Stephen, Cant't thanks you enough for all this info! I had some, but certainly not all of it, so truly appreciate your efforts. Not all the Kelly's you listed are related, but I've just heard from another Louisa Co. Kelly family to whom I suspect the others tie. Sure wish we could find Joseph, but appreciate your advice and will follow up on them. Stephen F Bartenhagen wrote: > Hi Ed, > > I did promise to put your request on my TO DO list.
