Hi! I'm new to the list and very interested in obtaining information about the above-mentioned KELLY families. These KELLYs moved to Dallas Co., AL, from Lexington, Orangeburg Co., SC. The original KELLY immigrant was John Jacob KHELE (KELLY) from Germany who came to SC in 1752. Other families who may have moved with the KELLYs were HOLMANs, CROUTs, CORLEYs, TAYLORs, HARRISes, OWENs, HENDRICKs, and LYBRANDs. About 1832 Andrew KELLY moved to AL and obtained 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). In 1835 Andrew Kelly applied for a Rev. War pension. John Frederick KELLY of Dallas Co., AL bought land from Mathias SLICE (Dallas Co. Deeds E-664) and in 1839 John F. KELLY and wife Catherine sold land to Mathias WESSINGER (Dallas Co. Deeds G-63). The personal property of John F. Kelly was appraised 4 May 1851 (Dallas Co. Estates H-148). 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. James R. Kelly obtained land patents in 1835 and 1840 in Dallas Co., AL. Can anyone tell me where EXACTLY these KELLYs lived? 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. Thanks! Kathryn
