Hi Everyone, I have put much thought to this puzzle. Who are the parents for Margaret Mclain? A marriage record in Jefferson County, Ohio shows, William Kelly married a Margaret McClean on June 26, 1806. I also found a Thomas Parmore who married a Mary McClane on October 25, 1808. Since both these ladies must of had parents in the same location at the time of thier marriage I went checking Census records. And this is what I found. Census taken from Tax records in Jefferson County, Ohio show; James McClain 1807 Knox Township page 35* James McClain 1808 Knox Township page 53 James McClain 1809 Knox Township page 34* James McClain 1810 Knox Township page 80* John McClain 1807 Knox Township page 35* John McClain 1809 Knox Township page 34* John McClain 1810 Knox Township page 80* James McClane 1807 Wayne Township page 30 NOTE: The first James and John are on the same page for the same year census. Interesting fact that William & Margaret (Mclain) Kelly named thier children using the same first names. Children of William & Margaret Kelly b. 1807 Elizabeth Kelly in Ohio b. 1809 Mary Kelly in Ohio b. 1813 John Barrett Kelly in Ohio b. 1817 Martha S. Kelly in Ohio b. 1819 James M.T. Kelly in Ohio b. 1821 Leah Rebecca Kelly ? b. 1825 William Calvin Kelly ? b. 1828 Benjamin F. Kelly ? Could the Mary McClane who was married two years later in the same county in Ohio be the sister to Margaret Mclain?? Could the James or John McClain in the census records for dates soon after these marriages be the father?? Seems Likely if you ask me!!!!!!!! always researching, Tom Kelly

Tom: There is a reference to a Lawrence Kelley in "The History of Cumberland County, PA" by Rev. Conway P. Wing. Can't recall what it says because there is no connection to myself, but I do have the name and township, E. Pennsborough, written in my notes. This history is an old one, and probably available only at libraries and historical societies. Perhaps one of them would do a lookup for you. Kathy Kelly

When I was born a good friend of his (who was also the Justice of the Peace that married my parents) was trying to do something for which he needed my fathers Birth certificate. After looking through the records, he came to my father with 5 legal documents, all with different birth years. My brother has my father listed as two years older than I do on our BC. I know one reason he faked one was to get a job when he was 14, but he never really explained the rest. Makes looking for records really interesting!

I reside in New Zealand and would like to hear from any descendants of ELEANOR KELLY (OR KELLEY) (nee Mylroie) who emigrated to Lancashire with her children from the Isle-of-Man around 1879 on the death of her husband (ROBERT) in a mining accident in LAXEY in 1875. In 1881 she was resident with her son JAMES KELLY (b. 1863) (plumbers apprentice) at 3 Berkeley Street, Burnley. Her eldest son, JOHN JAMES KELLY (b. 1849) had emigrated earlier and in 1881 resided at 45 Brunswick Terrace, Haslingden and later is known to have resided at 23 Beaconsfield Street, Haslingden, and in 1916 was connected with the Haslingden Guardian. The other children were: WILLIAM ARTHUR (1852) (joiner), THOMAS (1854), ROBERT (1856), EDWARD (1858) (a joiner), and ELEANOR ANN (1860). ELEANOR KELLY senior already had a sister (ANNE (1843-1923), wife of Richard Smith) living in the Haslingden area. I would very much like to hear from anyone researching any member of this family.

Hello Listers: Thomas Kelly, my Great Great Grandfather (born abt. 1801 & died 28, April, 1891), according to the Ontario Census of 1871 was of Irish origin; of the Anglican {Church of England} religion; and his occupation was that of a labourer. One of his fifteen (15) children; James Kelly, my Great Grandfather, was born 09, September, 1838 in Burritt's Rapids, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada. I have discovered that Thomas Kelly resided just south of Burritt's Rapids in Oxford-on-Rideau Township, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada, according to the Oxford-on-Rideau Township Assessments of 1840 on Lot 6, Concession 4, 100 acres! Because he is buried in Christ Church Anglican Cemetery in Burritt's Rapids, Oxford-on-Rideau Township, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada & beacause he resided on Lot 7, Concession 3, 100 acres, according to the Oxford-on-Rideau Township/Grenville County/Ontario/Canada Census of 1861, I suspect he was one of the Irish immigrants who helped to build the Rideau Canal! John Mac Taggert was sent from Scotland to be the Clerk of Works on the canal project & wrote a book about his experiences ["Three Years in Canada"]. This book included reports to Lieutenant Colonel John By of the Royal Engineers who was selected by the British Government to supervise the building of the Rideau Canal. Colonel By & John Mac Taggert first arrived in Quebec in 1826. The three small settlements of Burritt's Rapids; Nicholsons Rapids; and Merricks Mills were already established along the proposed Rideau Canal route at this time. British Soldiers {Called Royal Sappers & Miners} began working on construction of the canal in 1827 [Each man was given 100 acres of land after their work was completed]. There was a large amount of hand work necessary for this operation and a large labor force was needed for the canal construction. To supply the great bulk of the manpower, large numbers of Irish immigrants were employed! One writer mentions a total working force of 6,000 men, but another estimate of 2,000 men is probably correct. Peter Robinson, founder of Peterborough, brought out two shiploads of Irish immigrants, all of whom staled along the banks of the Rideau. The hazards under which these inexperienced men carried out their work in an unfamiliar setting was vividly described by Mac Taggart: "Even in their spade and pickax business, the [men] receive dreadful accidents; as excavating in a wilderness is quite a different thing from doing that kind of labour in a cleared country. Thus they have to pool in, as the tactics of the art go - that is, dig beneath the roots of trees, which not infrequently fall down and smother them. ...Some of them... would take jobs of quarrying from contractors, because they thought there were good wages for this work, never thinking that they did not understand the business. Of course, many of them were blasted to pieces by their own shots, others killed by stones falling on them. I have seen heads, arms, and legs, blown in all directions; and it is vain for overseers to warn them of their danger, for they will pay no attention. I once saw a poor man blow a red stick, and hold it deliberately to the priming of a large shot he had just charged. I cried out, but it was of no use. He seemed to turn round his face, as if to avoid the smoke; off went the blast...he was killed in a moment." Mac Taggart also describes the efforts which had to be made to prevent such fatal accidents: "At length we got the matter so systematized, that a number of shots were always prepared to be fired at once; a person stood at a distance and kept blowing a horn, so that all quarriers got out of the quarry to a respectable distance before the mine was sprung." Another interesting story which might have involved Thomas Kelly was the "Battle of Merrickville!" There was a stone house {It still may exist} near Nicholsons Locks on the Rideau Canal that was known as the "Kelly Place!" Almost immediately opposite this beautiful private residence was a small gate with a sign inviting visitors to inspect McGuigan's Cemetery, one of the oldest burying grounds in this part of what used to be called Upper Canada{I understand it has recently been restored by the Merrickville Historical Society} . It was within site of McGuigan's Cemetery that the Battle of Merrickville was said to have been fought. During the work at this lock when the Rideau Canal was being built, a rowdy fight occurred. Some timber had been cut on the farm of a Mr. Mosher, but was not paid for as promptly as he wished. He summoned the Sheriff from Brockville, a Mr. Sherwood, to come and arrest the men on a charge of trespass. Mr. Sherwood came to the lock and decided to return to Brockville to get some necessary assistance. He swore in about a dozen deputy sheriffs there and came back to make his arrests. He was met by a large gang of the "naavies" working on the Canal, all Irishmen, whose dander had been aroused by this action. Armed with pick handles and clubs, they were successful in running off the sheriff and his deputies. Captain Burritt, from Burritt's Rapids was called out with a company of the Grenville Militia. They came up the river and made arrests. The whole gang of workers were then taken to Brockville under guard & brought to court to answer for their actions. But, with the loyalty that you might expect from Irishmen, none would testify against the other. It was impossible to get any evidence and the case was thrown out of court. The Irishmen celebrated with a few bottles & returned to their camp to finish work on the canal lock! The construction of the Rideau Canal, officially for military purposes, was completed in the spring of 1832! There was an influx of Irish in Burritt's Rapids, during the 1830's & 1840's & the largely Irish workforce was hired by Philemon, Wright & Sons, contractor of the locks at Burritt's Rapids! Freemasonry was also introduced to Burritt's Rapids in May of 1815 with the first meeting of the Rideau Lodge 25 at the home of Abel Adams on Lot 6, Concession 1 in Oxford Township! Since my uncle Carl Kelly was a mason, it is possible that Thomas Kelly was also a mason. Now, I have some questions, which I hope someone may be able to answer, regarding the above facts: 1. Does anyone know anything more about the history of "Kelly's Place" or the "Battle of Merrickville?" Are there any names {Hopefully including Thomas Kelly} regarding these incidents & locations? 2. Does anyone know where I could access work records of names of Irish workers who worked for Philemon, Wright & Sons Contractors, who built the locks at Burritt's Rapids? 3.Does anyone know where I could access Masonic records of the Rideau Lodge 25 to possibly acquire genealogical information on Thomas Kelly or other Kelly family members? 4.Is there a listing of names of the Irish Immigrants who were transported by Peter Robinson to work on the Rideau Canal? 5.Would there be a listing of names of Irish Immigrants anywhere who worked on the Rideau Canal? 6.What does the word "Naavies" mean? 7.Are there any land records involving those men who worked on the Rideau Canal & where can I access them? 8.How can I get more information on these Irish Immigrants who built the Rideau Canal? 9.Is anyone familiar with McGuigan's Cemetery and its location? 10.Would there be any kind of immigration records anywhere on these Irish Immigrants who built the Rideau Canal?

I thought I would send this out again. I'm also sending to some new locations. I'm looking for other family members related to LAURENCE KELLY and MARTHA SMITH. Supposedly both LAURENCE KELLY and MARTHA SMITH were born in Southeastern Pennsylvania. LAURENCE KELLY was born about 1740 and MARTHA SMITH was born about 1742. They were married on April 8, 1767 in Pennsylvania most likely in Cumberland or Lancaster County. The exact location is not known. This marriage was performed and recorded by Rev. John Conrad Bucher. Rev. Bucher first lived in Carlisle, Cumberland Co., PA. then moved to Lebanon, Lancaster Co., PA. around 1768. (He also may have owned land in Northumberland Co.) From the Annals of Buffaloe Valley PA., Tax lists, and Provincial papers. LAURENCE and MARTHA KELLY are listed living in Northumberland County,Pennsylvania. Laurence Kelly 1775-1780 White Deer Twp. 1 Horse 1 Cow, Laurence Kelly 1781 Buffaloe Twp. 2 Horses 2 Cows, Laurence Kelly 1785 Turbutt Twp. 200 Acres 1 Horse 2 Cows, Laurence Kelly 1787 Chillesquaque Twp. ? , Laurence Kelly 1793 Northumberland County record Warrentees of Land 400 Acres, Laurence Kelly 1790 & 1800 U.S. Census Northumberland County Pennsylvania. These Townships are near Milton & Lewisburg Pennsylvania. Union and Northumberland Counties today. Northumberland County was formed from Lancaster, Berks, Cumberland, Northhampton, & Bedford Counties in 1772. The towns of KELLY POINT and KELLY CROSSROADS are in Union County Pennsylvania today (this is same area that was Northumberland County from 1772-1813) The same location where LAURENCE & MARTHA KELLY lived from 1775-1781. These Townships west of the Susquehanna River, White Deer & Buffaloe, became Union County in 1813. From 1785-1800 LAURENCE & MARTHA KELLY lived on the east side of the Susquehanna River. Forced to because of Indian attacks. This time period was known as "The Great Runaway" (about 1780-1784). During the Revolutionary War LAURENCE KELLY was a private in Captain John Forster's Company. This was the 1st Company in the 1st Battalion known as the Northumberland Rangers. In command of the 1st Battalion was COLONEL JOHN KELLY. It is very possible that LAURENCE KELLY and COLONEL JOHN KELLY are in someway related. How is not known. Perhaps first cousins or maybe even brothers. COLONEL JOHN KELLY was born in 1744 on his father's farm (John Kelly Sr.) near Marietta, Donegal Township, Lancaster Co., PA. The towns of KELLY POINT and KELLY CROSSROADS are named after COLONEL JOHN KELLY who was a Revolutionary War Hero for Northumberland County Pennsylvania. LAURENCE KELLY and COLONEL JOHN KELLY both came to the same area of Northumberland County around the same dates. In 1800 LAURENCE & MARTHA KELLY along with their children with their families moved west to western Pennsylvania and then onto Ohio and Indiana. They were in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio from around 1802-1809. Staying there for only about 7 years. Then about 1810-1812 LAURENCE and MARTHA KELLY along with their Sons and Daughters (Hugh, John, Abraham, Martha, Elizabeth, William, Davis) arrived in Blue lick, Monroe Township, Clark County, Indiana. Where LAURENCE & MARTHA KELLY are both buried. MARTHA (SMITH) KELLY died September 22 and LAURENCE KELLY died two days later on September 24, 1823 (These deaths were recorded in the diary writen by Daniel Guernsey Sr., Schoolmaster in Blue lick) The diary reads..... In the year 1823 on September 21, Bronson Guernsey watches at the home of John Kelly. September 22, At 4 o'clock this morning old Mrs. Kelly died, aged 81 years. Old grandfather Kelly is supposed not to survive many days. Bronson watches. September 23, We all attend the funeral. Guy & Seymour Guernsey, Laz Kelly, Robert Campbellton, and William Patrick dig the grave in the woods near the home of John Dietz. I get home from the burying about five o'clock. September 24, Old Mr. Lawrence Kelly, age 83 years, dies about six thirty this morning. September 25, Attended the funeral of Mr Kelly. Mr. Little preached an excellent sermon. I got home from the burial about four o'clock. For those of you who may not know. Daniel Guernsey Sr. is the father of Daniel Bronson Guernsey who married Nancy Kelly daughter of John & Elizabeth (Wheatley, Mills) Kelly. This grave yard known as Blue Lick Cemetery to early settlers later became Mountain Grove Cemetery. Supposedly the land where LAURENCE & MARTHA KELLY are buried was once owned by HUGH KELLY who donated this portion of land for a cemetery. The Guernsey and Dietz families were neighbors, good friends, and thier children married into the Kelly family. Visit this web site for pictures of their graves. www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5881/bluelickcem.html Anyone who has knowledge about these KELLY or SMITH Families in Southeastern Pennsylvania during the mid to late 1700's or anyone who feels they maybe related to Lawrence and Martha Kelly please contact me. Also if you have corrections or additional information for Kelly families please contact me. Tom Kelly 10725 Corning Drive St. Louis, MO. 63123 email: tpkelly@swbell.net

Hi Tillie, I counted four messages so they got through even though you got the warning message. I received that once as well . I don't know why either.

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody. I'm sure I must have "sounded" like a wild-eyed lunatic..or at the very least, desperate to find out about Dorcas! :o) Anyway, I appreciate all those who sent me messages to let me know that ALL of my messages had made it, and also that there was actually someone else out there who is also researching Dorcas Kelly! I'm glad to be on this list and hopefully I won't have anymore problems (although this most recent boon-daggle appears to be more of a misinterpretation of things than an actual problem!) Anyway, thanks again to all of you! Tillie Smith O'Kelley (as you can see...I've got both the KELL(E)Ys and the O'KELLEYs covered...which are minimally easier to find than the SMITH line!)

What little response I received on my first post was very enthusiastic, prompting me to make this post again. I just know that there are more Kellys out there. There are always more Kellys out there! If you have a Kelly or Kelley born PRIOR to 1790, and who lived in southern PA during their adult life, could you please let me know? (Please, only these credentials). Please list them in the following manner, so that I can compile them and publish them--say in two weeks. Hopefully I, and somebody else, will find something. Respond to my address. GIVEN NAME Kelly or Kelley (or other variation), approx. birthdate--guess even, county(s) of residence. Sample: ARCHIBALD Kelly, 1772, Cumberland>Indiana Thanks for your input, Kathy Kelly

I have been trying to post a query on this list, but keep getting a message saying:WARNING: stevek6669@accex.net - NO SUCH USER! What is happening here? Is there a reason that I am being blocked from sending a message to this list? If so, then please let me know and I won't try anymore. I've been trying to send the message to KELLY-L@rootsweb.com, without just doing a "reply" to the list, until now. I figured this was going to be the only way I could get this message through. Who is this MDaemon@accex.net? Is this the listowner or someone from rootsweb? I belong to several lists and this is the first one I've ever had any problem with accepting a posting. Can someone please email me privately and explain what is going on?

This will be the third time I've tried to post this message to the list, and my first posting of anything....hopefully, I'm doing it correctly this time and it will get through. I'm looking for information on Dorcas Kelly b/abt 1745, d/abt 1790. She was the first wife of Henry Hines, Sr. They married in Campbell County, Va. on Feb 3, 1774, and had 9 children before she died and he re-married to Elizabeth Harvey. I have quite a lot of information on the Hines side of the family, but nothing on Dorcas Kelly's family. I understand that Campbell County was formed in 1781, from Bedford County, Va., so her family records might possibly be there...if I just knew which Kelly family was hers. I would appreciate any information or insight into HER family (parents, siblings, etc.) and will share any information I have. Can anyone out there help me find out something, anything about her? She and Henry were my gggg-grandparents. Thanks in advance, Tillie Smith O'Kelley researching:HINES,GOTT,YOUNG,KELLY,MASON,HOOD,SMITH, NORRIS, DRAKE in Virginia, Maryland, & Kentucky

This is my first time posting anything to this list, so thought I'd give it a shot...... I'm looking for information on Dorcas Kelly (abt. 1745-1790), the first wife of Henry Hines, Sr. I have quite a lot of info on the Hines side of the family (descendants), but have absolutely nothing on Dorcas Kelly's family. She and Henry married Feb 3, 1774 in Campbell County, and proceeded to have 9 children. I would love to have some kind of insight into HER family (parents, siblings, etc.) Can anyone help me find out something about her? She and Henry were my gggg-grandparents. Thanks in advance for any help. I understand that Campbell County wasn't actually formed until 1781, from Bedford county, so her family records might possibly be there....if I just knew which Kelly family was hers!
