- "Robert was born in South Carolina before coming to Texas. He bought land in Mississippi in Monroe County in 1852. Living in Kemper County, Mississippi in 1850 were Isaac and Mary McKelvain with two sons, John and Tom. Living next door and one house away were William McKelvain and Benjamin McKelvain. All were born in South Carolina. In 1880 John McKelvain is living in Eastland County, Texas, the next county to Shackelford where Robert died in 1879. This is also next to Stephens County where after his death, Leah Nancy Jane, his wife, had a homestead. Thomas Jefferson McKelvain was living in McLennen County, Texas, where Robert had bought land. It makes sense that these people are all family. I believe that Isaac and Mary McKelvain of SC and MS are the parents of Robert K. McKelvain." (SOURCE: Gayle L. Triller , McElveen Researcher).
Isaac was the son of John and Elizabeth McElveen of Sumpter County, SC. The names I have for children of John and Elizabeth are: Isaac, John, William, Benjamin, and Burrell. All of these names except Isaac have been used in the McKelvain descendants of Robert's." (SOURCE: Gayle L. Triller , McElveen Researcher).
