Elder, John
Flinders's petty officer servant on HMS 'Investigator'. Imprisoned on Ile de France with him. Flinders procured his release in 1807 due to Elder's ill-health. Elder started exhibiting signs of paranoia - suspecting everyone of plotting harm to his Captain. Elders Ranges in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia are named for him.
