    1. [TNRUTHER] McElroy, Witherspoon, Summers, Youree
    2. Adam Calhoun McElroy (b 1779) and Jane Cunningham moved to Rutherford Co. from Virginia about 1815 and settled in what became Yourees District. They were the parents of Matthew Lile McElroy who married Minerva Jane Witherspoon (dau of Joseph Witherspoon/Jane Bond) and eventually moved their family to Ellis County TX in 1856. I am also interested in the Samuel McElroy/Martha (McCamey?) family who were in Fosterville area and have pieced together census and other info on several of their descendants which I'll be happy to share. Elizabeth Isabell Youree was born Nov 1820 and was the daughter of James Youree and an unknown first wife (second wife was Dorothy Hardeman). She married William Summers (b 1817) in 1838 and in 1849, they moved to Cherokee County, TX along with several of their relatives and neighbors. William was the son of William Summers/Eleanor and grandson of George Summers/Malinda I have bits and pieces of information on all of these families which I'll be happy to share - but missing huge pieces of the puzzle - such as maiden names for the Summers grandmas (Malinda and Eleanor/Ellender) and the name of the first wife of James Youree - possibly Elizabeth Lowe?
