She married Thomas Kelly April 28, 1818 and her maiden name was Sisson. His will was probated August 25, 1823. This is definitely the same Mary who married James because the same slaves are named in Thomas' will and in James' 1839 will. The 1850 census shows her as Mary EMMONS and William Kelly (36 and blind) is living with her. What puzzles me is her age is listed as 100! Now, she is listed as "insane" so maybe she gave the wrong age. Otherwise, that would mean she married my gggggrandfather, James when she was 83 and she would have been about 68 when she married Thomas. Strange, huh? I also noticed Thomas mentioned his son George. Was this Jane's husband? Denise Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
