Re Rev David Campbell Kelley I thought some of the subscribers might enjoy knowing a little about the Rev. D. C. Kelley, who wrote the article referred to below. He led a very interesting life. I descend from the aunt of Rev. D. C. Kelly, Frances Kelley who married John W. Peyton of Wilson Co. TN. Name: David Campbell Kelly Son of John Kelly and Lavinia Margaret Campbell. Grandson of Soldier of the Revolution Dennis Kelly and wife Elizabeth Thompson. Birth: 25 Dec 1833 in , Wilson, Tennessee Death: 15 May 1909 in Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee Burial: Mount Olivet Cem, Sect 15 Lot 29, Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee Sixty years a minister of the Methodist Church A Slave owner Married 3 times A cavalry Colonel under Nathan Bedford Forrest in the Civil War A candidate for Governor of Tennessee on the Prohibition ticket in 1890 He was a wealthy Slave owner. The 1860 Census shows that he owned real estate valued at $35,000 and personal property valued at $10,000. He was married three times. His first wife was Manerva Amanda Harris b: 23 May 1835 Married: 4 Jan 1854 Death: 15 May 1867 in Wilson Co., Tennessee Children Not Named Kelly b: 1855 in On Board Ship To, China Daisy Kelly b: 1858 in , , Alabama John Harris Kelly b: 1860 in , , Tennessee Elizabeth Kelly b: 27 Sep 1862 in , Wilson, Tennessee His 2nd marriage was to his cousin Mary Owen Campbell Married: 14 Jan 1869 She was the daughter of Tennessee Governor William Campbell and Fannie I.

They were forced to return to the U.S. due to Manerva's ill health. Their first child was born and died on the ship as they traveled to their assignment. The 1860 Census shows that two male Chinese boys, ages 13 and 11, were living with David, the only Chinese in TN that year. If anyone wants to share info about the descendants of Rev.

I am guessing that my grandfather's first cousin Dr. David Campbell Kelley Binkley was named for Rev. Kelley. He was the son of Joseph Shackleford Binkley and Martha Buchanan Steele, who lived in Davidson County near the Wilson County line. Dr. Binkley, who was born in 1857 and who died in 1928, practiced medicine in Humphreys County.
