David - My particular brick is James Kellam. I found the following birth record in the "Coventry Parish Records 1736 to 1828 (Somerset County, MD) copied by Mrs. Helen Bowie Clary, Published by Mrs. Mary Turpin Layton - Kellam, James son of Samual & Mary b. Aug. 22, 1763 The dates are wrong, but it may be a useful data point. - Woody -----Original Message----- From: oliver shagnasty [mailto:OLIVERSHAGNASTY1@email.msn.com] Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2001 6:11 PM To: KELLAM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Samuel Kellam Brick Wall I am having problems finding documentation on my Samuel. What I have was passed on to me from the Kellam reunion held in Guildford County, NC each year. The research was done I think by Mark Stewart who passed away a few years ago. Samuel Kellam b. abt 1770-1771 s/o John Kellam b 1743 d 1805 m Sarah Outtens on Feb 24 1762 b May 7 1743 Samuel m ??? Children ---- James Elizabeth Charles b 1797 John b 1802 Nelson b Jun 21 1807 d Oct 9 1882 bur. in Holt's Chapel Cem. Greensboro, NC m Sept 6 1827 to Rosina May b June 11 1806 d May 1 1882. She was the daughter of John May and Sarah Hunter. I have doc. on Nelson but still nothing connecting him to Samuel. As I said before, this was passed on to me from Mark Stewart. There are some ?? as to if Samuel was born in Guildford County NC or Somerset County MD. Also where he may have died. I have seen it posted that he may ??? have returned to Md from NC and bought land there. Nothing at all on who he married. The only real documentation I have on Samuel is John's will. Any Help???
