Hello All! Unfortunately, I'm bouncing off a similar brick wall. I am looking for the family of Tyre (could be spelled Terry) Kelly (ey) b. ca. 1820 m. 04 Jan 1839 at McMinn County, Tennessee to Delilah EMMERSON b. ca. 1818. One of their sons has the middle name Glaspy which may mean that there was a Gillespie (or some such spelling) connection at one time. Maybe the two of us along with another couple of cousins should start a secret society of McMinn Co. Kelly(ey)s. They do seem to be a secretive lot. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
