Good morning, There appears to be a problem here. I sent a message a few minutes ago asking list members if anyone had information on an Olive KELLY. I just received a message stating WARNING, No such user etc and it indicated that there was a file attached. Can someone kindly tell me what I did wrong if anything? Thank you, Marge Perry.

Good morning, Does anyone have any information on the family of Olive KELLY, b.September 3 1813 in Dartmouth, MA. She married Henry GRAVES, lived in Dennis Port, MA and died April 17 1873. Both Henry and Olive appear in the Dennis vital records, but unable to find the names of either of the parents. Thank you, Marge Perry On a very delightfully cool morning on Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Hi Loren of Texas and Kellys everywhere, In response to your question, "Where is Mara Twp, Simcoe Co.?," it is located north of Toronto, on the northeast side of Lake Simcoe whereas your ancestors lived in Grenville Co. bordering Quebec, @ Ottawa . . . but then, what do I know about Canadian geography -- I'm a Michigander, eh! Forty-year old Martin Kelly came across from Dublin, Ireland, in 1842, and landed in Quebec with his two-year old son and his pregnant wife, Catherine Doolan Kelly, age 23. Hence, they waited until daughter Margaret was born in 1843 before traversing the wilds to Simcoe Co. Catherine Doolan Kelly's 19-year old brother, Martin Doolan, made the crossing with them and settled on the lot next to theirs in Mara Twp. The Thomas you write about had settled in Canada in 1835, before Martin Kelly, who was first listed in the Canadian Census of 1851 as a farmer in Mara Twp. By 1861, the Census shows Martin Kelly had eleven children. The two could have been brothers, but for that connection, we would have to find parish birth records in Dublin. Since my original message to the Kelley-L@rootsweb was lost before posting on the KELLY-L, here goes: > Hello Kell(e)ys: > My line descends from Martin Kelly b. 1802 Dublin, IRE and Catherine > Doolan b. 1819 County Roscommon IRE.

Seeking ANY information on the John KELLY family of Minneapolis Minnesota. John was born in Ireland settled in Minneapolis, St. Paul area. Children by first wife (Mary,or Margaaret ?) Frank W.

KELLY who left home at 14 and died 1937 in Arizona. All these children lived in he Minneapolis area in 1937. John KELLY married a second time name of wife and any issue unknown. Have hit a BIG brick wall. Sincerely ,Donna

Howdy! Eh! Kelly & Kelley Listers In the ArchivaNet Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario I have discovered a "gathering" "A. K. A. Clan" of Kelly's in Kent County; Bothwell, District; Camden, Subdistrict. They are all Methodists {Of one form or another} and I assume they are related. My Great Grandfather, James Kelly (33) is found on this same census in Kent County; Kent, District; Harwich, Subdistrict. James and his family were originally from Oxford Township-On-The-Rideau in Grenville County Ontario. He is of Irish origin and Methodist also. I believe he may be related to these Kelly's. Camden is close to Harwich. Following are a list of these Kellys From Camden {Bothwell}: William Kelly (38); born Ontario; Calvinistic Methodist; Irish; Farmer. David Kelly (67); born United States; Methodist; Irish; Carpenter. Edward Kelly (37); born Ontario; Wesleyan Methodist;; Irish; Farmer George Kelly (32); born Ontario; Episcopal Methodist/Methodist Episcopal; Irish; Waggon Maker. Samuel Kelly (34); born Ontario; Episcopal Methodist/Methodist Episcopal; Irish; Farmer. Robert Kelly (28); born Ontario; Episcopal Methodist/Methodist Episcopal; Irish; Farmer. Sarah Jane Kelly (27); born Ontario; Episcopal Methodist/Methodist Episcopal; Irish; Stray. John Kelly (67); born Ireland; Church of England, Anglican; Irish; Farmer. The other link between the Camden Kellys and James Kelly is that Camden was the site of one of the first major oil booms in Canada and James Kelly eventually became an Oil Rig & Water Well driller as did his son, Nathan Tompkins Kelly {My Grandfather}! If anyone has any information on the above-listed Kellys that might possibly give me a clue as to their possible family connection, please contact me. Thanks! Loren Kelly, An Irish Canadian American, Living in Texas!

Kelly: My line descends from a Thomas Kelly {D.O.B. Unknown-But of Irish Origin}! He married a Hannah Brown {Marriage date unknown} and they sired a son by the name of James Kelly who was born on 09, Sep. 1838 in Burritt's Rapids, which is located in Oxford-Township-On-The Riedeau Canal, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada. As a result of my research, I discovered a Thomas Kelly on the 1842 Census of Grenville County residing in Oxford Township on the second concession; lot two; and he had five people in his family group. The 1842 Census also indicated that Thomas Kelly had resided there for seven years {Since about 1835}. I also checked Assessments for Grenville County {Oxford Township} and discovered a Thomas Kelley residing on Concession four; Lot six; consisting of 100 acres in 1840. Also in the Census Records for the Four Townships on the Rideau River, I discovered a Thomas Kelly residing in Oxford Township in 1840. This is probably my G-G-Grandfather. There was a Ransom Kelly residing in Montague Township in 1825 and I discovered a baptism from Montague Township regarding a Sarah Kelly who was born on 23, March, 1845 to a Martin & Maria Kelly. I have also seen Military Records on a Martin Kelly and the name has popped up a number of times during my research in Grenville County. >From Ontario marriage records I have also been able to determine that James Kelly s/o Thomas and Hannah Kelly also had three sisters as follows: Martha Kelly; Jerusha Kelly; and Maria Kelly. Now from the marriage records it appears that my Kellys' moved around between Merrickville; Burritt's Rapids; & Kemptville in 1873; 1874; & 1875. These marriage records indicated that they were all Methodists. I do know that on James Kelly's {My Great Grandfather's} death certificate there is a mention of Montreal. Where is Mara Township? Could the above Kelly's be related to your Martin Kelly? Thanks, Loren Kelly, An Irish Canadian American, Living In Texas! --part1_f79964a0.24e0fcd5_boundary--

I am seeking information of JOEL KELLY who lived in Pickens District SC in the early 1800's now Oconee County. He was born about 1800 in ? to ??? and married Barbary Phillips. They had four children: George Washington Kelly born 1838, Marianne (Molly) 1839, Levi Waddell 1840 and Reuben 1843, all born in SC. In the 1850 Census - Barbara Kelly was head of household, and the family records say "he was killed in a wagon accident when the children were young". Would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows where Joel came from and to whom he was born. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks most sincerely, Evelyn

Hello: I have been with the Kelley newsletter some time, and have just joined this Kelly newsletter. Perhaps a new group of people will be able to help in some way. I am seeking any information on Archibald Kelly who married Elsie Clawson in 1793 at the First Presbyterian Church in Carlisle, PA. I have reason to believe that he may have settled in Indiana County, PA. I am also seeking any information on James Kelly and Patrick Kelly who appear on the 1807 Tax Lists in Indiana County, PA for Blacklick Township. Thanks. Kathy Kelly

Hello Kell(e)ys: My line descends from Martin Kelly b. 1802 Dublin, IRE and Catherine Doolan b. 1819 County Roscommon IRE. I have them well documented after the birth of their first son, Patrick, in 1840, Ireland, and their immigration to Canada where a daughter, Margaret, was born in Quebec, 1843. They settled in Mara Township and had eight more children: James 1884, Catherine 1845, Michael 1847, Thomas 1849, Martin and John (twins) 1851, Edward 1856, and Mary 1857. Most of the Kelly brothers left Mara, some settling in Michigan, Minnesota, and Montana. For those of you who may have Kell(e)ys from Mara Township and who need information, I do have the 885-p book, "They Came to Mara..." which gives information on hundreds of families -- including Kellys from Scotland. Does anyone know the best way to begin looking for Kelly ancestors in Ireland? Kelly O'Leary

Am trying to help my mother-in-law find her sister.

Greetings, I am new to the list and wanted to post my information: My 3rd great grandfather was Martin Kelly (or Kelley). All I know is this. He was born around 1818 probably somewhere in County Galway. He settled in Maine around 1845. He was married Mary Nee in 1848 in Portland, ME and had the following children: Michael, Bryan, Martin, Margaret, Festus, Dennis, Anna, Mary Ann, Thomas, and Stephen. In 1867 the family moved to Lewiston, ME. Martin died in 1888. No records indicate his place of birth or origin. In 1864 he there was a Patrick Kelly living at the same address in Portland. I have not been able to find a naturalization record, or will for him. The death record does not indicate any place of birth. There is no obituary and I haven't yet been able to find a passenger list. Kathy Amoroso Portland, ME
