Hiram Kelly & Elizabeth McGee were married in Burke North Carolina in August 1813, and moved their family to Georgia in the early 1820s. Hiram bought land in Habersham County, then Cherokee and Forsyth counties. Their daughter Mary (1814-1890) married Theron MONROE ., who was born in South Carolina. Was Theron related to Dugal and/or Jesse Monroe? Daughter Sarah (1817-188?) married Joshua C. ELLIS. Did he have family in Cherokee or Forsyth County? He sold land to William ELLIs were they related? Elizabeth Kelly (1819- 1876) married Thomas MONROE. They moved from GA to TN before 1870 and the to Washington County, AR? Thomas was son of Jesse Monroe. Was there a reationship to Theron Monroe? Joseph Kelly married Elizabeth Rebecca FRANCIS, but I have not found a marriage record. Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth (HOLLAND) Francis. The probate record of the Thomas Francis estate indicated postage to mail papers to Mrs Kelly in Arkansas. Benjamin Kelly (1822 -1884) married Susan Narcissa SARTOR, daughter of Johnson & Elmina (Roberts), Sartor. After Narcissa's death Benjamin married Mary Jane WALLACE, the widow of James Monroe CHATHAM, who was killed during the Civil War. Andrew J. Kelly (1825-1906) married Julia Eloise HOLBROOK, (daughter of Samuel & Hanna (WILSON) HOLBROOK) died in 1866. Andrew then married Arabella LEDBETTER (daughter of Johnson & Nancy (WHITESIDES) Ledbetter). About 1850, Ruth Kelly (circa 1832 -?) married her brother's brother-in-law, William P HOLBROOK. Jesse R. KELLY (1833 -1897) 21 Jan 1854 Jesse married Elizabeth A, RICHARDS, who was born 9 Oct 1835 in South Carolina. J. R. Kelly graduated from Atlanta Medical School in 1859. Elizabeth (McGEE) KELLY died in the early 1840s. Hiram married a second time to Malinda ANDERSON. The 16 Jul 1845 marriage is recorded in Lumpkin County. Three daughters were born before 1850. Hiram, Malinda, their daughters, Joseph and daughter Sarah, their spouses and children moved to northwest Arkansas in the late 1850's. It is not known if Dr. Kelly and is family moved with the other family members or followed. Hiram, Joseph, & Jesse obtained property in Madison County before th 160 Census. Sarah and her husband found property in Washington county AR. Hiram died in 1862. Joseph was killed by bushwackers in 1863. Oral history indicates Jesse took the families to TX during the Civil War. There is no indication where in Texas. Elizabeth & Thomas Monroe were in TN in 1870, the moved to AR. They were there a short period of time before Elizabeth died. There are still pieces of the puzzle missing. I'd like fo find those pieces and connect with any of the Kelly. I am especially interested in identifying the parents of Joshua C. ELLIS. The only clue I have is a land exchange with William ELLIS prior to moving to AR. Jonelle ELLIS Russell
