Did I mention having writtten the Kelleys in Eldridge? What we are really looking for are the parents of John Walker, who was the father of the earliest Thaddias. Thad's middle name was reportedly Dudley and I hoped maybe some of the now descendants could tell me the origin of that name in the family, and from whence they came. Thaddias was born in Virginia he tells us on the 1850 Marion County census. Thanks to you and to Sue for your help and information. Marshall
