Thanks Betty, I will try that...Don't think thats the case here though. According to my Grandmother (John Kelly's Daughter), his mother Elizabeth (Duncan) Kelly just didn't have time for him or his sister. She was too busy maintaining her "Social Status" and he had servants that took care of him on a Plantation. Problem is I can't find them....or the Plantation.
