JOHN GEORGE Mc ELMURRAY

South Carolina
Married - Mary Ann Colson on December 21,
1835, daughter of John William Colson Jr. and Jane Cooper.
Source: Various gedcoms on line.
However, they say Richmond County, Georgia. It is more than
likely Burke County, Georgia as that is where both families
lived we believe.
Mary Ann Colson - December 18, 1818
to January 27, 1887, buried at Fulcher Cemetery, Richmond
County, GA (note: There is also a McElmurray, S.R. - no
further ID or dates).
Died - June 9, 1854 in Burke County,
Georgia
