KELLY-HOLMAN Am seeking information on David Kelly/Kelley, born in Indiana, died 1901, who was the father of Mary Elizabeth Kelly/Kelley, born 1856 in Texas, and the husband of Helen Holman, born Indiana. Helen's father was John Holman. ********************************************************************** ******* SINGLETARY.... Am seeking the parents/siblings of William Harrison Singletary, born 3-18-1850 in Georgia, died 5-6-1899 in Oklahoma. Married Sarah Emily "Sallie" Looney, born 9-17-1859 in Tennessee, died 11-1897 in Oklahoma, on 12-9-1877 in Brownwood, Brown County, Texas. Children were Clarence Preston, Robert Alexander, Herman Leroy, Ina Isola and Ernest Rayfield. ********************************************************************** ********** CATES-SHELTON.... ISAIAH CATES/KATES (b. circa 1817 in Tennessee/North Carolina (probably the section of N.C. that later became Tennessee) or Ireland; d. early 1860's in southwest Missouri) married NANCY SHELTON (b. circa 1826 in Tennessee; d. 1896 in McKinney, Collin County, Texas) circa 1841. It is believed they were in the Giles County, Tennessee at this time. Nancy was the daughter of William (b. Missouri/Virginia) and Mary (b. circa 1793 in Virginia) Shelton. By the 1850 census, they had moved 60 miles northwest to Perry County, Tennessee, a county split in half by the Tennessee River, but by 1854 had moved to Franklin Township, Dent County, Missouri, a journey of 250 miles to the northwest across the Mississippi River, where the family resided during the 1860 census. In the late 1850's, Isaiah was reported to be a doctor/farmer in southwestern Missouri. He supposedly was making a house call one night and was stranded in a snowstorm—his horse becoming entangled in a wire. He was found the next morning and later contracted pneumonia and died. His gravesite is as yet unknown. In the 1870 census, Nancy, George, Isaiah Jr., Joel, John, Elizabeth and Nancy's mother, Mary Shelton, were again in Dent County (Franklin Township, Salem), Missouri. In the 1870's, the family relocated once again to Texas, an even-longer trek of over 500 miles to the southwest. They had seven children named Margera (Margaret) Ann, Sarah, George, Isaiah Jr., Joel, John Conley and Bette Elizabeth. Need info on Isaiah and Nancy's parents/siblings, etc.. ********************************************************************** *********************
