Surnames: McElwee/Massey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FdB.2ACE/501.1.1 Message Board Post: Matilda McElwee b. Aug 17, 1798 married Nathan Massey. They had 2 sons: John N. (1820) and James D. (1822). According to family tradition neither son is supposed to have married. Matilda's parents wereJames McElwee b. Aug 19, 1758 in that part of Brunswick Co., VA, which is now Greenville Co., and died in Pike Co., MO on Jan 13, 1834. He enlisted as a volunteer in the SC Militia in York Co., in the winter of 1775 uner Capt. John Moffett, who was under Col. Thomas Neel. James married Rhoda Black and they had 14 children Ann B. Apr 1, 1795, Jane Jun 9, 1797, Matilda Aug 17, 1998, William Black Oct 8, 1799; John Henry Apr 11, 1800; Margaret March 23, 1801; James Darby Jan 17 1802; Dan May 2, 1806; Rhoda Jun 8, 1808; Ross May 20, 1809; Mary July 9, `1812; Abner Lewis Jan 6, 1814; Amos Harris Apr 29, `1816; and Elizabeth Oct 1, 1817. There are 3 pages of James in the various wars. The complete record of military services is located in the files of the National Archives of the US under File No. W 9553, relating to pensions of Revol War soldiers. the pension application, No. 106, of his widow Rhoda Black is there also. The James McElwee Chapter of D.A.R. at Sigourney, IA was established my Mary Virginia McElwee Goldner in honor of this James McElwee. In March of 1832 James, his wife and children, except Ann, moved to Pike County, MO. They floated their covered wagons and oxen across the Mississippi River by cutting trees and attaching them to the sides of the wagons. This portage was made close the the present site of the Champ Clark Bridge at Louisiana, Missouri.They settled 165 acres located about half way between LA and Bowling Green, Missouri, located 5 miles north of the present US Hwy 54. Here he errected a home of handmade bricks consisting of two large rooms with a fireplace across the end of the west room. It still stands today. He built a sawmill which is still to be seen in ruins. Across a revine, about a quarter of a mile sw, is the family cemetery where James and his wife and quite a number of his descendants are buried. Their inscription: "Sacred to the memory of James McElwee , an old Revolutionary soldier, born in Greenville County, Virginia, Aug 19, 1758 and died in Pike County Mo., January 13, 18! 34, aged 75 years 4 months and 24 days." Hope this helps. Linda

My ancestor Joseph Joshua Akin ( most records refer to him as Joshua) lived in York Co SC between 1783 to 1810. He moved to Burke Co NC by 1810. I am very interested in finding who he married and know that her name was Ann. I am hoping that someone might have knowledge of an Ann who married an Akin about 1810 in York Co SC or Burke Co NC. Ann was born about 1790 in NC. Any help in finding Ann's last name will be appreciated. Thank you. Deanna Ames.

Louise, I would like to know what is there regarding Jacksons and Parkers if you don't mind. Jackons will do if there are too many of both. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Would your book have included a Matilda around that time who either was a McElwee or was married to a McElwee?

There are many Jacksons, too many to copy unless you give me a specific name. The Parkers are fewer. Here are the Parkers in the index: Elizabeth, John, John W., Mrs. M. H., N.

If the "book" you are referring to is YORK, SOUTH CAROLINA, NEWSPAPERS MARRIAGE AND DEATH NOTICES, 1823-1865, the answer is that there is no Nathan Massey or Matilda McElwee mentioned.

I am looking for a Daniel Young who died aout 1853/1857 but not in the 1850 NC or SC census. He left a wife Martha who married a Poole from Cleveland County and they lived in Lincoln County in 1860 census. In that census the Young children were listed under his name as Poole's instead of Youngs. Daniel and Martha Young's daughter Mary Ann was my great-grandmother. My 92 year old aunt was 12 when Mary Ann died. Mary Ann married a Holbrook in Mecklenburg County, then my great-grandfather John Franklin Fisher from Lincoln County and was in 1880 Gaston County census. He died in 1887. She remarried in 1891 in Gaston County. That is where I found that her father was Daniel Young. Can find no marriage record for Daniel and Martha. There was a Daniel Young earlier in Lincoln County that might be the same man and Martha was the 2nd wife. Daniel and Martha had Mary Ann, Susan, James, and Zachariah Young. Only Mary Ann and her half-brother Albert Poole lived to be old. If you can help me, I would really appreciate it. As for the Young's in York SC, I have info on their line from 1840 up. They are the relatives of Fields Young, III of Shelby. His mother or sister gave me a copy of their line. Will be glad to share that.

Hi, Not sure if this is of any help or may not be anyway connected to you. My gr- gr-gr-gr-grandfather was John Brown & he lived in Chester/Fairfield. He has a daughter Nancy Brown born 4-26-1780. She married a Martin. He also has a daughter named Margaret who married a Haygood.Haigwood - she was born abt 1794. There are a lot of Browns in this area & seems like they loved to name them after the same relatives. Didn't know if maybe there might be a second marriage.
