Kathy and Flora, Have either of you seen the work on the Whitesides and Allied Families by Foster Clay Whiteside. I believe it is housed in the public library in Fort Worth, Texas. I have copies of a few of the pages that a kind sole sent me a few years back. Mr. Whiteside corresponded to many family members in the 1970s when he was working on his publication. Although I don't think it was actually made into a published book. Also, Shirley Brittain Cawyer wrote a book on James Brittain and Allied Familes which has some Whiteside information. And the Old Buncombe County Genealogy Society library in Asheville, NC has that book as well as some family information on the Whitesides. They may very well have Kelly/Kelley information as well. I believe the Rutherford County Genealogy Society also has the Cawyer book. If you come up with a connection of the Kelleys please, let me know as well. Connie Bradshaw
