    1. [KELLAM] Jacob's father
    2. Kellam(s)Listers: Traditionally, Jacob (b 1804) has been assigned as son of James (b ca 1780), apparently on the strength of the Taylor bible. This is a questionable lineage. I find no record of James in an 1810 census, but in Crawford Co, IN, in 1820, he had no son born 1804. Isaac (b ca 1791) was also in Crawford Co that year with one male b 1802-1804, one b 1805-1809, and an older woman, probably the mother, b 1775 or before. John (b ca 1790)was in adjacent Orange Co in 1820 with a son b 1801-1810, who was still at home in 1830. The scene shifted to Dubois Co in 1830, where we find John and Jacob in Columbia Twp and Isaac in Hall Twp. There is no known record of James, Jacob's supposed father, ever living in Dubois Co. In 1830 he was in Lawrence Co, IL. Note that neither John nor Isaac were old enough to have had a son born in 1804. This leads to speculation that Daniel Kellems may have had a second wife, the older woman with Isaac and the two boys in 1820, and that all 3, together with John, were sons of Daniel. May we have some discussion on this? Alicia
