My reasons for speculating Elijah of GA may well be the same man as Elijah with ONLY record of b. in PA--same time--are: One entire line of Kellam came from PA to Rockingham area of NC. A few of those made it into lower SC, some are not accounted for. Boundaries were very fluid. We have Ga to Preble migration, the Preble Kellam can be documented to the Wayne/Pike Co. area. We have an Elijah in Preble-from GA--Elijah is not common naming for the most part. (wish they'd all used some really different ones, or at least a numbering system--<G>) We hae a couple of early PA men without enough adult children to acount for records. Just moving the "chess pieces" around a bit. Speculation is thrown out to change thought patterns--like the C & W song says, "Loking for Love, in all the wrong places". Soon as someone PROVES where Elijah came from, who he belongs to, and it isn't PA, ---I'm dead wrong. Quite happily so---it eliminates one more question. Safe and good Holidays to each and all Sheila // Firehair

Firehair, Why would you suppose that this Elijah that you say moves from PA into GA is the SAME person ???? I do NOT agree. As you know I follow the Southern lines pretty closely and I am not yet convinced. Perhaps you have something more we can speculate on. Happy Holidays !

Bill, Your 1778 George was born in Waltham on the Wolds in Leics. and many CA Kellams derive from the same source.I am Australian and most AU kellams go back to Waltham line but 2 generations later.I can give you line back to 1585 but I received it 24 yrs ago from Richard Cheney of Wesleyville, Pa. and I'll let the the Nth.American Kellams make informed contact with you.

Here is a positive story on a KELLAM! To view the entire article, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58755-2000Nov26.html Janet Kellam, Ridge Elementary in St. Mary's County By Nancy Trejos Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, November 26, 2000 ; Page M03 Three Southern Maryland principals were among 18 school administrators honored last week with The Washington Post's Distinguished Leadership Awards. The honors are given annually to those educators who day after day go beyond the expectations of their highly demanding professions to create exceptional educational environments. At Monday's awards ceremony Post Chairman Donald E. Graham noted that a common theme for many of those recognized was the principals' high aspirations for their schools and students. Janet Kellam began her education career at Ridge Elementary, and that is exactly where she says she probably will end it. There were stops at other schools, but eventually all roads led back to Ridge, where Kellam also lives. "I've made a complete circle," she said. Her journey began in 1969, when she became a classroom teacher at Ridge after raising her four children. After five years, she moved on to teach at Lexington Park and Carver elementary schools. In 1983, she switched to the administrative end, becoming a principal at Park Hall Elementary. She was principal of one other St. Mary's school before returning to Ridge Elementary in 1993. "It was exciting to come back to the community I lived in," she said. Kellam was born in the District and grew up in Montgomery County. She and her husband moved to St. Mary's County after he grew enchanted with the area during his frequent fishing trips there. Being a mother is what inspired Kellam to pursue teaching. While her children were in school, she was a regular volunteer. "As a parent of four children, I had to be interested in education," she said. That interest led her to pursue a bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctorate in education from the University of Maryland. As principal of Ridge, Kellam said she has one main objective. "As far as students are concerned, we have to help them develop into responsible, productive citizens," she said. She said she has tried to do that by helping create an after-school program for students in grades 3 to 5. "We have to help children develop some responsible, gainful ways to occupy their non-school time so that ultimately they will not choose negative alternatives," she said. At Ridge, she also has helped implement a reading incentive program; overseen a pilot program that created a group of teachers, psychologists and counselors to discuss ways to help students at risk of failure; and initiated policies to give staff members more responsibilities in making internal decisions. "I really believe that you need to listen to your staff," she said. "I get good ideas from them." At 67, Kellam could retire but she has no intention of doing that just yet. She does, however, believe that after Ridge, there is nowhere else she wants to go. "I think coming back to Ridge as a principal," she said, "is probably the last stop in my career." © 2000 The Washington Post

I found a family tree with Joshua Kellam b. unknown d. 4/3/1761 in Coventry Parish, MD.on the Ancestry.com records It shows spouse unknown. Parents John Kellam Jr and Jone Lane. I believe this to be the missing link in my line of Nathan Kellam, son of John Purnell Kellam and Esther Canaday; son of John Kellam and Sarah Outten. We have suspected Joshua was the father but have no documentation. Does anyone have this information? Their line goes back to John Purnell but does not list Nathan as a son. The submitters of the file are theshindles@altavista.com. I have information that Nathan was the son of John Parnell; b. 1/11/1814 in Guilford Co. NC taken from a family Bible by Connie Kellam and also the Archives of Hopewell Monthly Meeting. I am most eager to connect this line. Nathan was my Gr-Gr Grandfather. Thanks Nancy (Kellam) Weston

The reason for my questions is that they are not of the same family. The purported connection between Daniel, James, Jacob, etc., to the Accomack Co, VA, clan is incorrect, being "made of whole cloth," and it would be an unfortunate genealogical error to publish it as anything else.

where would I submit info for the Kellam book (Eastern shore line)? Thanks! Diane Kellam

Do I understand that a Kellum book is now in print? Does it show the ancestry of the Kellams-Kellems families of Crawford, Dubois, and Orange Counties, IN? Does it show those families connected to the Accomack Co, VA, Kelham line? Pearce StLeger Signup for your FREE ZenSearch E-MAIL account at http://www.zensearch.net

Ron, forgot to give you above email address for Sheila who is putting out the Kellem/Kellam/Kellum book, she said her deadline for info for her is Jan. 15. Barbara

Ron, I think it was Sheila you were last referring to and asking the question about line of Asa, I have not worked on the Kellum line long, only to William Kellum b. 1820 in Pike Co. PA, I am great-granddaughter of Moses A. and Samantha J. Kellum , m. abt. 1844 in Peble Co. Ohio, both died in Steamboat Rock, Iowa. If you are from this line will you get back to me on info you have, thanks. Barbara

Hi Barbara, I am searching for a Phineas Killam that was in SW PA in the late 1700s. He owned land in the Ten Mile Creek area of SW PA and also on Dunkard Creek in what is now Monongalia (sp) Co, WV. very near the PA state line. He died ca 1805 or earlier. He apparently had a son named Asa that eventually moved to Hardin Co, Ky. Do you have access to vital stats. for PA ....birth, death, marriage or census records for PA for the last half of the 1700s? I have not been able to prove it yet but have a strong hunch this Phineas is a descendant of Zadock K. who moved with several other sons to Paupack, Pike Co, Pa. in the late 1700s. Do you have any leads that could help me in this search. Thanks for your time and any help you can provide. Ron Kellems GGGgrandson of Asa

Hello Linda and Harney, Glad you wrote about the price, I think it was $40, the writer is-----firehair2@aol.com I am in the line also, great-graddaughter of Moses A. and Samantha J. Kellum of Iowa. Do you have the new email address of Carolyn Miller, also in the line but address posted back in July not valid now and she is in our line also. Barbara

None that I know off. My line of the Kellam/um name has no offshoots after 1801.
