Someone told me that there was a Kellum in this lineage. I will get back with her and ask where she got her information. Maybe she too, just heard of it, or maybe she might have some information. It will take a few days as my uncle Everett Kellum died this week. Yours, Charlotte Kellum Underwood

Thank you Ron, I always enjoy you imput! JK

Kate, My research has brought me in touch with "a" William KELLAM with a possible son John out of NC. I have been following this line for a long while and still have not finalized it. May I ask where your proximate dates are derived from, because these would be good dates for "this" William I hereby refer too...Brenda Kellam Schilling -----Original Message----- From: geniekate <snooks1@frontiernet.net> To: KELLAM-L@rootsweb.com <KELLAM-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, August 25, 2000 10:29 AM Subject: [KELLAM] Wm Kellam 1711 son John >William Kellam b. ca 1711 - 1773 and Rachel Stanton?

Stephenson was born in 1838 after his father died in 1831. However, I went back and rechecked the web site given, and this is what it said. This is an obvious mistake, though, because it also said that M. P. Stephenson and Sophia Todd were married on 4 April 1837 in Wake Co, NC. If this is any indication, then maybe JK is correct, and is is not the 5th cousin, once removed, of the VP. Sorry about the mistake, and my apologies to JK, Ron

It seems as if someone is transposing some information about Nancy Kellum. It is true that she was the daughter of Smith Kellum of Wake North Carolina, but I have not seen any connection to the Stephenson's. I doubt that this information is correct as it would have Nancy seven years younger than Edward, the first born son of Smith Kellum and Polly Parker. Sounds like someone is having fun, but if they want AL Gore, this set of Kellum's may willingly give him up. 4th Great Grandson of Smith Kellum JK

Ron, Thank you for finding this online! I have heard this also. How interesting indeed! Charlotte Kellum Underwood

Hello to the Kellum group: You just never know where the Smith Kellum bunch will turn up, do you? Please do not take this as an endorsement of any sort, but while wandering around on the Internet recently I saw an item that I thought would be of interest to the list. I have no idea if this is correct, but there was a posting indicating that Smith Kellum was the 5th-great grandfather of Vice President Al Gore on his maternal side, as outlined below: Smith Kellum/Nancy or Mary Nancy Kellum (1780-1851)/Jonathan Stephenson (1760-1801) Mann Patterson Stephenson (1814-1831)/Sophia Todd Malcus A. Stephenson (1838-1916)/Annie Joyner Luna Stephenson (1867-1938)/Simpson W. Lafon Walter Lafon/Maude Gallin Pauline Lafon/Albert Gore, Sr It was said that Nancy Kellum was born on Nov. 12 1780 in VA and died on 11 May 1851 in Weakley Co, TN. She was said to have married Jonathan Stephenson on 5 Sept 1801 in Wake Co, NC. He had been born on 11 Jan 1760 in Cumberland Co, NC. Perhaps someone on the list who has a greater knowledge of the Smith Kellum family can tell us if they think that this could be correct. Do the surnames of Mann or Patterson have any connection to the Kellum family, or did this given name of Mann Patterson for the son of Nancy Kellum come from the Stevenson side of the family? I do believe that old Smith Kellum would be a little surprised to see his name magically appear on one of these computer boxes, compliments of the Internet which his 5th-great grandson invented, don't you think? My best regards, Ron Bullock P.S. This ancestry as posted was a little hard to follow, so someone might like to double check me on this by having a look at: http://hometown.aol.com/elrondlair/page3.htm

Ruth and Rick, Thank you very much for the information. My great grandma was Dorothy Maude Florea, daughter of Lenorah Ellen Killam. Dorothy married Grover Cleveland Thompson, their daughter is my grandma who's still living. Ruth, any information on the Florea family would be wonderful also. Rick it looks very likely that I will be taking some vacation time in October, and plan on travelling to New England to site see and do some research in person. I've never been back there and look forward to it very much. I did find a Civil War pension record for Elias Cornelius, and know about one of his brothers William Endicott. Any further information on the other siblings would be great also. Thanks again for all the information and help. Tim Tim Sherman TimDS1957@aol.com Portland OR

Dear Nancy: My wife has a note in her Kellam materials that indicates that John Purnell Kellam married Elizabeth Stanley on 7 Sep 1792 in Guilford Co., NC. It's 2:40 AM, so I can't ask her about her source, but would guess it is from the fiche on NC marriages. \Allan E. Green

I just located part of my Kellam records which were lost during a move last year. I don't have very much information about John and Dicy but know that he was a brother to my Gr-Gr-Grandfather Nathan Kellam. I thought it had been proven they were the sons of John Purnell Kellam, however I cannot find any documentation at this time to support that theory. Does anyone have proof of their parentage? Have you seen the book written by Cora Kidd Jones in1927, titled KELLAM FAMILY? It is written about the Calvin Kellam family I believe. I have parts of it copied. Have you seen the letter written by John Kellam in IN to his sister-in-law, Hannah McCuiston and her husband of NC? It is on file with the Guilford Co. NC Historical Society. Ruth Killam Harriot wrote that John died in Hamilton, IN. Was that Hamilton or Hamilton Co.?Nathan died in Hamilton Co, IN but lived in Henry Co., IN for a time. Some of John's descendents also lived in Delaware Co., IN I believe. Nancy Kellam Weston lsweston@indy.net

Tim, Today I located my file which includes data on your GG Grandmother. At the moment, I am not able to tell you exactly from where I secured the information. Anyway, she and John William H. Florea were married 24 February 1889. They had ten children: Constance S., Fred Leonard, Dorothy Maude, Charles Jean, Hope Elizabeth, Clara Faith, John Rosevelt, Susan Ruth and Bruce R. They were born between 1890 and 1908. Which one was you great grandparent? I was trying to figure also which were your grandparents and parents. I could not find YOUR surname in the files I have, so your father's name is obviously not there. Your Mother's may be --- actually should be, because most of the children are listed down to her generation. If you do not have much on these people, I can give you more after a week or so because I will be traveling for about the next 7 or 8 days. Talk with you soon. Ruth Killam Harriot Thought I had lost this, but will send it anyway. Please pardon the repitition. RKH
