A fellow Kelley-hunter sent me an answer on a queri once, stating that all kelley's must be either enlisted in the secret service or part of the witness protection program, because there is no information on any of them! I am starting to believe it......... I got lots of Possibles and tons of Maybes, but no "Hey, thats the one I need".. I ran into a THICK brick wall on our greatgrandfather. Timothy James Kelley born about 1856, possibly in PA (His father was presumably born and married there) married Louise Wilhelmine Johanna Sietmann in Rhodes IA. She died in Marshalltown IA (b 7 may 1821 in Germany) and nobody knows when or where Timothy died..... Timothy's father was George W. Kelley, born around 1818 in PA, died abt 1878 possibly in IA and married Rexana (no last name b. 17 june 1813 New York d. after 1880 possibly in IA) around 1836 possibly in PA. I have no siblings names on either, or even how many there were. If any of this rings even the tiniest of bells, PLEASE let me know. :-) Thanks for "listening", and even if this doesn't pan out, I enjoy the list, and keep hoping that someday, somehow, the information I gather now, will put me a little further up the tree.....
