CHILDREN OF ANDREW McELMURRAY

Note: Following are based on the 1810 and 1820 census figures, plus the family information on Minus H. McElmurray, 1803. We have not been able to identify other children. The 1830 census indicates possibly the wife may have died. Considering the possibility of an older child with his/her family living with Andrew, we did not use the 1830 census to compute children. Would appreciate input from other researchers.
