We have gone to Meigs County 3 times this year doing research. I do recognize the name Hysell from our research. We probably won't begoing back until after Winter, but would be happy to take your info and look for a link. I would agree that prehaps a McElroy woman marrried and gave her son the mane McElroy as a middle name. McElroy family was one of the pioneer families in Meigs County. You can reach me direct at peggymcelroy@hotmail.com. Please email and give me any info you can, and I will look for it on our next trip to Meigs County. Their records are pretty good at the Library in Pomeroy, OHio.
