I thought I saw somebody asking about this JONES/KELLY union. Hope it helps somebody ! Jones, John Tecumseh The 20th Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans, Vol.6, p.140 JONES, John Tecumseh, clergyman, was born in Canada, Jan. 1, 1800. He was a half-breed Chippewa Indian. He was educated at Madison university, N.Y., and was adopted by the Ottawa tribe of Indians. He married Jane Kelly, a native of Maine, who was a missionary among the Ottawa Indians in Franklin county, Kansas Territory. He was a co-worker with Mr. Meeker in organizing Baptist churches in Kansas, and organized the First Baptist church of Ottawa, which, in 1860, had nearly one hundred baptized Indian members. The Baptist convention at Atchison, Kan., in October, 1880, through the suggestion of Mr. Jones, organized the Roger Williams university on the Ottawa reservation, the Indians [p.141] presenting the land through an act of congress setting apart 20,000 acres of the reservation for an institution of learning, and Mr. Jones and three other Indians with two white men constituted the first board of trustees. In August, 1862, they authorized the sale of 5000 acres at $1.25 per acre to establish the school. On April 21, 1865, a new charter was obtained by I.S. Kalloch, C.C. Hutchinson, John G. Pratt, James Wind, William Hurt, Joseph King and John Tecumseh Jones as petitioners, and at the request of the Indians the name Ottawa was substituted for Roger Williams, and Ottawa university began its career with I.S. Kalloch as president. Mr. Jones died in Ottawa, Kan., Aug. 16, 1872, and his widow returned to East North Yarmouth, Maine, where she resided in 1901. David A.
