Nelson Kelley is believed to be the father of Reuben Kelley (1763-1815), William Kelley who married Martha Garrett b 1778 (daughter of Edward Garrett of Laurens Co, SC), John Kelley, Millie Kelley who married Pleasant Sullivan and perhaps Thomas Kelley who was in Laurens Co, SC in 1790. Since Nelson and Elizabeth were married in 1751, I think they may have had a lot more children. But I cannot prove a single child for them. They were in Bedford Co, TN by April 1809 when they were among the founders of New Hope Baptist Church at Fairfield, TN. It seems to me that Reuben was witness on a deed from the Garrett Family to the local Baptist Church (Duncan's Creek?) in 1805 in Laurens Co. Please tell me your line.

Does anyone have a listing of their children? Nelson Kelley and family was found on the 1800s census in Laurens County South Carolina.Again does anyone know when they migrated to Tennessee? Thanks for your help. Becky
