Let me know if you folk run into William Little who had a son named William Little with a lady named Dorcas Mullins-Kelly about 1814. I'm trying to determine if he might also be the father of James P. Kelly of 1818. This was during Dorcas' divorce from John Kelly. James later changed his last name from Kelly to Mullins (his mother's maiden name) between the 1860-1870 census in WV. Dennis Fields [email protected] Great great great grandson of James P. Kelly-Mullins (possible fathers' surnames are William Little, Hiram Walters, or Henry Davis). I'll need DNA from one of my great uncles before this is over, but I'm looking for a family story to back up and direct the test toward a surname. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael A.

I don't have any documented proof myself, but what I do have is the book "Thomas Hale Revolutionary Soldier and Some of his Descendants" or something like that. I also have a copy of his Rev. Pension file. In the pension file he metioned in 1821 I believe that he had seven children living at home and in 1823 eight children living at home. None of the children are named, but I don't think any of them would include Ruth since she married in 1819. In the book, Ruth is in fact listed as one of eight children identified for Thomas Hale and second wife Nancy Wood. Two additional children if I remember correctly are listed for Thomas and first wife Rachel Sheridan. Sources cited in the book are the Rev. pension file as well as land and property tax records from Franklin Co., VA. I have not yet researched in Franklin Co. myself for further proof. but a good place to sta! rt might be deed and probate records. A copy of Thomas' Rev. Pension file can be obtained from HeritageQuest. If you don't have access to it, let me know and I can forward copies of the files. I will scan the pertinent info from the book when I get a chance and send that to you also.
