McElderry Family of Tyrone, N. Ireland
« on: Thursday 04 April 13 08:41 BST (UK) »
Seeking information on the McElderry Family of Tyrone.

Have came across many small pieces of information that point to this family but nothing solid.

The Irish form of MacElderry (Often written as MacIlderry) is Mac Giolla Dorcha (dorcha, dark). It is a well known name in Co. Tyrone but now numerous in Co. Antrim The McElderry family has been prominent in and around Ballymoney for a long time

All I have been able to find is:

John Mc Elderry
b ca 1721 Ballymoney, Antrim, N. Ireland

md ca 1762 Chester Co., Pennsylvania
Ruth ?
*****************************************

Jonathan McElderry
b 26 May 1771 County Derry, N. Ireland
d 9 April 1848 Carroll Co., Ohio

md 27 March 1794 PA

Margaret Mc Cabe
b 8 May 1773 Ballymoney, Antrim, N. Ireland
d 13 Mar 1838 Ohio
 
Thanks for any help.
