Hello all, I am trying to learn more about my husband's McElroy ancestors and other related surnames. I know that in l850 there were some McElroy's listed on the census that year and I believe that our Greatgreatgrandfather lived in Murray county prior to l848 as well but have not been able to locate him. John McElroy b. l797 Mecklenberg county,NC moved to Ga. prior to ending up in Arkansas in l848 and moved there from Ga. His Mother, Elizabeth McElroy a widow and a sister living with her were still in Murray county in l850; also, there was a couple of other familys there and they were Robert King with wife Mary (she being a daughter of John McElroy from a previous marriage) and with her was listed a Darling or D.B. McElroy who was another son of John McElroy. There were a couple of other familys that were related and they were William Stevenson who was married to a sister of John McElroy's but the sister had passed on prior to the census in l850. There are some Stevenson and Belk family connections in Murray county and was wondering if any researchers have come across any of these names and might help me with finding where they lived or what time frame they were in Murray county. There was a William Belk and family listed in l850 census and believe he might be a brother to Mary Belk who was married to our John McElroy at one time and who was the mother of the Darling or D.B. Mcelroy listed with his half sister Mary King in the l850 census. If anyone is researching any of the above familys would appreciate hearing from you and will gladly share what information I do have. Just trying to learn more about John McElroy from the time he left N.C. until he went to Arkansas in l848. He probably moved to S.C. then Ga. from N.C. sometimeabout l825 to l830 time frame. Thanks for any assistance and good luck to all in your own researches. Beverly McElroy grannymc8@qwest.net
