I'm looking for any and all info regarding my McElvy/McElvey family. Specifically, I'm looking for the parents, birth place and marriage of my g-g-g-grandfather. William McElvy was born 1778, married Barbary Reeves in 1779 and died in Decatur co, GA in 1842. I have him in Burke Co, GA in 1802, then in Tattnall Co, GA in 1820 and then in Decatur Co, GA in 1821. In a letter written by him, he states that his parents were of European origin and died during the revolution leaving him with out guardian. It is assumed that he is referring to the American Revolution. This family may be from Scotland or Ireland. I'm also looking for any info on this family from 1802 forward. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Liz Gerlits Palm Bay, FL
