I'm looking for the parents for Lawrence Kelly and Martha Smith. Also all descendants. Supposedly both Lawrence and Martha were born in Pennsylvania. Lawrence Kelly (or Kelley) born about 1740 and Martha Smith born about 1742. They were married on April 8, 1767 in Pennsylvania most likely in Cumberland or Lancaster County. The exact location is not known. This marriage was performed and recorded by Rev. John Conrad Bucher. It is believed that Rev. Bucher first lived in Carlisle, PA. then moved to Lebanon, PA. around 1768. From the Annals of Buffaloe Valley, PA., Lawrence and Martha Kelly are listed as living in White Deer Township, Northumberland County, PA. in 1775. This is near Lewisburg and Kelly Point in Union County, PA. today. What was Northumberland County at the time they lived there and changed to Union County in 1813. During the Revolutionary War, Lawrence Kelly was a private in Captain John Forster's Company. This was the 1st Company in the 1st Battalion known as the Northumberland Rangers. In command of the 1st Battalion was Colonel John Kelly. It is very possible that Lawrence Kelly and Colonel John Kelly are related. How is not known. Perhaps first cousins or maybe even brothers. Colonel John Kelly was born in 1744. The town of Kelly Point is named after Colonel John Kelly. Lawrence Kelly lived in Northumberland County until about 1800. Then moved west through western Pennsylvania to Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio. Staying there only for a few years. Then about 1810 Lawrence and Martha Kelly along with their Sons and Daughters (Hugh, John, Abraham, Martha, Elizabeth, William, Davis) arrived in Blue lick, Monroe Township, Clark County, Indiana. Where Lawrence and Martha both died in September of 1823 and are buried at Mountain Grove Cemetery. Anyone who has knowledge about the Kelly or Smith Families in Pennsylvania during the 1700's or anyone who feels they maybe related to Lawrence and Martha Kelly may contact me.
