I am looking for information on my grandmother's second husband, Solon Ross Kellam. He was the son of Maudie Woods and John Fletcher Kellam. Solon raised my mother, and she loved him dearly. He passed away in July of 1973. I know that Maudie Woods was a school teacher in the Johnson City, Texas area and at one time taught Lyndon Baines Johnson. I also know that John Fletcher Kellam had a barber shop in Austin, Texas, and Clyde Barrow came into the shop one day for a hair cut and a shave. John Fletcher Kellam recognized him, and Clyde Barrow kept a gun pointed at Solon (who was just a little boy at the time)under the barber's cape, so that John Fletcher would cooperate. I would like ANY information on this family, biographical and or genealogical. Solon Ross Kellam married my grandmother, Nova Estelle (Novie) Roberts Stark on November 21, 1949 in Austin, Travis Co., Texas. He raised my mother,Barbara, and they had another child, Anthony Carroll Kellam, on September 26,1953 in Austin, Travis Co., Texas. John Fletcher Kellam and Maudie Woods children were: Winnie Irene Kellam who married Ernest Hobbs, Ruby Kellam, who married 1. Oscar Bishop and 2. Grenade Hunter, and Solon Ross Kellam who married Nova (Novie) Estelle Roberts Stark.

I am looking for anyone with information on KELLUM, Lebbeus b: 1787 in Pennsylvania USA d: 26 OCT 1856 . I would be grateful to hear from anyone with any information. John Kellum ENGLAND

Fair question. Go to Search and enter Rootsweb.com Home Page (or in address: www.rootsweb.org). When it come up, on the left side of the page under Family Trees click on WorldConnect Project. When it comes up, on the left under Search All Databases, enter Kellems, John (or any other Kellams, Kellams, etc.) Click on GO. I just ran through the steps and saw that right now there are 46 entries under John Kellems. Those named "corkor" are ours. Click on any name on any box and follow through the generations as far as they go. Not all go somewhere. You may, from the name box, enter only the surname Kellams (ems, etc)with no given name, and you can follow 610 entries of that variation. Good luck. Take two donuts and a small glass of milk if it doesn't work. Pearce Signup for your FREE ZenSearch E-MAIL account at http://www.zensearch.net and win a Notebook PC

I am Allie Jackson Kellam, an Eastern Shore of Virginia Kellam, and would like to more about my family line. This is the information my father passed on to me. My father was Allie James Kellam whose father was James Twilley Kellam. My great grandfather was Orgal Kellam. Orgal had approximately 10 children of which I think my grandfather, born in 1874, was the youngest. I can remembeer one of my grandfather's sisters having her 100th birthday in the early 1960s. If she was one of Orgal's oldest children then perhaps he was born in the 1830s or early 40s. I don't know if Orgal came to the Eastern Shore or if I am of the original line of Kellam dating back to the 1600s on the Eastern Shore. If anyone knows if this research has already been done and is available, I would appreciate any input. Thanks A. J. Kellam

Hi, I have found so many errors in the older census material, many were illiterate and tried their best for their area, not just the spelling but ages have many times been wrong depending on who the census taker spoke to in the house, also, what state did your husb./wife parents come from is often wrong depending on who answered the question if only one of them was home when the census taker came to the house. Ex.-If husb,/wife said "I think they came from" that is what was written down. Immigrants changed the spelling of their name on a whim if they thought it looked better for whatever reason, we all have seen that occur from our ancestors in whatever country. Let's get a little mad at them for all their spelling changes, not at eachother hundreds of years later! Barbara

What about the New York Kellums? Are there any out there? My Ira Kellum was from Long Island, mid 1800s. One thing I've learned is to go back and try six other spellings of his name. Can you really trace lines by the spelling of the surname when they were often such terrible spellers? Paula

To answer questions: (1)You may look up any name you wish, but must spell it Kellams, Kellems, Kellums, Kelms, or ellms, OR...if you know of, say, a Mary Smith who married a Kellams, you can enter Mary Smith and see what you come up with. Which brings us to another question. (2)Are there NO Kelham or Phinehas/Asa descendants. In a word - NO - unless they are in there by mistake. This is, after all, Descendants of Gilbert Callams/Kellams. The major problem area is Perry Co, IN, where two clans over-lapped slightly, so a few may have sneaked in. (3)Weren't the Kelhams and Phinehas the clans that caused all the name changes? Apparently not. Remember, as far as Phinehas is concerned, he had only one son to produce offspring and populate Kentucky. Gilbert had several sons all busily overpopulating several states. And the record-keepers in those states were operating in a high state of illiteracy. Pearce Signup for your FREE ZenSearch E-MAIL account at http://www.zensearch.net and win a Notebook PC

I personally think that some Kelhams are mistaken about the name Kellum. The difference in the Kellum/ Kellam name will be the mistakes that the scribes and census takers made.

It is hard to imagine there are NO members of either the Eastern Shore Kellam or the New England Kelham lines. I guess I have been wrong in assuming these two groups were the major sources for this multi-spelled surname. Am I miss reading you or do really mean that? Also, you say there are no descendants of the Phineas/Asa line... how about ancestors??? I have a significant file on Asa's descendants but a brick wall in tying Asa to a specific Phineas. Can you help me on this particular line? Ron Kellems (GGGgrandson of Asa)

Some researchers will be helped by a new gedcom which has recently appeared on Rootsweb's Worldconnect. It contains more than 800 names. About 275 are Kellams, about the same are Kellems, a few Kelms and Kellms, and the remainder are spouses. Some documentation is offered for most entries, but the researcher must use the file only as a tool, especially in those cases where primary sources are not used. Eastern Shore and New England Kelham descendants are not included, nor are those of the Phineas/Asa line. If you search the file, you will need to look under each spelling (Kellams, Kellems, Kellums, Kelms, Kellms).

I am not familiar with the lines you list but have you looked at census records etc. for Perry Co, IN? There were Kellems' and other spelling variations in Perry Co. during that period. Ron Kellems
