MCELWAIN CENSUS NY & MA
This page was developed by nfarmilo@litestream.net
ROGER MCELWAIN (TIMOTHY SR; JAMES) b. 8/23/1759 Palmer MA m. 11/25/1790 in Palmer MA to DELINA HILL of Brimfield MA.
Sgt. ROGER MCELWAIN in Capt DAVID A CALDWELL'S Co. (Payroll Revolutionary army in MA - P.190)also Capt's CARPENTER & SHAW.
The 1810 New York Census (See Link) shows the following:
1) A. (ANDREW?) MCELWAIN of Otse. 117 (11110-12)
2) JOHN MCELWAIN of Jeff. 007 (2002-00)
3) R.(ROGER?) MCELWAIN of Otse. 117 (11110-12)
4) SAMUEL MCELWAIN of Jeff. 007 (00011-20)
I suspect that ROGER MCELWAIN died in Otsego Co NY or on his way to Wales, Erie Co NY as Heidi says below.
ROGER & DELINA (HILL) MCELWAIN had 6 children as follows:
1) MIRIAM (SPEAR) MCELWAIN b. 1791 Palmer MA
2) RALPH MCELWAIN (See Link) b. 1/10/1793 Palmer MA d. 1837 m. ALMIRA (ELIZABETH?) MOORE d. 1864
I am very sure that her name was ALMIRA MOORE MCELWAIN. Her father's name was WELCOME MOORE. The family is mentioned in the book "A History of Allegany
County" and they were also from the Palmer MA area. (From HEIDI)
3) TIMOTHY MCELWAIN b. 3/4/1795 Palmer MA d. 9/27/1877 age 80 yrs Conewango NY m. MARIAH FISH b. abt 1800 d. 3/27/1876 age 76 yrs Conewango NY to Erie Co NY 1818 & to Town of Conewango, Cattaraugus Co NY 1843
("History of Town of Conewango") p. 519
TIMOTHY MCELWAIN & REUBEN MCELWAIN both are in the 1865 census for Cattaurgus Co NY in household 241

5) LORENZO MCELWAIN (See Erie Co Link) b.1801 Palmer MA
6) SALLA "SALLY" MCELWAIN b. 1797 Palmer MA
In the article on JOHN ALLEN MCELWAIN JR it mentions that on his way from Palmer MA to Warsaw NY when he was 16 he stopped in Otsego Co. I assume it was to see Roger who was his father's half brother.
From Heidi: A very long time ago, I think I saw a reference to ROGER MCELWAIN having died somewhere in transit to Wales. I don't think he ever made it to Wales itself. I think it was on the NY state page of usgenweb.com. At the time I didn't realize it was information pertaining to me so...you know how it goes.
