    1. Battle of Point Pleasant: James Kelley, Garrett Kelley, Alexander Kelley
    2. Paula Ward

    3. I am interested in the Kelley/Kelly family of Bedford County and would be happy to share information with any Kelley or Sledd researchers. Garrett (Gerrott) Kelley is listed in Capt. Thomas Buford's Company of Bedford County, VA Volunteers. Alexander Kelly is listed in Captain John Lewis' Company of Volunteers, Botetourt County, Va. Both Garrett (Gerrott) Kelley and Alexander Kelly are listed on the website: List of Soldiers at the Battle of Point Pleasant http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvmason/roster.html I believe that Garrett Kelley and Alexander Kelley/Kelly were brothers of my 4th-g grandfather, James Kelley, b. 1758 in Bedford County, Va. James married Elizabeth Sledd 6 Nov 1787 in Amherst Co VA. On James Kelley's Rev. War Pension record, he stated that he served a total of 15 months. He volunteered "under Capt. James Bluford [Buford?], in Colonel Lewis' Regiment under General Christy [Christian?], Commander-in-Chief. Fought against the Cherokee Indians. Two months service." That was in August 1776. 1779: James Kelley was drafted for his second tour of duty under Captain John Paxton, Col. George Skillron, General Hande, Commander. Fought against the Shawnee Indians. Two months service. 1780: James Kelley enlisted as a State Soldier (Virginia) for his third tour of duty, under John Graves Captain, James Lucus Colonel, General Stephens Commander. They had a skirmish with Tarleton's Horse at Sloan's Ferry on the Yadkin River. Eight months service. 1781: James Kelley enlisted for his fourth tour of duty and served under Captain Calloway, Col. Tucker, and General Lawson. He was at the siege of York when Lord Cornwallis was captured. Three months service. Also, in "The Annals of Southwest Virginia" by Lewis Preston Summers, p. 1,419: "Officers and a partial list of the privates accompanying Col. William Christian upon the Cherokee Expedition in August, 1776: "First Battalion: Colonel William Christian, Major Evan Shelby, Surgeon Joseph Starke Second Battalion: Colonel Charles Lewis, Surgeon George Hart The Captains were listed as: Isaac Bledsoe, Robert Boggs, John Campbell, William Cocke, Benjamin Gray, Aaron Lewis, Thomas Madison, John Montgomery, William Preston, William Russell, John Sevier, Daniel Smith, James Thompson, and Jacob Womack." Among the many listed as Privates were: James Buford, Jacob Early, Peter Huff, Samuel Ingram, William Ingram, JAMES KELLY (p. 1,420), Johnathan Martin, Samuel Martin, Robert Preston, Joshua Renfro, Daniel Smith, David Smith, James Thomas, Isaac Thomas, Benjamin Thomas, Peter Turney (perhaps Turner?), and James Young."
