Because there are so many pages, David's book is rather expensive and he is in a wheelchair so it is difficult for him to get out to copy the book.

Does anyone know the authors of the "Box Book" mentioned above, as well as the author of the "Scotch Irish McElroys" ? 2. Is anyone in touch with Tom's widow, in case she does perhaps have a copy of his book? ( If not, I shall try to obtain the book and copy some information via a Family History Center ) 3. Is there any chance that David (above) will be making any more copies of his book, with the outside possibility that I would be able to obtain one? Thanks! Mark McLeroy Appling, GA
