kings County, Nova Scotia, Heart of the Acadian
Land,"...
By Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton

Page 655 (and others) "Family Sketches"
"The ELDER family, a family unusually gifted, was founded in Hants
County by Matthew Elder, who came as a young man from County Donegal,
Ireland, to Windsor..."
