I too am looking for lost Kellys in Va. My Alexander was born 1755 Queen and King County, moved to and raised a family in NC before 1778. In early 1800's they moved to Georgia and in 1850's some of the family moved to Arkansas. Our line used the Gaelic system of naming children, so every other generation has an Alexander, an Andrew, a Hiram, and other family names, some after Presidents for a middle name, ie, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, etc.. That is the only coincidence I can see in your query and, too my knowledge, none of our line moved to Missouri. Still, am willing to exchange information in case more coincidences show up. Thanks.
