Barney married Mary Etta Macel Deas about 1918. Mary was born on 4 Mar 1904 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 21 Nov 1986 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Yellowpine Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her tombstone is inscribed "Our Mother at Rest, Mary Etta YOUNGBLOOD." Her spouse was said to be Joseph Isaac Clark, who died in the 1952, and was buried at the Clark-Clarktown Cemetery, with Mary Etta Macel DEAS. The Trahan Family Tree on Ancestry.com shows her husband as Barney Dillard McElroy (1893-1936). Laura Buckmaster shows Barney Thomas Dillard McElroy as her first husband, and Joseph Isaac Clark as her second husband. Laura further shows that Mary was a daughter of Joseph J. DEAS and Lula S. Williford. It appears she married third a Youngblood.

Notes:

Barbara Yancey Dore shows him as the son of William W. McElroy and Queen Boren. She also shows that he first married a Kate, and that they were the parents of three daughters, Fanny, Angeline and Mary. Linda King Davenport shows that the first Kate he married was Catherine Jane Polley, a daughter of Oliver J and Anglinea (Hamilton) Polley.

William married Sarah Katherine Ashmore. Sarah (daughter of Spencer Ashmore and Elizabeth Clark) was born about 1854 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 24 Aug 1947 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried on 26 Aug 1947 in Yellowpine Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her death certificate indicated she was a widow, and was 94 years old.

Notes:

Married:
Some online trees also show that their first child was Samuel, and that Ida appears to have had a twin, Ada. If they are correct, it would appear both children died young as they are not located on census listings with the rest of the family.

Notes:

Barbara Yancey Dore shows that he served in Co H, 8th Regiment, TX Cav, CSA.

James Cooper, a direct descendant, shows this as well. James further indicates that William's middle name was Wilbur, and that he was a son of Samuel M. and Miriam (WILLIAMS) McElroy of Kentucky.
