I need help in identifying which one is the son of Anthony named in his will along with daughters, Margaret and Mary. On Dec 6, 1796, a William Kelly married Margaret Johnson. One source has identified this William as the son of Anthony and another says that he was the son of James Kelly of Pittsylvania Co, VA. This William Kelly died in 1819. On Nov 16, 1799, a William Kelly married a Margaret Kelly with William Kelly listed as bondsman. Is this Margaret the daughter of Anthony listed in his will and is this William the son-in-law, William Kelly, listed in Anthony's will? Is William Kelly the bondsman the William Kelly son of Anthony and brother of Margaret? If so, who are the parents of William Kelly, the groom? and where did he and Margaret live and die? On Jan 4, 1800 a William Kelly married Sarah Ragens. Is he the son of Anthony? Who is she? Is Ragens actually Rogers and is she the daughter of James and Margaret Woods Rodgers? I hope that someone has some of the answers and can help me solve this puzzle. Mary F Kelley
