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.
