Hi all, I had Kelly/Kelleys in TN and I have found it spelled both ways in different places... The family was only in one census that I can find, but the name from that and from deeds, and from marriage records, etc. it was shown both ways, so I don't believe it mattered in my Kelley family. Not sure where my Kelley's came from before I found them in TN. I believe as far as censuses go, it is up to how the enumerator decided it should be spelled or how it sounded to be spelled to them. Don't know if this helps at all or not, but had to tell what I had seen.
