I do live in the U.S. and I am a direct descendant of John McElmurry on my father's side. My father was born a McElmurry. Any information you have on John McElmurry and his parents origins you can give would be greatly appreciated by myself and the rest of my family.

It will take me a few days to put the information together but I will email you what I have on John Senior although I do not have any information about his birth. My line is John Sr./David/John/John “Peg Leg”/William Marion/Marvin Lafayette…

This is the Kentucky/Illinois John Sr. not the Cadron Blockhouse John of Arkansas.

Isn't the McElmurry's part of the Murray clan? I was told that it was. And I do believe that it was John McElmurry Sr. and his sons David and John Jr. that settled the Cadron settlement, and I have found evidence that supports it, and that John McElmurry is of my line. There are websites that state that John Sr. and his sons owned land in that area. Plus John Sr. had owned land in Ill. known as McElmurry Station at one time before heading south into Arkansas. It is my understanding that John McElmurry Sr. and his family traveled quite a bit before he was killed. For the most part I am confused about a lot of the information. All my grandfather told me was that we are descendants of John McElmurry Sr. who was born in Livingston Kentucky and founded McElmurry Station, and helped his boys with the settlement in Arkansas.

My theory is that McElmurray is deriviative from Ghillemhuire, sort of cut down. I think there is even a McIlMurray.

If you look at the Clan Morrison web page and go the DNA site, you can see McElmurray families in the list.
