    1. [KELLEY] Kelly Bounty Land Warrant - James Kelly
    2. Paula Kelley Ward
    3. A Bounty Land Warrant for a James Kelly has been found, misfiled - a clerical error - in another James Kelly's Revolutionary War Application files. The complete information on the Warrant: JAMES KELLY PRIVATE MARYLAND LINE WARRANT #11414 ACREAGE 100 ISSUED FEBRUARY 1, 1790 There is no other information on the Warrant. Unfortunately, we do not know where the land was located; it may have been in Maryland. Since it was misfiled in a Tennessee file, it could be for land in Tennessee. Thank you to George Kelly, one of our listers, for providing a copy of the Warrant. George commented: "I hope someone can identify this James Kelly and if bounty land in TN was claimed it would help clarify the multi-James Kelly's in the TN Census; 1830-40 range." "This was included in "Page 43" of my 4th Ggrandfather's Rev. War Pension Application Files. It is NOT his, a clerical mistake evidently. I have no ancestors from Maryland that I know."
