Once again I am pursuing my Kelley line, and in need of help! Maybe one of you has come across new information or someone new out there has info. My apologies to all those who have heard this before, and to those of you on the multiple list I am posting to and for the length of the posting. My brick wall Joe Kelley. I have no proof to place him in the correct Kelley line. I speculate that he is the son of Franklin Doctor Kelley(s/o Joseph Calloway Kelley). Joseph Kelley was married to Nancy Jane “Janie” Williams(d/o Ambrose Williams, s/o Joseph P. Williams) Descendants of Joseph Edward Kelley 1 Joseph Edward Kelley b: October 7, 1873 d: June 29, 1914 in Anderson County SC . +Nancy Jane Williams b: 1879 d: 1953 in Anderson County SC ... 2 Frank Kelley ... 2 Herman Kelley ... 2 Robert Kelley b: 1896 ... 2 Maud Kelley b: 1899 ... 2 J.B. Kelley b: 1901 ... 2 Hutto Kelley b: 1904 ... 2 Lila Jane Kelley b: April 15, 1906 in Anderson County SC ... 2 Joe Kelley b: October 7, 1909 d: April 20, 1970 ... 2 Janie Kelley b: 1914 There are 2 Joseph Kelley’s that appear on the 1880 census that would be of the correct age to be my Joe.

KELLY Son 5M SC Fa: SC Mo: SC The Old Pendleton Database lists the children of Franklin Doctor Kelley and wife Manerva Matthews as: Thomas Monroe Kelley Minerva “Dolly” Kelley John Kelley Elizabeth Kelley Lillie Kelley Sally Kelley Joseph Kelley William Kelley With wife Lula McAlister Charles Hoke Kelley Frank Kelley The 1910 census finds Joe Kelley and wife Janie in Williamston living next door to John Kelley and his wife Maud, with one son Jack. The same John Kelley is found on the 1920 census with wife Maud and sons, Jack, Mack and John C. Kelley Joe Kelley is buried in the Williamston Cemetery along with: Nancy Jane Kelley b.1880 d.1953 John T. Kelley b.1880 d.1974 Maud A. Kelley b. 1884 d. 1934 Boris Herman Kelley b.1908 d.1934 son of Joe and Janie Mattie Lou Kelley b.1915 d.1917 John Charles Kelley b 1918 d.1960 My speculation is that Joe and John were brothers, children of Franklin Doctor Kelley, but no proof. Joe Kelley was a constable, he was shot to death in 1914 by Claude Poore who was a police officer, it occurred behind the drug store in Williamson. The shooting according to new paper accounts was due to bad blood between Poore and Kelley and had nothing to do with their professions. I have found 2 newspaper articles on the shooting, but nothing about when Poore went to trial. I would love to know more. I need help and direction to find out more!!!! The fire at the Williamson courthouse supposedly destroyed all records. If you can direct me or have any information that might help me I would greatly appreciate your being in touch.
