Thank you so much , Louis ! That helps alot ! So the John McELROY born 1807 is the father. When you have time , I'd appreciate it very much if you would let me know of anything that you know about the son, John MCELROY who married Priscilla SHIVERS. I have not been able to find out what happened to him . Thanks again !
