Mississippi Confederate Grave Registrations R973-7462; W756M 1991 V.2 J.A. McElroy, 6th S.C. Inf b. 1848 d. 1916, b. S.C., Buried Harr. Co. J.C. McElroy, 39th Ms. Inf. d. 1912. Buried Newton Co. Ransom L. McElroy, 2nd Ms. Inf. b. 1844 d. 1933 b. Ms Buried Lauderdale Co., Ms. --------------- Does anyone know who these men are? I am especially curious about Ransom. My great grandfather, Zacheus S. McElroy [Muckleroy, etc.] was murdered by one Christopher L. Davis in 1845 & along with the then Governor of Mississippi, a R. McElroy joined in to offer a $250.00 reward. They were living in Lauderdale at the time of the murder [it is assumed that Zacheus was]. And many moons ago, I found a Ransom L. McElroy registered with the Cherokee Indians. I have to re-locate that source for I was a beginner and possibly failed to note the source apparently. Has anyone else ever come across this information? As I recall it was in some Mississippi tax records. Waneta McElroy Arner <[email protected]>
