Biography

https://hackerscreek.com/norman/PROBST.htm

Catherine Elizabeth Propst, a daughter of George Frederick and Barbara (Swadley/Pence) Propst, was born March 15, 1772 and died August 4, 1849 in Calhoun County, VA (WV). She reportedly married James McQuain.

She married Tunis Anthony McElwain in Pendleton County VA in 1791. Tunis was a son of George and Nancy (Rector) McElwain. His monument in the Ball-Winter cemetery in Calhoun County WV gives a birth date of August 19, 1773 and death date of November 4, 1851. However, his American Revolution Veteran's pension file contains a December 10, 1833 deposition stating that he was 74 years on the date of the deposition. A Virginia Militia record states that he was 75 years old March 4, 1831. Since his claim for a Revolutionary War service pension was validated, he was probably born about 1760.

In 1797, the family moved from Pendleton County to Franklin County, VA and lived there until 1802, when they returned to Pendleton,County, where they remained until 1812. In 1812 they moved to the,banks of the Elk River and settled at the mouth of the Holly River.mTunis had 54 acres surveyed October 18, 1815 and received a land grant
from the Commonwealth of Virginia December 30, 1816. In 1830, themfamily moved to the West Fork of the Little Kanawha River in Kanawha,County, VA near the present site of Arnoldsburg, Calhoun County, WV. The 1850 Gilmer County census lists Tunis in the household of his son in law, Soloman Nicholas.

Tunis Anthony and Catherine (Propst) McElwain are buried in the Ball-Winter Cemetary, near Arnoldsburg, Calhoun County, WV.
