Hi There, I'm afraid there's no connection between my KELLAM ancestors and the GUNNs. GUNTLET actually comes from the name GAUNTLETT, and is usually a misspelling, along with it's other variations. There's also no relation between my KELLAM ancestors and my GAUNTLETT ancestors. The KELLAMs go back on my Grandmother's side and the GAUNTLETTs go back on my Grandfather's side, and both come from different parts of England. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
