He emigrated in 1736 from Scotland.
From Wikipedia at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Elder_(pastor)
The Reverend John Elder, known as the "Fighting Pastor", was the pastor for the Paxtang congregation, located in present-day Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg. He founded the Paxton Boys.
He was raised and educated in Edinburgh, receiving a classical education at the University of Edinburgh and then he studied divinity, receiving a licence to preach the gospel in 1732. His father had emigrated to central Pennsylvania c. 1730, Elder followed c. 1735. A ministry opened when the Derry congregation split in two, and Elder was called and ordained by the Paxtang congregation.
The French and Indian War led to conflict with local Indians. Elder organized a local militia known as the Paxton Boys. He and most male congregants brought their rifles to church. After the war was over, Elder was commissioned as a colonel. Killings of Indians continued, culminating in the "Conestoga Massacre". Elder excused the killings, refused to identify suspects, and was relieved of his command.
During the Revolution, he used his pulpit to round up volunteers, including two of his sons.

Margaretta Farrand was born in 1761 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. She married Chevalier Francois de Berlier, son of Augustin Etienne de Berlier and Honorée Emmanuelle de Renom, circa 1792 at Newark, New Jersey, USA, at the home of Judge (Uncle) Ferrand. Margaretta Farrand died in 1845.

M, b. circa 3 October 1747, d. 1821

Mother | Honorée Emmanuelle de Renom1 |
Chevalier Francois de Berlier was born circa 3 October 1747 in Draguignan, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. Memos written by de Berlier and his brother about Francois' birthdate differ by a year, 1747 v 1748.1 He married Margaretta Farrand, daughter of Daniel Farrand and Margaret (?), circa 1792 at Newark, New Jersey, USA, at the home of Judge (Uncle) Ferrand. Chevalier Francois de Berlier died in 1821 in Draguignan, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.1
From the source:
The 2nd battalion of the Metz Regiment took part in the Siege of Savannah from 16 September–18 October 1779 and retreated from the area to join the army of Nathanael Greene, which it remained with until it moved to Yorktown to join the Expédition Particulière, led by Général Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau.
DeBerlier qualified for a pension because of wounds he received well before the Siege of Yorktown and around the time he took over the Sapper Company. Sappers were used extensively to prepare the gun emplacements for the allied artillery during the siege of Yorktown in October 1781. Often the term “miners” is used with sappers; they dig into and undermine the enemy’s fortifications.
After the fall of Yorktown, the Army of Rochambeau moved north to Virginia until the conclusion of the war.
One of Berlier’s protectors was Lieutenant General Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval (15 September 1715 – 9 May 1789), a French artillery officer and engineer who revolutionized the French cannon. As the senior French artillery officer and commander of the Chevalier de Saint Louis since 1765, he was certainly aware of Berlier’s award of the Chevalier de Saint Louis and the actions on which it was based.
From the source:
"The Chevalier de Berlier became a cadet in the Royal Artillery Corps June 16, 1762. He was then 15. He then became a student at the Ecole de la Fère (a military academy). Appointed 1st Lieutenant in the Regiment of Metz July 11, 1766, he left for America with the 2nd Battalion of this regiment on August 25, 1777.
On May 9, 1778 he is appointed 2nd Captain of the workmen and Director of the (munitions) park in the Windward Isles (Isles du Vent.) He is entitled to a pension for 19 wounds received in America (December 17, 1780.) He becomes Captain of a Company of Sappers - still in the Metz Regiment in America.
He returns to France where he becomes 1st Captain and Second Inspector at the Armament Manufactory in Saint Etienne (April 19, 1782) On December 14, 1783 the king made him Chevalier de Saint Louis (a high military honor - equivalent to the Silver Star.)
On June 25, 1791 he is appointed Captain of an artillery company at Cete (west of Marseilles.) He becomes Lieutenant-Colonel, 2nd-in-Command of Artillery at Huningue (near Mulhouse in Alsace) August 28, 1792. He is in command of the Artillery at Antibes June 11, 1793.
After Toulon is captured by the English (August 21, 1793) he was sent by the "Représentants Directeurs", on mission with the Army in Italy. He was discharged by the Directorate. he had 35 years’ active service in the army. It is not at all certain that he joined his post in Italy."1

"In fact, his trace was lost (by the War Department in France) during 20 years (from 1794 to 1814). Everything leads to believe that, wishing to avoid the police, he wanted to return to North America. There he discovered Margaret Farrand whose family he probably had known during the American Revolutionary War some fifteen years before. They were married by Judge Farrand, an uncle, in Newark, New Jersey in 1791 or 1792. The records are inexact. But this can be explained by the fact that an independent country had just been born and the new civil servants were not yet experts in their new functions."1
"At the beginning of the Restoration, when Napoleon fell in 1814, [he] left the United States for France. He never came back. He was 67 at this time and suffered from his many wounds. He appealed to King Louis XVIII for a pension. But his attitude between 1789 and 1793 (the French Revolution during the reign of Terror) made his request difficult. Because of this, his younger brother, the Abbé de Berlier, vicar of Saint Roch in Paris, wrote rather reluctantly to the king for him and the pension finally was granted. (needless to say, the king was a renowned bigot.)
In 1819 we find him living in his property of Eyguières near Orgon (Bouches du Rhône) in Provence. He was now Mayor of Eyguières and of Roquemartine. He died two years later in Draguignan.
Related to the important families in southern France, he was highly protected at the court of Versailles (by Gribeauval, the Duke of Fransac, François de Couzié, Archbishop of Tours.) He signed his letters "le Chevalier de Berlier" before the French Revolution, "Citizen Berlier" during the Revolution, and "le Chevalier de Berlier La Rémolle" during the Restoration.
In his requests to Louis XVIII, he never mentioned his marriage in America. This may be explained by the fact that during this bigoted period, the existence of a Protestant wife would not have helped him obtain a pension.
Our family tradition in America has not given François Augustin a very good reputation. But we should not forget that the Chevalier de Saint Louis, 19 times wounded, was the ancestor of a long series of Army officers who continue to represent the family at West Point to the present day."1
Alton Donnell's note: Berlier was born in Draguignan, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the self-proclaimed "Capital of Artillery.” It has been the home of "Ecole nationale d'artillerie" (Artillery School) since 1976.In 1819 we find him living in his property of Eyguières near Orgon (Bouches du Rhône) in Provence. He was now Mayor of Eyguières and of Roquemartine. He died two years later in Draguignan.

The 2nd battalion of the Metz Regiment took part in the Siege of Savannah from 16 September–18 October 1779 and retreated from the area to join the army of Nathanael Greene, which it remained with until it moved to Yorktown to join the Expédition Particulière, led by Général Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau.
DeBerlier qualified for a pension because of wounds he received well before the Siege of Yorktown and around the time he took over the Sapper Company. Sappers were used extensively to prepare the gun emplacements for the allied artillery during the siege of Yorktown in October 1781. Often the term “miners” is used with sappers; they dig into and undermine the enemy’s fortifications.
After the fall of Yorktown, the Army of Rochambeau moved north to Virginia until the conclusion of the war.
One of Berlier’s protectors was Lieutenant General Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval (15 September 1715 – 9 May 1789), a French artillery officer and engineer who revolutionized the French cannon. As the senior French artillery officer and commander of the Chevalier de Saint Louis since 1765, he was certainly aware of Berlier’s award of the Chevalier de Saint Louis and the actions on which it was based.

M, b. 11 May 1828, d. 22 February 1902
Father | Alexander Moore Piper b. 1 Jan 1786, d. 17 Mar 1868 |
Mother | Anne Espy Elder b. 25 Feb 1794, d. 3 Jun 1886 |
Alexander Moore Piper was born on 11 May 1828 in Carlisle, Cumberland, Pennsylvania, USA.1 He married Adelaide Cozzens, daughter of William Brown Cozzens and Jane Davidson, in November 1870.2 Alexander Moore Piper died on 22 February 1902 at the Park Avenue Hotel in New York City, New York, USA, at age 73.3 He was buried on 1 March 1902 at United States Military Academy Cemetery, West Point, New York, USA, Location XXII, A, 06.
His first school years were spent at Mr. Alfred Armstrong's Academy, and he was for a short time at Dickenson College. His last years were with Captain Alden Partridge's Pennsylvania Military Institute. (Captain Partridge had graduated from the Military Academy in 1806, was the Superintendent of the Military Academy from 1814 to 1816, and was court martialed for refusing to leave when his replacement Colonel Sylvanus Thayer arrived.) While a pupil at this school, he received his appointment to the Military Academy on 1 March 1847 by Representative Alexander Ramsey of Pennsylvania.
Captain Partridge said that he was academically prepared to enter the Second (Junior) class, which was not allowed. He was admitted on 1 July 1847 at the age of 19.2 1 July 1851 Alexander Moore Piper graduated from the United States Military Academy. He was the 1498th graduate. He ranked number five in his class upon graduation and opted for an artillery commission instead of one in the engineers.4
He was commissioned a brevet 2nd Lieutenant in the Third U.S, Artillery at Fort Independence, Rhode Island.2 He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on 12 December 1851.2 In 1852 Alexander Moore Piper served at Fort Adams, Rhode Island, and Fort Snelling, Minnesota. In August 1853, he returned to West Point as Assistant Professor of Geography, History, and Ethics, but he remained only until April 1854 when he went to Fort Monroe, Virginia.2 In 1854Alexander Moore Piper was ordered to the far West for frontier duty at Fort Yuma, California; Fort Vancouver, Washington; and Fort Dalles, Oregon also known as The Dalles. His command opened up Oregon and Washington and protected the pioneers by establishing roads and building many block houses.2 He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant on 31 Jan 1855.
He participated in several expeditions against the Indians. He commanded L Company of the 3rd Artillery as part of Major Edward J. Steptoe's force.2 After a series of attacks by the Yakimas, Chinooks and Klickitats on settlements in Oregon, Lieutenant Piper was detached to support Lieutenant Philip H. Sheridan and captured a group of Chinooks on Bradford's Island on 27 March 1855. on 27 March 1855.5 In 1856 and 1857 he was at Fort Walla Walla, Washington and Fort Umpqua, Oregon, and in 1860 went on an expedition to Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon.2 In October 1860, Piper reported to West Point for another tour of duty as an instructor.
In February of 1861, the War Department directed Lieutenant Charles Griffin (USMA, 1847), the chief artillery instructor at West Point, to organize a battery composed of artillery officers, soldiers, and equipment from the training detachment at the Military Academy. With the approach of Lincoln’s inauguration, the battery was ordered to Washington, D.C. to help secure the capital from secessionist elements. Known as the West Point Battery, Piper was among the officers selected to be part of the new unit and accompanied it to the nation’s capital in February 1861.6 On 14 May 1861, he was offered an appointment by the President as Captain in the Eighteenth Infantry but declined and was commissioned Captain in the Third Artillery the same day. He never joined the unit but stayed with the West Point battery in defense of Washington.2
He was detached from the battery when General McDowell assigned him as the as Acting Assistant Adjutant-General on the staff of Colonel William Tecumseh Sherman’s 3rd brigade of the First Division of McDowell's Army. In the Manassas Campaign, he was engaged in action at Blackburn's Ford on 18 July 1861, and at Bull Run on July 21st. Sherman, a former Third Artillery officer, reported on July 25th that "Lieutenants Piper and McQuesin of my personal staff were under fire all day, and carried orders to and fro with as much coolness as on parade”.2 On 11 September 1861 Alexander Moore Piper was orderedto return to West Point as Principal Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology. On 15 June 1862, he took command of the Light Artillery Battery at West Point and was ordered to the front.2 He reported to Major General Pope and, at the age of 34, became Chief of Artillery for Pope’s Army of Virginia. He earned a promotion to Brevet Major for gallant and meritorious service during the campaign in Northern Virginia on 30 Aug 1862.2 In September 1862, Alexander Moore Piper was detailed as the Assistant Inspector of Artillery in Washington.2
On 7 January 1863, Piper received an appointment as Colonel of the 10th New York Heavy Artillery Volunteers, which was raised and organized from the neighborhood of Sackett's Harbor, New York. This regiment was raised in response to Lincoln's call for 300,000 men on 2 August 1862. He led these raw recruits to the defense of Washington and drilled them into shape, and "out of chaos came order."2 On 27 May 1864, his “heavies” took transports for Port Royal on the Rappahannock and were soon part of General Grant's Army at Cold Harbor. Despite the artillery name, they often fought as infantry.
They served credibly in the siege of Petersburg where Piper received a second brevet. The 10th New York later operated in the Shenandoah Valley with Phil Sheridan, Piper’s old comrade from the Indian fighting in the Pacific Northwest. The 10th was also at the Siege of Richmond and Petersburg at the close of the War. From 23 July 1864 to 10 November 1864, he was Chief of Artillery of the 18th Army Corps. From December 1864 to July 1865, Colonel Piper ended the war as Chief of Artillery of the Middle Military Division.
He mustered out of volunteer service with his regiment at Madison Barracks, New York on 6 July 1865. He was a loved commander, and his "...firm, unswerving discipline made even those whom he punished admire him." The regiment presented him with a "very handsome watch, and he never failed to show with pride this token of appreciation." They also commissioned the portrait by Theodore Gegoux.2
Alexander Moore Piper was commissioned into the 4th Artillery and served as Principal Instructor of Artillery Tactics at the Military Academy, 24 July 1865 to 28 August 1872.2 In 1872, he took a leave of absence from the military, after Adelaide's unsuccessful pregnancy, then returned to active duty. On his return, unsolicited, General Grant offered him a promotion to Major in the Paymaster's Department, but he declined to leave the artillery.
He was promoted to Major on 20 December 1875 while in command of a company at Ft. Hamilton, Brooklyn. He returned to the Military Academy as Principal Instructor of Artillery Tactics from September 1876 to August 1881.2 Alexander Ross Piper notes in his manuscript "Alexander Piper" that:![Colonel Alexander Moore Piper with family.

"His ideas of right and wrong and strict obedience to orders were well illustrated during his last tour of duty at the Academy, when Gen. O. O. Howard, the Superintendent of the Academy, issued an order that no soldier should walk on the sidewalk in front of the officer's quarters. Col. Piper promptly took the middle of the roadway and walked there until called upon for an explanation, when he stated that he was a soldier, and proud of it, though he was also an officer. The order was rescinded."2
He was in command of Ft. Trumbull, Connecticut when he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, 1st Artillery on 8 November 1882. He was transferred to 3rd Artillery 10 November 1882 and was placed in command of the Artillery Regiment and St. Francis Barracks, Florida, 25 December 1882 to January 1884. He was transferred to 1st Artillery January 1884 for duty at the Presidio of San Francisco, California and was in command of the Artillery Regiment and Presidio of San Francisco, where he was promoted to Colonel, 5th Artillery on 10 August 1887. He then commanded Ft. Hamilton, New York from October 1887 until he retired at his own request on 1 July 1991.2![Colonel Alexander Moore Piper with family.
