Hello List, My name is Beverly McElroy and my husband's 4th,3rd and 2nd greatgrandfathers lived or were born in that area known as the Waxhaws settlement in the late l700 and early l800 time frame. I am trying to locate any information I can about where some of the family attended church or where they might have been buried and thought I would ask if anyone on this list knows of someone with a list of burials for the Providence Presbyterian Church in Waxhaw,NC. I do not know that this is where our ancestors were buried or their familys;however, it is a starting point since I found on the internet where someone that probably knew our family was buried in this cemetery. I know that our 4th greatgrandfather died in l795 (John McElroy b. abt. l729 Ireland died Mecklenburg co.NC l795. Our 3rd greatgrandfather, William McElroy lived in the Waxhaws as did many of his children and he may have even been born there but we are not positive of this. He had two younger brothers ,believed to have been born in this area. The younger brothers moved on so William is the only one that we believe might be buried there as well as his father John. William b. abt. l767 died in Mecklenburg county,Waxhaws area, in l8l9. Our 2nd greatgrandfather was born there in March of l797 to William McElroy and wife Elizabeth unknown McElroy. He had one older sister and 7 younger siblings. He lived there till probably about l8l8 or there abouts and possible lived in S.C. for a time then to Ga. probably around l830 then in l848 to Arkansas where he died in l865. Other surnames that are of interest to me are: McWhorter, Davis,Crye,Belk,Stevenson,possibly Houston as well. Additional names that have family ties are Sprayberry, McCommon ,Ingram and others too numerous to mention here. Our McElroy family may have moved there about l767;however, we know that John and family were there by l77l. They came from Prince Edward county,Va. If anyone can help me or can give me the name of an organization or church or individual for me to contact,ref: the names mentioned in this email, I would appreciate it so much. Thank you so much, Sincerely, Beverly McElroy P.O.Box 268 Moriarty,New Mexico 87035 grannymc8@zianet.com
