Fifteen years later he was in Pennsylvania trading with the Delaware Indians. William was one of 4 known sons born 1759 in Southwestern Virginia. William settled in southwestern Pennsylvania. My family descends from William. Out of John's 4 sons, were there any who stayed in Southwest Virginia? I have a James Kell(e)y who was born in Botetourt County, Virginia in 1825. I don't know who his parents were, but maybe it was one of John's children.
