I have just in the past few days learned that a member of my Kelly/ Kelley family from Indiana moved out to Douglas Co., KS in the late 1840s or early 1850s and I would like to find out if anyone on the list has any information about them. John Kelly was born in 1801 in KY and came to Indiana with his parents, Anthony and Mary Kelly circa 1816 and settled in Clark Co., IN and in the late 1830 the family moved north to Johnson Co., IN. In 1824 in Clark Co., IN I believe that he married Eleanor Patterson, who I think was the daughter of Robert Patterson and possibly his wife Jane Henderson. I believe that she was born in KY circa 1803 or 1804. Since his cousin, another John Kelly was born only a couple of years later, probably in KY, and also lived in Clark Co., IN it is difficult to determine which of them married Eleanor Patterson but I think it is the one born in 1801 since the date of birth on his tombstone matches exactly the date I have and two of his sons were named Anthony and Robert which would have been the names of their grandfathers. In either case as first cousins they are connected to the same Kelly/Kelley family which I have traced back to the 1760s in Augusta Co., VA. Looking at census data for John and Elenor/Ellen Kelly it appears that their children included sons: James (born circa 1830), Anthony (born circa 1833), Robert (born circa 1837), John and James (?) (born circa 1838), and William H (born circa 1841) and at least two daughters: Sarah Ellen (born 1838) who married Abram Smith in 1860 and Eliza (born 1844) who married Graydon McCune in 1865. If anyone has any information about this family I would appreciate hearing from them and I will be glad to share what information I have. Thanks for any assistance.
