List & Robbin & Gale Freeman: This is interesting since Truman, MN is in Martin County. Where I am. I will check our cemetery list and obit files when I next get a chance. Will put a print out of this in my Presidents bag. We have a board meeting tomorrow night. I had checked on a couple of families still living in North Eastern Iowa and they are not connected to myself. I told them about our list. Marion County Iowa is where my other cousins off of Noah & Esther Kellum's son Jesse and others were. Many of them remained Quaker for a few more years, and some still are. I have not really researched ---keep saying I am going to buy Heiss Quaker Records. What I do have is Alfred Kellum (son of Noah Kellum JR. & Jane Hockett) b. 18 Oct 1826 Marion Co. IN d. 14 Jun 1893 ? of where + 17 Mar 1859 Amy Mills b. 17 Sep 1830 d. 10 Oct 1909 MO. For Alfred and Amy Kellum I have 3 children so far. Ella, Nettie, & WILLIAM The time frame would seem to be doable here.

Yes I can add to your list. This is a wonderful example of spelling variations of the last name as shown in the various town records. KILLIM (see also Killam), Hanah, d. Daniel, Dec. 21, 1664. CT. R. "Wenham Mass., Wenham Births, Vital records through 1849, page 50." *Note - the Daniel referred to in the above record is Corporal Daniel Kilham, member of the Massachusetts Ancient & Honorable Artillery Company, who was married to Mary Safford (Saffourd) of Ipswich. You will find Daniel's last name also spelled Killem or Killum in many of the Ipswich records. KELLUM (see also Kilham), Hanah, and John Loverell of Piscataqua, Mar 1, 1686. CT. R. "Ipswich, Mass., Ipswich Marriages, Vital Records through 1849. pages 248, 287." If you will contact me directly at rkilham@home.com , I believe that I can place you in direct contact with a genealogist who has focused on the Lovering family.

Hi Ruth, I'm sorry to say I don't have your William anywhere. My group didn't move around much until later in the 1800's, and even then they didn't go far. So far I haven't found any variations on the spelling in the Ryton on Dunsmore parish registers and only KELLAMs appear. I checked to see if your William had this spelling, because perhaps if he did move away his accent would have made the name sound different to some clerk. I had this happen with another line and it was 2 years of misery because the names werent' even variations of each other - WALL actually turned out to be WARR. Anyway, no luck I'm afraid. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Hi There, I'm afraid there's no connection between my KELLAM ancestors and the GUNNs. GUNTLET actually comes from the name GAUNTLETT, and is usually a misspelling, along with it's other variations. There's also no relation between my KELLAM ancestors and my GAUNTLETT ancestors. The KELLAMs go back on my Grandmother's side and the GAUNTLETTs go back on my Grandfather's side, and both come from different parts of England. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hello, I responded to Eric's message at the email he gave, but it was returned this address not known soooooooooooo I am putting herr...sorry for taking up so much room! M.Gibson Hi Eric, I receive postings from Kellum/Kellam email and saw your request. Getting started begins with YOU. Collecting originals or copies of birth, death, marriage, military, church, obits in newspaper as well as any of those already mentioned. Anyone on Soc. Sec , which began in 1936 and has died will be listed there in SSDeath Index and you may send a letter, you may print off computer, & $7 and they send copy of the application made to get Soc. Sec. card. It has much information on it such as person name, address, place of birth, year, parents names, etc. Census records are available from 1790-1920. They are released every 75 yrs. So the 1930 will be availablein 2005. You need to PROVE from gen-gen. Your birth certificate has parents names on it. Also good to ask for marriage applications as well as license or certificate of marriage. Search sites on computer are good to locate others searching same person or name. One good site is < WorldConnect Project >> exactly as I have typed it. Others: FamilyHistory.com GenForum Ancestry.com Gendex GenWeb State Project list (all states & you click on to whichever and there is wealth of info availabel. As well as surname lists, queries, etc. ==================================================== enough of that (I use to teach genealogy seminars and get carried away trying to impress on anyone that all boils down to proof!) It doesn't matter if Aunt Hattie wrote book on family history unless, in it, she lists vol, page & place where facts are found or includes pictures of same. =====================================================mme mama grdpa Martin 1st gf Martin 2nd ggdmother Mary (Douglass) Martin 3rd ggmother Sarah Bell (Sally) (Kellum) Douglass 4th ggfather Henry A. Kellum of MD, near Richmond, VA, Chatham & Wake Co's, NC and died in Davidson Co, Tenn. in Dec of 1799. In 1818 his dau Sarah B & husband John Douglass, their children, her sister & family, John's elderly parents and Sarah's younger brother, Smlith Kellum, packed all belongings and by keel boat to Ark. Territory. Party of 15, in all. Smith married 2 yrs later to Jane Pyeatt, dau of Jacob, another pioneer in Ark. Terr. As were my Martin ancestors, 4 brothers who came in two in 1815, 1 ea in 1820 & 1821. Smith & wife had : 1. John Pyeatt Kellum b- 29 Sep 1823 d- 12 Jan 1901* 2.

Isaac was only 2 when she died) This info was in photocopy of original letter written by Emily C. on Dec 27 1--5 part of year not legible. She is writing from either Decatur or San Marcos, TX back to Ark to a nephew named Fields ? * I have a letter written in 1905 by John P. so whoever put in his death at 1901 was wrong. He died after 1905. ** Emily says brother William died when she was so young she could not even remember him so that is a ? date. ==================================================== John P wrote 2 letters, of which I am fortunate to have photocopies, one in 1883 on Nov 17th from San Marcos, Texas. As were many letters in early years, it was full of family, birth, death, etc. He had mentioned in this letter of one of Jane Pyeatt Kellum's bros named John who froze to death in Ark river before they moved from Pulaski C. Ark to Cane Hill in NW part of Arkansas. The letter in 1905 was from Decatur, TX. So btw 1883-1905 he had moved from Hays co to Wise co Tx. He tells of their children, etc. which would place them as adults near turn of century. ===================================================== Well, I have written overlong and hope has not bored you. As you may note I am a genealogy nut (I am 77 yrs old as of Apr 28 and age is extended some leeway) Sincerely, Meredith Gibson I fell asleep watching TV about 10:30 pm & woke up at 4 am and by then wide awake. It is only 5:20 am now)

Welcome to our list Eric. Maybe someone on the list will be able to help you. Please post who your known Kellum ancestors are and where they lived during the time period. That always help to get things started.

Real Estate, died yesterday of complications from breast cancer. She was 59. Mrs. Kellam, who had worked at the Zeitlin firm for 18 years, was known for her work ethic as well as her sensitivity to people she worked with, said her boss, Shirley Zeitlin. While undergoing chemotherapy, ''she would have the treatment on Friday and be back in the office on Monday morning,'' Zeitlin said. Mrs. Kellam was also the person at the firm who organized projects such as United Way contributions or walks for charities, Zeitlin said. She was named one of the Most Powerful Women in Real Estate and Relocation by National Relocation and Real Estate Magazine in 1999. A member of the Tennessee Ornithological Society and Owls Book Club, she also participated in Book 'Em reading programs for children. Survivors include her husband, James R. Kellam III; a daughter, Leigh Jankiv, of Grimsby, Ontario, Canada; a son, Clay Bradley, Nashville; her mother, Mary Margaret Hastings, Nashville; a brother, Keith Hastings, San Francisco; and five grandchildren. Visitation with the family will be 5-7 p.m. Monday at Westminster Presbyterian Church, and a memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the church. The body is being cremated.

Linda, In Virginia Beach, VA there is a Cape Henry. I suspect named for Captain Henry KELLUM. There is a record of Probate for his estate in the mid-late 1700's. I have seen a copy of this and cannot find it. However it is either in Accomack or Norhthampton Co. VA Wills Abstracts. Now everyone on this list is familiar with original land owner Richard KELLUM from same area, much earlier in 1620's etc. I do believe that Capt. Henry KELLUM was a Sea Captain and his ship is most likely traceable in some records somewhere.... Should you turn up something there, could you please contact me with that info? I would appreciate it. Meanwhile I will continue to look for that old Estate document. (For what it is worth I do believe that your Henry is related to a KELLUM /KELLAM directly or indirectly.) Keep pressing on. Try surrounding counties in your broad search. Also military records are fairly good and available sources. They help us to tie a family to a certain place and time.

Contact Rick Kilham.... he has details on Wylliam Kilham ca 1535 and is also researching ancestors of this line. As far as I know he has more knowledge re the early research on this surname group than anyone else!. He is copied on this email... Ron K.

Hello, I am looking for Elizabeth KELLUM who married a Thomas MAFFETT. Their daughter Nancy married a William LONG in Harrison Co., KY in 1823. Elizabeth lived in Harrison Co., KY with her husband Thomas who died there in 1853. Any help in connecting this Elizabeth Kellum to her parents would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, DAvid Anderson danderson@c-zone.net

Hello Listers, I'm not even sure I have a Kellam line. That's what I'm trying to prove (or disprove). My paternal 4th great-grandparents were William and Elizabeth Goddard. They were probably both born c1750-60, possibly in DE or MD. William Goddard died 1818 in Greene Co, PA and Elizabeth died there c1835. Their oldest son's name was Henry Kellam Goddard. Therein lies the reason I'm a member of this list. Is Henry Kellam Goddard named for, perhaps, a grandfather, uncle, cousin, neighbor, etc.? Was Elizabeth Goddard's maiden name Kellam? Henry was born c1780, possibly in DE or MD. Does anyone know of a Henry Kellam who would have lived in Sussex Co, MD or Old Somerset Co, MD that Henry Kellam Goddard would have been named for? I might add that in western PA, on Dunkard Creek, lived a Phineas Kellam/Killen in the 1770's. This is basically the same general area where the Goddards settled c1785. Is there possibly a connection between Phineas Kellam/Killen and Elizabeth Goddard? Any help greatly appreciated. Linda Goddard Stout P.S. My paternal 3rd great-grandfather, a brother to the above Henry Kellam Goddard, was named Joshua Goddard. I know I've seen a Joshua Kellam listed in some DE and/or MD records.

Hello, Does anyone have any info on George Washington Kellam?? He was my great-great grandfather. He was originally from Virginia but settled out east in Conneticut and New York. He also had a son named George Washington Kellam believed to be born in New York and died in Iowa. They are buried in Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. George senior was married to Mary Emmons. Thanks, Mary Kellam

Thank you for your response, Aimee. In your material in Warwickshire and Worcestershire do you have any reference to a William KILLAM(KILHAM or any other spelling of the name) who might have been born around 1535 and then moved away? He is as far back as we have gone and we find him in Suffulk when his children are born. He was married to a Clemens somebody. Thank you, Ruth Killam Harriot

Hi Ruth, The only knowledge I have of early KELLAMs/KILLAMs are out of England. There are lots of them on the IGI at familysearch.org, the LDS website. My particular group were in Warwickshire, in the Ryton on Dunsmore area. I also know of a group from Worcestershire that go way back, but I don't think are related to mine. I'd be interested in what you find, because I know my KELLAM family go way back to the 1400's in Ryton, but I can only document my line to the early 1700's. Once I find the missing link, the rest will fall into place.
