Marc, This line is well and extensively covered in "Scotch-Irish McElroys in America", beginning on page 53, under the chapter titled "Big Spring (PA.) McElroys". If you don't have access to this book, let me know. I can send you a file on all, of this family, who are mentioned in the book.

Julie, I have been searching for this info on and off for about two years. You are the first to tell me that it's in the Scotch-Irish McElroys. I don't have access to the book, just some photocopied pages and notes. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I would really like to have a look at this line in whatever format you may have available.
