    3. Hi, Betsy. I can't add much. Angeline's middle name was Elizabeth. I have her dob as 5 Jan 1839, but my source is weak on that date. I have her dod as 29 Nov 1904. Her husband was Elijah Kelly, Jr., born 28 Jan 1830 and died 13 Aug 1902. He is buried in the Old Taylor Cemetery, Grayson Co - source is Grayson Co Cemeteries, Vol II, page 309. They had 15 children. You are correct that her parents were David M. McClure (1818-23 May 1897) and Mary Ann Lucky (abt 1821 - bef 1888). David remarried: Grayson Gazette: "Friday, December 21, 1888 - David McClure, age 70 years & Mrs. Mary J. Wortham, aged 39 years, were married Tuesday at the home of the bride, a few miles north of Leitchfield." As for other Elijah Kelly's from Grayson County, other than Elijah, Sr. (abt 1787-abt 1834), we have: 1. Elijah Kelly born 3 May 1845, died 7 Feb 1927 Adair County, KY, son of Ephriam Kelly and Susan McClure; married 1st Sarah Jane Taylor. 2. Elijah Kelly born abt 1847, died aft 1900, son of Martin Kelly and Rebecca Patterson; married Minerva E. Hazelwood. Anyone researching the Kelly family should check with Betsy and Don Williams, as they have done all of the leg work.
