I found one that might fit, Andrew Jackson Mackelroy born 1820, except he was in Tennessee instead of Georgia. He had wives, Jane Webb and Martha Doyle. He had a son named Polk. One named Andrew and one named William. Rather prominent man. A State Senator in Tennessee among other things. His parents were Andrew and Polly (or Patty (Martha?) Shropshire. Andrew was born 1782 probably Wilkes or Oglethorpe Co., GA. They married in 1811 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. I only have Andrew as a son for them. Close only counts in horseshoes. I use Mackelroy as a generic instead of McElroy as very seldom do I find one of my ancestor's name being spelling McElroy. Very rarely. 10 other ways, but seldom McElroy. I first found John with his named spelled Mackelroy or Mackleroy or Mackelduroy.
