MCELROY, PARKER posted by Patti Vahary on Monday, May 1, 2000: I am looking for copies or someone who is willing to xerox pages from the following book "Pecos A History of the Pioneer West" written by Alton Hughes. I was told this book contains several pages on my family which I am doing research on. The following surnames that would be contained in this book are MCELROY and PARKER. John Thomas MCELROY was my Great Great Uncle who married Mamie PARKER. John was a millionaire from ranching and oil and died in the 1930's. His wife was 30 years younger than him and she is of the famous PARKER families who pioneered in the early days of Texas before it became a state. I cannot find this book locally nor will libraries that own it loan it to my library. I hope someone out there can copy the pages my family is referred to in this book, will pay you for the copies and postage. Thank you! Email me at johnv288@aol.com Patti
