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!
