I had not been on-line over the weekend...not to belabor the issue but I have an interesting name variation that I've wondered about and perhaps someone may be able to assist with. My immigrant ancestor, Edward Kelley, arrived in the colonies in 1771. His ship originated in Rotterdam and he boarded in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. I don't know where his family was from. His Rev. War. muster record show his name spelled two ways - Kelliah in the early listing and Kelley later on (Pennsylvania Archives info). Legal documents of a later time have Kelley and Kelley it has been since. The stories of retaining the 'ey' go back to at least my gr.gr. grandfather who served in the Civil War. I would appreciate any information on the Kelliah variation. Linda Kelley Winkler
