I am seeking information about my ancestors, Andrew KELLY and his sons Samuel and James, who lived in Dallas County in 1835. About 1832 Andrew KELLY moved to AL and obtained a land patent in 1833 in Dallas Co., AL. In 1835 he deeded this land to sons, Samuel and James R. KELLY (Dallas Co., AL Deeds D-219 and 220). Between 1834 and 1837 Samuel KELLY obtained land patents in Dallas Co., AL, and before 1850 had moved to Monroe Co., AL. Samuel KELLY was my g-g-g-grandfather. His daughter, Rosannah (my g-g-grandmother), married Henry TAYLOR in Monroe County, AL in 1848. Can anyone tell me where EXACTLY these KELLYs lived? How can I get copies of their land records? Do you have any other information about them? Do you know where I might find any additional information about them? Are any of their descendants still in Dallas County? I will appreciate your response.
