Hello all, Ed's message encouraged me to send my Kelly (-ey) most wanted. Mine is also from East Tennessee. He was married in McMinn Co., TN. I have been told that family tradition has him killed by bushwackers during the Civil War, however there is an odd ring to this. They also say that his young son (Prob. James Glaspy Kelly witnessed the murder). Peculiar. I have found one relative online searching for the same family and he know's a bit more than me but both of us are stumped as to how and where to continue. So, here goes my most wanted: Tyre Kelly born 1820 m. 1-4-1839 in McMinn Co., TN to Delily Emmerson (her tombstone has Delilah on it). Delilah was born in 1818. There children are as follows: Polly Ann b. 1841 Louisa E. b. 1842 Susanna C. b. 1843 James Glaspy b. 1844 (he married Margaret Angeline Taylor) Lina Elizabeth b. 1846 (my ancestress - she married Anthony Brouayer) Martha b. 1850 Andy b. 1852 John b. 1855 Catherine b. 1858 Any information will be greatly appreciated! I'm at a dead end. Thia Edkelley@aol.com wrote: > James M. KELLY/KELLEY b c1800, m Anna H (?) b 1805. If these Kellys > below look > kind of familiar please contact me.
