Anything at all about these two would be appreciated.Thank you, Maureen >> I have the 1880 Census of Roane County and under KELLY I find Kelly Archibald 62 farmer born in Wv and also parents born in WV Sophrona single 25 daughter housekeeper Orlando 7 grand son I looks like to me that Orlando is living or visiting with his grandfather. There is no Blackburn or Jane Kelly or kelley listed in 1880 Census of Roane county. Pat in Fla
