I am researching the McElroy/McAlroy branch of my family tree. Any assistance or information would be greatly appreciated.

a previous researcher had said in his notes that this McEleroy family came from Greene County, NY. I found a Jonathan MCElroy there before 1820, who was a blacksmith. William John McElroy was noted for his foundry work in Macon, Bibb County, GA, and was recognized for a gun that he built for use by the confederacy. I am interested in finding more info and connections to this McElroy group. WILLIAM JOHN1 MCELROY was born Abt. 1820 in Greene County, NY, and died in Macon , Bibb County, GA. He married EASTER FREENY December 27, 1849 in Macon, Bibb County, GA. Children of WILLIAM MCELROY and EASTER FREENY are: i. JULIETTE FERRIS2 MCELROY, b. December 13, 1854, Macon, Bibb County, GA; d. June 09, 1927, Macon, Bibb County, GA; m. WILLIAM ELIHU SHERWOOD, March 20, 1879, Macon, Bibb County, GA1. ii. CHARLES IRWIN MCELROY, b. BIbb Co GA; d. September 12, 1909, Bibb Co GA; m.

I have been working on this line for about nine years now with no luck. This is my line below - note that my McElroys are in the Boston area and I notice that most of you have lines that generate from anyplace but Mass. I am looking for Benjamin's parents and grandparents. 1. Benjamin McElroy b: Abt. 1780 d: 09 October 1813 - Boston, MA : m Lydia Davenport 01 May 1803 in Dorchester, MA 2. Samuel Davenport McElroy b: March 1804 d: 11 August 1849 - Dorchester: m Hannah Holden Cushing 14 September 1825 Dorchester 3. Lucy Hannah McElroy b: 26 August 1826 d: 06 November 1904 Dorchester: m John Brackett Rumery 04 June 1846 in Dorchester, MA Benjamin was a harness maker by trade and lived on Mason St in Boston. Have had absolutely no luck and he is a 'brick wall' for me. Benjamin's father may have also been named Benjamin and may have served during the Revolution as a Private. However, National Archives could not locate his records. I believe McElroy is a hard name to trace in New England. I found an Agnis and Robert McElroy that I have listed below who would have been in Boston in the 1600-1700's. I have been unable to find any further records on them, but I do believe that they are related in some way to my Benjamin. Records of South Church, Dedham MA April 20, 1748 - Died Agnis McElroy the wife of Robert McElroy, aged about 70 years (pg 163) This would make her birthdate about 1678 August 26, 1758 Died Robert McElroy aged 82 years of thereabouts (pg 164) This would make his birthdate about 1676. Does anyone have any of the above in their data files? Thank you Pat Thayer

My McElroy side is more recent then most that have been posted, but some Irish locations may be a connection. John McElroy b 1835 - d 1903 & Annie ? 1840 2 - Margaret 2 - George 2 - Catherine b 1867 - Jan 16, 1936 (my Great Grandmother) 2 - Mary 2 - Sarah This Family came by ship from England after John was accused of killing an English landowner in Donegal. The residents banned together to help the family escape to America around 1867 or just after. They arrived in Philadelphia and settled there. I haven't been able to find the family on any passenger lists or trace the family in Ireland. Most info was passed onto my mother from her Grandmother verbally before she passed, so it is very sketchy.

All of the above are believed to have been born between about l750 and l774 in either Va. or N.C. Surnames that are connected thru some of these marriages are Davis, Smith, McWhorter,Stevenson,Calhoun ,Sprayberry,Sullivant-Dunklin. WILLIAM was b. abt. l767 probably in Prince Edward county,Va. went to Mecklenburg county,NC married Elizabeth Unk. about l794. They had 9 children: Martha D; JOHN -our 2nd greatgrandfather b.

James and William are the two I have no additional information on and it is believed that James probably died young but I have no proof of that . JOHN b. l797 Mecklenburg co.NC.- greatgreatgrandfather- was married 4 times and died in July of l865 in Cross county,Arkansas. His wives were Unk. Cry(e) possibly Shy ; # 2 M.A.Belk; # 3 Mary Stevenson and # 4 Rachel McDuffy. He had a total of l5 children that we are aware of by the first 3 wives and none by the 4th wife who he married after the census was taken in l860 . He had one daughter by Miss Crye b. abt. l8l8 probably Mecklenburg co.NC. He had 4 children by # 2 Mary Belk : William B. b . abt. l823 , Darling B. b. abt. l825; John C. b. abt. l827 and Paramelia Armintha b. abt. l829.

(George and Issac who died in their teens in Arkansas and were never married) Robert P; Martha Jane; Ann and LICURGUS. The first 8 children by Mary Stevenson were born in Ga. and the last in Arkansas! and unk. as to where Ann was born as some records indicate Ar. but have seen it listed as Alabama so she may have been born in route to Arkansas from Georgia when the family moved in l848. LICURGUS MCELROY -greatgrandfather- b. l85l in St.Francis county,Arkansas. d. in l885 in Arkansas. Married Emily Nelson abt. l875 probably in Arkansas.

I am willing to correspond with anyone researching any of the above people and will share information when and how I can. Some I have loads of info about and others very little . Areas where family were known to have lived in different generations include: Bucks county,Pa. possibly cumberland Co.Pa then by the late l740's in Campbell and Prince Edward county,Va. Some to Lexington Ky by l779 others to N.C. and S.C. and into Ga. Counties that are known are Mecklenburg county,NC. in the waxhaws settlement area which was on the South Carolina line and then some in DeKalb co.Ga. and others in Murray County,Ga. Our greatgrandfather then went to St.Francis county,Ar. in l848 and another county called Cross was formed from St.Fr.in l862 and the family never moved just the county name changed. Several counties in Arkansas have played rolls in the McElroy family that we are related to. St.Francis, Cross, Independence,Jackson,White to name a few and there are other McElroy's in other counties and some are descendants of siblings from back in the l700 time frame from the Va. Ky. and N.C. areas. Our grandfather lived in Childress and Hardeman counties in! Texas after moving there abt. l9l9 from Independence county,Arkansas. Feel free to contact me at the address listed below if you are interested in corresponding ref: any of the names I have listed above. I am willing to share if and when I can and some of the info.

They had the following children-Rebecca born ca 1831 in Tn., Lucy born ca 1832 in Tn., (she married John Lackey first then William Sullivan; John R. born ca. 1833 in Tn. and died 1882, (he married Narcissa Ann Webb); Winney born ca. 1835 in Tn.(spouse-Patrick King); Jane McElroy born 4-13-1837 in Tn. and died 4-16-1906. She was buried at the Red River Station Cemetery in Montague County, Texas. She married Thomas Moore Cardwell. Three of John R. McElroy's children were captured by Comanche Indians while living in Montague County, Texas. They were Martha Ellen, Jacob Nathaniel"Nat" and William Dora McElroy.

I am researching John McElroy who lived in Greenville Co., SC from ca 1784 to 1800. He then moved to Caldwell Co., KY where he died in 1815. He had sons John who married unknown ( this is my 3g grandfather), James who married Elizabeth Ford, Aquilla, who married Rhoda Jones, Isaac Benjamin who married 1st Polly Sullivant, 2nd Elizabeth Bennett, 3rd Celia ??Crouch and William who married Catherine ??. I am interested in any of the above's descendants. My e-mail address is: vivian@camalott.com Vivian in TX

James MCELROY and Sarah MCCUNE came to America in 1729. I descend through their son, Archibald, born 1730, Bucks Co., PA. He was married to Ann ASTEN. Their son, John, and his son, John (Wesley?) born January 21, 1777, in VA continues my line. This John married Elizabeth JAMISON, daughter of James JAMISON, and their son, James Jamison McElroy, was my great grandfather. Jamison was born April 10, 1811, in Yancey Co., NC. He married Margaret Saphronia WEAVER in 1841 in Buncombe Co., NC. Their fourth child, Jacob Silas, was my grandfather. He was born September 11, 1850, in Yancey Co., NC. Jamison and Saphronia moved their family fom Madison Co., NC to Boone Co., AR in 1870. Jacob married Sarah Elizabeth YORK in 1877 in that county. In 1888 Jacob moved his family to TX, living first in Bosque Co and also Erath Co. Elizabeth died in 1895 and was buried at Huckaby, TX in Erath Co. She left Jacob with six children. My dad, Lester Lafayette (L L) McElroy was about seven years old when she died and their were two younger than him.My dad married Ella Jane MCKINNEY. This is a brief outline of my tree from the immigrants to myself, Dortha McElroy Greenlee. I have been trying to determine if Esther MCDOWAL(McDowell) the mother of James McElroy and the wife of Hugh MCILROY, if she is a sister of Ephriam MCDOWELL, who traveled with the McElroys, McDowells, Campbells, McAlreaths, and at least one James GREENLEE, on their trip to America. I know some think this is true. I would like to have proof of that relationship. I will be glad to exchange information on this family.

We have had a very quiet Summer. We have had many new people join our list. I think it is time to share our McElroy interest with other subscribers. Our Roll Calls are not like those on other lists though because we don't just throw out names. We ask that you provide as much information as you can. If the name is all that you can provide, at least give us a time frame in which your ancestor lived and the general area in which you believe he or she lived, was born, died, or was married.
