That's why he's buried in Rich Hill Cemetery, as it's in close proximity to Union Township. I did not find any other John Kellys in Muskingum until the 1830s census and that one was living in Washington Township and would have been born sometime between 1790 and 1800, IOW too young to have been a war veteran.
