To the best of my knowledge this is an outline of my McElroy family. Nathaniel McElroy was born 1797 in N.C. and died in Montague County, Texas. He lived in Tennessee, then Cole County, Missouri, then Dallas County, Missouri. He married Polly born ca 1796 in N.C. They moved to Texas about 1860. They moved with several other families-the Webbs, Boohers and Lackeys. They had the following children-Rebecca born ca 1831 in Tn., Lucy born ca 1832 in Tn., (she married John Lackey first then William Sullivan; John R. born ca. 1833 in Tn. and died 1882, (he married Narcissa Ann Webb); Winney born ca. 1835 in Tn.(spouse-Patrick King); Jane McElroy born 4-13-1837 in Tn. and died 4-16-1906. She was buried at the Red River Station Cemetery in Montague County, Texas. She married Thomas Moore Cardwell. Three of John R. McElroy's children were captured by Comanche Indians while living in Montague County, Texas. They were Martha Ellen, Jacob Nathaniel"Nat" and William Dora McElroy.
