My Daniel Kelley was from California, I believe, at least that`s what the marriage licence states. Do you know when your Daniel Kelley was born? I figured mine was born about 1882 . Where I`m not sure ! He married my Grandmother in Williamson County, Illinois in December of 1926. My Dad was born in November of 1927 and Daniel had left before he was born. My Dad`s name is Loren Willis Kelly . Somewhere down the line they left the " e " out of Kelley. So we spelled it Kelly! If I can help you at all you can e-mail me at: [email protected] Thank You, Kathy
