My McElroy side is more recent then most that have been posted, but some Irish locations may be a connection. John McElroy b 1835 - d 1903 & Annie ? 1840 2 - Margaret 2 - George 2 - Catherine b 1867 - Jan 16, 1936 (my Great Grandmother) 2 - Mary 2 - Sarah This Family came by ship from England after John was accused of killing an English landowner in Donegal. The residents banned together to help the family escape to America around 1867 or just after. They arrived in Philadelphia and settled there. I haven't been able to find the family on any passenger lists or trace the family in Ireland. Most info was passed onto my mother from her Grandmother verbally before she passed, so it is very sketchy.
