Hello all I am trying to learn more about my husband greatgreatgreatgrandfather William McElroy who lived in Mecklenberg county where his first child was born in l795 to his death in l8l9. He was married to a Elizabeth unk. We have the following children listed for him and Elizabeth. Martha D, b. l795, married to a Hugh McCommon John b. March l797 (he later moved to Arkansas) Hannah b. l799 married to a James Belk Rachel, Nancy Martin McElroy who married a cousin Samuel McElroy Jr., Elizabeth McElroy married to Alexander Ingram, Sarah Sally who married William Stevenson and a William McElroy and James S. McElroy. John b. l797 is our greatgreatgrandfather and we understand he was married 4 times and we would very much like to learn about his first two wives, ??Crye or Shy and also a Mary or M.Belk. We believe he had one daughter named Mary McElroy by first wife and 4 children by M.Belk. Would like to find the parents of the Crye lady and the M.Belk lady. Also interested in learning where or when he married these first two wives. Would like to learn more about where father William McElroy was buried as we cannot find any records on where he was buried. The widow Elizabeth later moved to Ga. along with some of the children. William's father was John McElroy who settled in the Waxhaws settlement prior to l790 and he died in l795 Meckenberg co.NC Will share info with anyone interested and appreciate any info anyone has to share with me. Thanks so much Beverly McElroy grannymc8@zianet.com
