My Most Wanted Kelly.....HHHMmmmm....so many but, I think the one I wish to find the most is the ancestry of John W. (I think William) KELLY b. abt. 1813 in PA according to census records. He moved to GA about 1824. Has 3 brothers and 4 sisters according to bio, parents came from Ireland prior to 1800. John and wife Sarah (she might go by Caroline or Carrie) are found in the 1842 Muscogee County, GA Marriage Records, had a child in Russell County, AL in 1843, in the 1850 Muscogee County, GA Census with three children, 1860 Macon County, AL Census. I know nothing of him after this or prior to this, other than he was a boat captain, I imagine on the Chattahoochee River between Columbus, GA and Russell County, AL......
