This is actually a family I was looking at a while back. I have a Chapman R. Keese (also spelled Keesee and Keesy) who was born around 1785 (don't know where). He was married several times in both Kentucky and Indiana and I don't know who his children were by these other marriages though he appears to have had 1 son and 3 daughters. In 1843 in Boone County he was married to Jane McKinney-Williams (widow of Charles Williams). Chapman and Jane had two daughters, Nancy and Sarah, before they were divorced in Clinton County in 1851. I have been unable to find them in the 1850 census, Jane died in 1855 and I have no idea what happened to Chapman after their divorce. One of Charles and Jane's daughters was America Williams-Corns, wife of William Corns, they lived between Bowers and Darlington.

To: Montgomery County <inmontgo@rootsweb.com> Thomas Kelsey died in Crawfordsville in 1905, age 60, but I cannot find him with Alice -- or indeed, cannot find him at all in 1880. I found a family of potters in Iowa born in Indiana with a Thomas of approximately the right age in 1860 -- but didn't find them again. Absolutely zero results on Kessey with any reasonable connection to Alice/Thomas/Crawfordsville. I guess the next step for someone who's not cooking Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow is a line-by-line search of the 1880 census in Montgomery County -- perhaps just the eastern townships.
