My gggg grandfather Adam Kelly was born in either Ohio or Virginia Abt 1799. I have no idea who his parents or siblings are. Can some one help me? This is my time line: 29 Aug 1823: Married Elizabeth Teale in Botetourt Virginia 1840's: Moved from Rockbridge CO to Cabell (West) Virginia with wife and children James born 1832, Samuel born 1834 married Elizabeth Hensley, Adam born 1836, Peter born 1838, Philip and twin Lucy born 1842.Lucy married Calvin Worster in Keokuk 30 Mar 1862 1850's: Moved to Lee County Iowa with wife and all children BUT Samuel, he stayed in Cabell WV with descendants still there today. 1860: Des Moines, Lee County, Iowa Census listed as living in Iowa with children I assumed he died sometime after 1860 in Iowa. Even though Adam lists himself as being born in Virginia, I have reseonable doubt that he may have been born in Ohio. Please, if anyone knows or can help, let me know. Thanks Ruth

I can't help you but I am also looking for Kelly connections in Botetourt County. My ggg grandfather James J. Kelly was born August 16, 1818 apparently in Botetourt County, VA He married Elizabeth Fout in Botetourt County February 18, 1838. According to my granny, they lived around Natural Bridge. Soon after they were married, they moved with Elizabeth Fout's parents and probably other extended family members from the Fout family to Rhea County, TN. I have some information about the ancestry of Elizabeth Fout (and her mitonchondrial DNA report which assigns her to the H clan). I do not know the parents of James Kelly. James J. Kelly's sons (with Elizabeth Fout) were John Wesley, William Scott, James Asbury, Thomas Jefferson, and Jacob Marion Kelly (sounds more like a famous person naming pattern rather than one that might give clues as to James' father's name.) Sons with his second wife Lizzie Martin were George Arthur, Moten Columbus, and Alvin Leonard. Daughters with Elizabeth Fout were Mary Jane (my gg grandmother), Nancy Ann, Margaret Elizabeth, Susan, Catherine America, Ellen Brown, and Emma Adelia. Eventually a contingent of the above siblings went to Texas and others stayed in Tennessee. I have been in touch with others researching this Kelly family and, to my knowledge, no one has been able to connect James to a Kelly family to date. I recently received a notice of a reunion of the Texas family to be held in Texas in October. I can put anyone in touch with the organizers if you write to me privately with your relationship to the family.
