Correction! Jane McDowell McElrath was married to William McElrath, b. 1831 Pa., not Arthur McElrath. William and Jane married in 1861 and lived in Eureka, Dakota, Mn. They had 3 children. I am still searching for them.

Thank you.

Ira McElrath

amirdekel — 2008-11-03 02:57:31Z

I am looking for information about Ira McElrath who died before 1897. All I know right now is that he was married to Margaret McElrath (previously Bishop, maiden name unknown) who later lived in Atlanta, GA from 1897 and died 1912.

I am really trying to find out Margaret's original maiden name. Just found out she was Ira's widow today.

Thanks,

Hi Roy, nice to meet you Josh.
I have a couple questions about the McElrath, Self, Cashman lines. First, I did figure out from the 1900 census that Margaret had been married to McElrath prior to then, that she was running a boarding house (?), her parents lived with her, and Henry S Cashman (my ggrandfather) was a boarder.
My question: I have a record of Bertha, Clarence, and Dewey McElrath. On the 1910 census it appears as though Dewey is Jewel, that is incorrect. My grandmother, Anna Cleo, definitely said it was Dewey.
Also, Henry Shoup Cashman died in Salem, Marion County, OR. I have a copy of his death cert. I also have a copy of his WWI draft registration. My son is going to try to take a picture of his and Fannie (Thomas) Cashman's headstones.
Question #2: What happened to Bertha, Clarence, and Dewey when Henry took the family west?
Question #3: Grandma said Dewey lived in Washington State and was alcoholic? I can't find a SSDI.
Maybe one of you have some answers for me. Thanks so much!

2005-10-06 04:59:37Z

James D. McElrath married Margaret Ellen Self in Elk Garden West Virginia 3/25/1896. I've found plenty on her but not much on him. While looking around I think that I saw something stating that she was widowed by age 29. She remarried a Henry Cashman. Any clues? I hate to say it but it seems that I have hit a dead end.

I am trying to get in touch with descendants of the John Edgar McElrath who attended Harvard University in the Fall of 1860. A great uncle of mine was a classmate, lived in the same dormitory and was friends. The entries in his journal and his letters home contain some poignant passages about their leave-taking when Edgar left in April, 1861 to return South for the war. I would be willing to share these passages with descendants. If Edgar left any similar writings of his feelings at the time, I would appreciate seeing those and a picture of Edgar.

hello: if you have the SSN, you can actually send off for more information (for example, you can obtain the place of birth, the place of residence when the person applied for a SS card, etc.). i think the cost has increased to about 20 dollars. the form can be obtained from http://www.rootsweb.com, but i cannot recall the exact location within those web pages. i have used the forms before and it takes about 2 months to receive the information. it still might be worth it though. good luck. karen
