They married outside the preacher's home, or maybe it was a Justice of the Peace, at Gordon, TX.My dad was Lester L (L L) MCELROY and my mother was Ella Jane MCKINNEY. He was 20 and she was 15 years old. Ella was the daughter of John (J J) McKinney and Eliza Jane (Jenny) PLEDGER McKinney. My grandfather was a rancher and also a former member of the Confedracy, serving from the state of MS. He was born 1843 in Lincoln Co., TN. He and my mother shared the same birthday, June 13, he in 1843 and she in 1893 - she was born on his 50th birthday. She was child number 12 out of a family of 14.
