Dear Ken, From what you have written, I don't believe there is a connection between our two lines. I have xerox copies of my 2nd greatgrandfather's Decl. of Int. (1844) and naturalization (1845) papers, and they definitely state that he was born in 1818, Co. Galway, Ireland, and emigrated to America in 1841, and the surname is listed as KELLY. My Patrick KELLY died ca. 1854-56, and his first wife was Mary Ann DOLAN (1825--1890). Thank you for your email, and I wish you all the best with your family searches.

He was also born in Galway, but we think that he was born in 1832 and that he was the son of Bryan Kilkelly. I believe that all of his descendents used the Kelly name, though there is one Patrick Kilkelly that I've heard of, who may be a son or nephew. I offer this information because you may run across "my" Patrick in Huntingdon or Blair counties. Also, many of my other ancestors in this line, hailed from Warriors Mark, but they were the Westons and a lot of Germans. Patrick's wife, Ann Nightwine, is buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Newry, Blair county, PA. I have not looked there for Patrick's grave, though it might also be there.
