Hi Gayle Seems like a couple of people are looking for your elusive John Kelley. Following is some information I sent to another on this mail list in response to his question about a William Kelley & Rebecca Jennings in my line and also concerning William's brother, John Kelley, that has the same birth year as your John Kelley... Ryamond, William & Rebecca were married in 1779, probably Albermarle Parish of Surry or Sussex Co VA. I don't have any data on his brother John other than his birth date. The informtion I have about John & Elizabeth's children comes from the Albermarle Parish of Surry and Sussex Co VA birth records. Those records were supplied to me by Linda Cheek <LGCheek@aol.com>. The details she supplied me with are: Mary d/o John and Eliza Kelly b. 18 Dec (prob 1747 ?) bap ca 1748 Patty d/o John Kelly and wife Eliza b. 30 March 1749 Susanna d/o John Kelly and wife Elisa b. 16 Feb 1750 Godparents: Thomas Huson, Mary Winfield, Eliza Curtis Elizabeth d/o John Kelly and Eliza b. 16 May 1752 GDP Thomas Hunt, Susanna Richarson, Eliza Nans Sylvia d/o John and Elisa Kelley b. 5 April 1754 no GDP William Kelley son of John and Elisa b. 6 April 1758 no GDP Anna d/o John and Elisa Kelley b. 16 Oct 1759 GDP Edward Harper, Anne Harper, Elisa Morgan Lucretia d/o John Kelly and wife Elisa b. 2 May 1762 Godparents: James Greenway, Patty Greenway and Mary Norris. John Kelley son of John and wife Eliza b. 12 Dec 1765 godparents: David Tucker, Lawrence Gibbons Jr and Mary Kelly. Then in another note to him, I wrote.... A follow-up to you on this and my previous note. I have no verification of this as of yet but I suspect that my John Kelley, his kids and their wifes migrated into NC and then William, along with maybe some of the others, moved on to SC around 1779. If this is the case, then it is possible that my John Kelley and his son, John, are the same ones you are looking for. Gaylesbill@aol.com wrote: > > Howdy folks, > My most wanted Kelley is ...
