I found a reference online to "a palm-branch" which may have been used to describe the "Tennessee ELDER Crest"
as well as the Crest on Benjamin John Elder's Elephant Antique (Side 2).
- from "Book of Family Crests" - illustration cited as Plate 61
Published 1882 By Reeves and Turner
Indexed:
ELDER
— Sco ., a dexter hand holding a palm-branch, ppr.
pl. 61, n. 7.
motto: Virtate duce. ...

MOTTO index shows an entry for VIRTUTE DUCE:
which must be for "Sir George ELDER, KCB - Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath"
who joined the military from ISLE OF SKYE. He was actually born near Inverness.
- Google Books Result:
"Virtute duce: With virtue my guide. Elder, KCB ; Shannon ; Shand"
Also using motto of Virtute Duce: Shannan, MacShannon
Found elsewhere:
"the MacShannons of today are descended from the ancient family of McShenoig, the hereditary harpers to the Clan Donald, who held the important castle at Dunaverty Point on the south coast of Kintyre from the 13th to the 16th century...."
Currently on ISLE OF SKYE is the Clan Donald Library & Museum of the Isles, located in Parish of Sleat near the "Sir GEORGE ELDER" and family location.
