a previous researcher had said in his notes that this McEleroy family came from Greene County, NY. I found a Jonathan MCElroy there before 1820, who was a blacksmith. William John McElroy was noted for his foundry work in Macon, Bibb County, GA, and was recognized for a gun that he built for use by the confederacy. I am interested in finding more info and connections to this McElroy group. WILLIAM JOHN1 MCELROY was born Abt. 1820 in Greene County, NY, and died in Macon , Bibb County, GA. He married EASTER FREENY December 27, 1849 in Macon, Bibb County, GA. Children of WILLIAM MCELROY and EASTER FREENY are: i. JULIETTE FERRIS2 MCELROY, b. December 13, 1854, Macon, Bibb County, GA; d.
