About 1729, James McELROY, wife Sarah McCUE, Rev. Irvine, McDowells, McCampbells, McKees sailed from Belfast to Philadelphia, PA. 1901 book by Rev. John M. McElroy " Scotch-Irish McElroys in America" states they came on ship "George and Ann" but McElroys are not listed among 1729 sailing of the George and Ann passengers (from the Charles Clinton diary). If 1729 is the correct year, they may have been on the "John of Dublin??"
Believe James & Sarah were married in County Down in May 1725, James being born abt. 1704 and Sarah abt. 1708. Her parents were (possibly) James McCue(n) and Sarah McDowell.
Children: John, Archibald, James, Hugh, Elizabeth, Mary, Samuel
