Kate kindly sent me this to correct the errors in the posting I sent out earlier. The separation of facts were done by me for ease in dissembling. Lots of goodies in the following, re: source material to check out for those of you doing these lines. many thanks, Kate! Sheila: You have this Samuel hooked up wrong. He is my GG Grandfather. I got to looking over all the data you put out just about the time of all the reunions after I got home. I Have pictures of his & Ann's along with son Nathan & Rachel & Alma Kellum grave sites (Salem, IA (Salem Friends Cemetery North Side). Have Land description papers from Lee Co. Iowa. Have Heiss Quaker Records, Have Seen Records at Earlham College in Indiana.of Iowa records...(I think I did photo copy those too. There is a history of this Samuel Kellum[ b. 21 Sep 1794 in Rowan Co. NC. He died in Dec 1848 at his home in Lee Co. Iowa. He was a Hatter.by trade .He assisted his brother-in-law with free trade and the underground railroad. as. I started to say there is a history of this family and cousins pioneering into what was Blackhawk Territory in 1838. (the year he sold the land in Ohio) and others in about the 1905-09 Western Works of the Friends Church. (His daughter-in-law Rachel Maxwell Kellum wrote them up) She was a minister in the Salem, Iowa group, and at Iowa Yearly Meeting. Have land notations from Western Ohio. They came with township # instead of township names, so have to check that out. Have Bible pages copy with copy right page etc. of Noah Kellum & Esther Hiatt --- This Noah is Samuel's Father. & Mother. Family Histories that are part of the Plainfield Public Library and Historical Society in Danville Indiana further document this. There is another Samuel Kellum b. ca 1737, and d. Sussex County Delaware 11 Aug 1786. that was the Father of Noah. He married Mary Ward He owned a plantation according to Noah's notes, and he also marred Prudence Vaughn. Noah and Esther pioneered the Fairfield Friends Church along with the Jessups in 1821. (This documented with written Church History...There has always been a Kellum a member since then). They first were in what is part of Wayne Co. Indiana just north of Richmond and east of the Coffin lands in the Fountain City area (now on Route #27) The Kellum land would have been on what is now route #227. I have found errors in George Hiatt's History. Regarding the Kellum Births and lines. In one case he has a female linked up as a male. Gross error ---! If you wish to post to the list that is fine with me. Yours in Family Projects :) Kate Kellum Billett// snooks1@frontiernet.net
