There is a second William Emanuel McElveen, I didn't complete this study but his family moved to Sumter SC and later migrated to Mississippi I believe. I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure that's what we concluded. The two families were differentiated by autosomal matches. The family in Williamsburg was a traditional plantation. The family in Sumter (again from what I remember) raised cattle. We see them being inherited from their subsequent fathers.

If I can attach this ancestor, I will include their sources.

Please advice.
