Seeking information on the Benjamin Kell(e)y family. Benj. was b c 1772 NY (re census info). It is believed he was born/lived in the Finger Lake region of NYS. By 1816 he had migrated south to Wayne Co., PA where he built at least one tannery - possibly two (one may have been by son Benj. Jr.?). Benj. b c 1772 d after 1850 PA census marr. Mary HOEL/HOLE b c 1788 NJ d after 1850 census. They had at least 7 children: Benj., E. Mahala, Martha, Nancy, Marinda, Caroline and Robert. Robert KELL(E)Y b 1831 PA marr. Lucy Ann KILLAM - they both died in Potter Co., PA. At least 3 of their 8 children migrated to Tulare Co., CA: Frances b 1849; Mahala b 1863 marr. Joseph AKERS; and Lyman B. b 1880. Have been trying to find the parentage/family of Benjamin b c 1772 and believe he may belong to the massive O'KILLIA/KELL(E)Y family of MA then VT, but cannot find the link. Is anyone related to this KELL(E)Y family or know of them? More than willing to share what info I do have.
