John K. Kelley born abt 1864 in (? Cass County TX), married Anna Dean and had 3 children, 2nd marriage Elizabeth (Lizzie) Whitson had several more children. He seemed to have lived in the area of the Texas counties of Red River, Lamar and Bowie all his married life. He died in Manchester, TX, Red River County 16 Jan. 1938. Most of the information I have on his parents are hear-say. We strongly think he had family in the Hugo, Oklahoma area. He lived in Valiant, OK in 1935(?).

Thanks for the info. It doesn't sound like our Kelley/Kelly families are connected. Maybe a long ways back, but I can't seem to GET a long ways back with this family. Well, we just have to keep plugging......

My gg grandfather William H. Campbell has a woodman marker I think. He died in 1880s though? In Centerville. During his adult life he lived under an alias, Sport Houston. The family is listed as Houston on the census records, until afther his death. He is burried as a Campbell. He owned the Limerick Saloon in Centerville as of 1869 and he advertised in the newspaper of that time called the Experiment. His tombstone reads" The Lord Loveth a Cheerful Giver" Any information about him would be appreciated. Karen Moore Kerr __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
