Dear Joseph: I cannot tell whether I could help you or not, as the only information you gave about the person about which you were inquiring was the name of a Hundred. It would make it much easier to identify a person with such a common name if you furnished dates -- even approximate ones, and any other information that you might have. My wife has Kellum ancestry from Somerset County, MD, in the 17th and 18th C., including some John Kellums. However, since I have no idea where Bogerternorton Hundred is or was, I have no possible way to know whether or not my information would be of any use to you. Allan E. Green

Hi list, Who can tell me about this guy? He's my 8th or 9th Great-Grandfather. Thanks... Joseph Smith- descendant of Anne Arundel Co. SMITHs of the 1600's. Other connected surnames: Holland, Waters, Purnell, Child, Arnold, Thomas, Selby, Giles, White, Richardson, Edmonston, et al.

I am sure most of us are still here. Just busy with other surnames or projects.

Greetings to the Kellam list: I came across a searchable internet site recently for NC soldiers in the War of 1812. There were at least six listed, and I doubt that there will be anything new here, but the search caused me to realize anew the research problems caused by the many variation found for the Kellam name. When you do a search, you only get the exact name that you ask for. The six names that I found came from four different name variations that I tried, and there might have been others that I missed. I was surprised not to find any listing for Killiam and other variations of the Kill beginning. Those found were as follows: Name County   Samuel Kellum Guilford Isma Kellum Wake Robert Calum Wake David Kellam Rockingham Sion Callum Bladen Augustus Callum Bertie Most of those on the list come from areas and families that have been discussed on the list from time to time. However, I don’t recall that we have spoken very often of the Bertie Co. families. I have done some research there on other family lines and have noticed the name of Callum on several occasions. The first mention was on a tax list of 1757 where Edward Callum was named. Found on the 1790 census were Willis Callum and David Callum. Willis Callum made his will in 1816 in which he mentioned children: Edward A. Callum, Hezekiah W. Callum, and Polly G. Callum. I am wondering if Edward A. Callum might have been the Augustus Callum from Bertie Co. who served in the War of 1812. Because I have seen no other Callum in the early Bertie records, I am assuming that Edward of 1757 was the father of Willis and David of 1790. Willis appeared to have two sons over 16 in the census of 1790, which would place his marriage back to 1772 or before and his birth back to 1750 or before. This would likely mean that Edward Callum of 1757 Bertie was born by 1725 or before. Does anyone know who this Edward is, or see an Edward not accounted for at such an early date? I do see where an Edward Kellam of Accomack, VA, made his will in 1736 naming sons as Edward, John, Richard, and Arthur, but I have no idea what happened to this Edward. My best regards to all, Ron

Hi sheila Can't find your address..isn't it about time orders for book are due??? paula

Hi There, I'm a Kellam descendent that lives in Ontario. My branch of the Kellam family originated in Ryton on Dunsmore, Warwickshire in England and I've been able to go back more than 200 years. However, the Kellam name is a maternal link for me with my GGGrandmother Ann Kellam. Most of them moved away from Ryton to different parts of England, Australia and North America and it's quite a job finding them. I'd love to hear from any descendents.

BKS I think that you are right on track as this family is closely related. I have no resources in South Carolina at the time except the information at my local library and the internet. I think that Smith Kellum of Wake County NC was a brother to this bunch. I am looking at John Kellum & Annie Smith as the parents of Smith Kellum of Wake County,NC Jk

Dear JK and Firehair, As you may remember I have been researching the NC- VA- GA elusive Elijah KELLAM. I believe he had a brother William as well as others... however, in early NC records William and Elijah are recorded with land deeds. I believe that John, George , Job, Seth are either sons of either of them and or/nephews. I have tried and tried to connect these guys (c. 1750-60's-70's) in with the Rockingham group; however as of yet totally UNSUCCESSFUL. David Seth KELLAM is a name that runs distinctly through the GA line, (EVEN PRESENTLY) so I have always "hoped" that something would turn up on the Rockingham group. Just nothing yet. I do believe that the AL- MS-TX-MO lines are however related to the NC- GA-VA bunch. Surely wish we could confirm one way or the other how these lines go. It is frustrating to be going around and around like this so. I would love to have the lines completely figured out so that we could have a hugh family reunion and see the different lines. JK do you have any resources in SC. Firehair, I have posted and posted queries on the SC lines or connections and still have had NO responses. Love to you both, and I wish all a verrry Merry Christmas !

Wasn't a heck of a lot, however. did you see that? think it was at least 3 months back. William, with the kids, and the McDaniel wife, came out of PA, proven, by family records / land deeds. If this is the one you think GA Elijah is his brother---hmm. And, Moses is a common name among the Pike/Wayne Co. PA out of CT via Zadock, s/o John--Preston Ct---grp. It doesn't appear the Rockingham batch from William of VA were tied to the Guilford Co. out -of- VA -mainly- Quaker -desc. -batch. Not even an over cross marriage. This soup thickens into a stew.
