Author: kHaworth0919 Surnames: KELLY and DUBOIS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.tompkins/5155/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Can anyone tell me something of Nancy Kelly who appeared in the Ulysses 1830 census? Per the age range listed she would have been born about 1790 to 1800. There was no husband in the household. She had 1 female under 5 and 2 females 5 - 10. I do not find her in the 1820 census -- she likely was listed under her husband. I also do not find her after the 1830 census. I'm going through a process of elimination to determine the parentage and siblings of my ancestor Mary Ann Kelly born in 1845 in Tompkins County. She married Uriah DuBois in 1847 who resided in Ulysses. This is why I am investigating Nancy Kelly as a potential parent.
