Looking for researcher Tim Kelly who posted a query on the Ramsey Co. MN page on March 26th, or any other researcher working on this KELLY family. Some of what I believe about our family comes from census records (1880 NE), some from obituaries and county histories etc. It is probably not 100% accurate, but as close as I have gotten so far. I believe our William Daniel was called Daniel, though perhaps those were references to a brother instead, in which case cousins could be listed as siblings here. He may have had brothers Daniel and Patrick also in the St. Paul area. I am attaching a copy of my Ramsey County query, please let me know if it looks like we could connect. We first find them in Illinois in 1853, then in St. Paul by 1857 until 1861 or 62. If these look like your folks, I look forward to hearing from you.

Kelly b: 04 June 1855 in Elgin, Kane Co., IL ........ 2 William Kelly b: 04 June 1855 in Elgin, Kane Co., IL ........ 2 Daniel Kelly b: 03 May 1857 in St. Paul, Ramsey Co., MN ........ 2 Maggie Kelly b. ca. 1860 in St. Paul, MN ........ 2 Willie Kelly b. ca. 1861 in St. Paul, MN ........ 2 John Kelly b. Ca. 1862 in Nebraska ........ 2 Thomas Kelly b. ca. 1867 in Iowa ........ 2 Nellie Kelly b. ca. 1869 in Iowa William Sr. (Daniel) was a wagon driver on the trail between Omaha and Denver in the 1870's and 1880's, so he might have been a teamster when they were in St. Paul also. They appear to have been in St. Paul from about 1856 until 1861 or 62. The family were devout Catholic, I believe those who were born in MN were baptized there.
