JOHN and JANET PIERSON family migrated from North Simcoe, Ontario, Canada abt 1881, bringing with them twin daughters, JANE and HENRIETTA, b. 02/02/1869, and at least two sons, ROBERT and TED (possibly Edward)PIERSON. The PIERSON'S may also have had other children. CHARLES KELLY moved to WI with his family from Dutchess Co, NY sometime after his birth in 1850. CHARLES and JANE PIERSON KELLY (marriage date and place unknown), birthed 4 boys in Barronett...John T Kelly, b. Bef 1889, Harry Charles (or Charles Henry) Kelly, b. 09/21/1889, Bernard E Kelly, b. 12/07/1891, and William R Kelly, b. 10/22/1893. First son, John, died from Diptheria before 1910. The family moved on to Shell Lake, Washburn County sometime between 1893 and 1896. They had 3 more children in Washburn Co, Genevieve Beatriece Kelly, b. 05/08/1896, Merton (male) and Myrl (female) Kelly (twins), b. 04/10/1898. The family moved on to Pratt (Grand View), Bayfield County around 1900, where charles Kelly worked as a camp foreman for the WillowRiver Lumber Co. for 17 years. The family then moved on to Superior, Douglas Co. I have no records regarding CHARLES KELLY before the birth of his son Harry in 1889. His obituary from the Telegram in Superior, dated 02/14/1923, states that he was born in Dutchess Co, NY in 1851. His gravestone at Calvary Cemetery in Superior states 1850 as birth year. JANE PIERSON's family emigrated from Ontario, Canada abt 1881, according to Bayfield Co. 1910 Census records. I can only assume, at this point, that Barron County is where Jane and Charles met. Any look-ups or information regarding the PIERSON and KELLY families would be gratefully appreciated. I do have the birth registrations for all the Kelly children except John T. Kelly. Thank you so much.
