Seeking information on the McElderry Family of Ballymoney. I have been told that the name has also been known as MacIlderry and the Gaelic is Mac Giolla Dorcha or dorcha, dark. It was a well known name in Co. Tyrone as well as Antrim. So far, all the records I have came across in genealogy websites only list McElderry's from 1850 to 1925.
Known information:

Jonathan Webster McElderry b ca 1771 Ballymoney, Antrim N. Ireland d ca 1848 OH, USA
