Howdy! Eh! Pat McAbe: Thank You so much for sending the pictures to me in the post. I have not received them yet, but I will let you know whenever I do. It just so happens that I discovered Thomas Kelly living in Oxford-On-Rideau Township on the Leebee/Censuses & Assessments/Grenville County/Ontario/Canada/1840/1841/1842/1851/1861/1871/&1881, which is locaated @ <www.ott.igs.net/~leebee> as follows: Assessments: Year.

However. on the 1842 Census the Lot was 2; the Concession was 2; the Gr was 5; & the Yrs were 7. On the 1861 Census the Lot was 7; the Concession was 3; & the Acres were 100. On the 1871 Census the Lot was 6; the Concession was 2; & the Acres were 2. I assume that this meant that Thomas moved around & that he ended up with only 2 acres instead of the original 100. Therefore, he must have sold some of his land as he grew older. I am unsure of what Gr stands for. I assume Yrs means how many years he lived on and/or owned the land. I appreciate your offer to visit where Thomas lived and to let me know if there are any structures or old buildings on these locations. I am also posting this e-mail to several other lists to see if anyone might recognize if they have an ancestor in common with me! You have truly been very kind and helpful to me in my Kelly Quest!
