I would also be interested in the Kelly connection especially with Sheffield family. my Gr-grandmother Sara Winnie Sheffield b: 3 JUL 1832 AL mar Daniel Kelly Trant, b: 28 APR 1822, Warren Co., GA. They had 13 children. Have data on all 13 . Sara parents were Thomas Sheffield b:1803 NC, mother Nancy Bush Beasley b: 1809 NC. Also have their ancestors. Daniel Kelly Trant father was James Trant b: 1788, Warren Co., GA . His parents were John Trant d: Warren Co., GA 1799, whose wife Sofie was exetrx. James Trant married Rebecca Kelly b: SC 1798. Believe her father to be Daniel Kelly born in Ireland, township unkn. Marriage settlement signed in SC of Daniel Kelly, Jr. Married Ann Marion, Jan. 1797 Settlement signed by three members of General Francis Marion's family. Same Daniel? My grandfather James Monroe Kelly b: 25 Jul 1862 (bros. John, Thomas & Frank,sister) orphaned, lived with his Trant cousins who had moved to Dale Co., AL. He married Mary Frances Trant, 5th child of Daniel Kelly Trant. They were cousins and is so noted in the census of 1880. We don't know if James Trant had bro/sisters nor if Rebecca had bro/sister. Any suggesstions appreciated.
