COUNTY LOUTH:

Dear Don,

I found your page today during a search for Kelly relation, Marrey.  There is a posting without an email address and I wonder if you might still have the contact.

 

The posting is from Kevin Keeley in the UK who gave an interesting account of the derivation of his name from Kelly, but more importantly lists his family as hailing from County Louth and emigrated to Philadelphia .  My Kellys are from County Louth with same point of entry as well and I am interested in seeing if there is more in common.

 If you are uncomfortable in sharing Mr. Keeley’s information, perhaps you would be so kind as to forward mine?  I have some postings on Ancestry.com that he might be directed to as well.  Thanks in advance.

 Regards,

CORK 04/07/07

Hi Mike and all other Kelley/Kellys reading this.  Maybe someone can help me
with my wall.  I cannot trace my Irish line back past my GGrand Parents,
John Kelly  (1816-1874) and his wife Honora Harrington (C'EBAGH)
(1821?-1895).  They brought their family of 10 boys and 1 girl to Calumet,
MI  about 1867. He had been a copper miner in the Allihies Mine in
Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Their older children (1842-1856) were
born in the townland of Coulagh Ard and Coulagh, Eyeries Parish. The 5
youngest children (1859-1866) were born in the townland of Cluin, Allihies
Parish. According to Johns death certificate his parents were Con and Mary
Kelly.  I think Honora's parents were Timothy Harrington and Helena
Sullivan. She may have been born in Dunnaway, Cork, Ireland.
 I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.  Thank you.  James R. Kelly

 Dear Joan,
 I don't know what info you have regarding your Kelleys but I have quite a
 large amount going back to about 1651.
 It is all on Excel spread sheet and if you desire i can send it or part of
 it to you.
 I also have the email address of the person who supplied most of the info

 You may think it is funny that an Australian has this info but I have been

Hi!

       Could someone please check the 1901 and 1911 Dublin City Directory for
Samuel O'Kelly/O'Ceallaigh?  The family was apparently living across the
street from St. Joseph's Catholic Church which is located on Berkeley Road. 
Samuel was a master bootmaker at a shop on Berkeley Road.  This was a large
family with 10 children, 3 of whom died at a young age.  Hoping to confirm
the names of all of the children, particularly those who died young.  Many
thanks!

DONEGAL, MASSACHUSETTS, 

04/07/07

Hello all,
      Although  I have been a member of this list for about 4 years, I never
had enough information to submit to 'Your Most Wanted Kelly"!

       Just a few month ago, I discovered my Greatgrandmother, MARY KELLY,
was born ABT. 1828, in Donegal, Ireland.
Her father was JAMES KELLY  of Donegal, and her mother was ELLEN McCUSKER,
also of Donegal.

       MARY KELLY  married RICHARD GORMAN     [perhaps of Limerick or
Kilkenny] about 1846, however PLACEof marriage, and DATE/PLACE  of entry to
US are unknown, at this time.  Possible places might be  Charlestown, MA; 
Belmont, MA.  and eventually, WALTHAM,MA where RICHARD GORMAN, and several
children are buried, later in the century, in Calvary Cemetary.

Also, RICHARD GORMAN'S mother was JOHANNA [Mirtell] GORMAN,  who died at 99
years of age and is also buried in WALTHAM,MA. She was also from "IRELAND".
     Mary [Kelly] Gorman, was a STRONG woman.  She buried several children,
while her husband was living, then her husband , who died in 1888, in
Waltham, Massachusetts, and several adult/ unmarried children after that.

     Kate 'KELLY' Gorman, my GRANDMOTHER, was born in Waltham, MASSACHUSETTS,
 on February 10, 1871. 

    I have no more information on the KELLY family,  or the GORMAN family.

    Does anyone have any KELLY's of DONEGAL, IRELAND, who might have come to
MASSACHUSETTS  around 1845 or before?

      I don't know if any KELLY'S  besides MARY KELLY came to the United
States, BUT a JAMES KELLY[FATHER/OR UNCLE]   was a Godfather to their FIRST
child, MARY KELLY [ who was born in Cambridge, MA in 1848. ]

         I think I included too much this time, but if anyone can sort
through it, I would love to hear from you;                            Thanks,
Lyn Walton

Mick, do you know what the "Doolin Kelly's" refer to/mean, I have recently
heard the term "Silverhill Kelly's of Donohill".  My West Tipperary Kelly's
are from Ballysheeda (Ancestral home of the Dwyers) and are also related to
the "Alleen Kelly's" from Alleen.

John Kelly a recently discovered relative of mine in Ireland sent me the
enclosed  about Kelly burials in West Tipperary, it might be of some
interest to yourself or other researchers seeking Kelly ancestors, you will
see that John refers to the "Silverhill Kellys" ( I have recently been in
contact with an Irish descendant of the Silverhill Kelly's who now lives in
Dublin.), John Kellys home in Cappawhite looks out over Gortnacoola(gh)
where some of the Silverhill Kellys once lived.

Carpe Diem, Vincent Le Plastrier

Resting Places of the Kelly's


The Kelly family which is situated mainly in West Tipperary with it's roots
in Annacarty and Donohill,  chief resting place was located in Kilpatrick in
the parish of Annacarty.     In the 1800's they were graveyards in
Kilpatrick (Annacarty), Doon, Toem (Cappawhite) Donohill (Annacarty),
Solohead, Shronell, Ballintemple (Dundrum) and Emly.  Two family of Kellys
were buried in Doon i.e. The Kellys of Toemaline Doon and Nora Kelly nee
Ryan of Alleen House, Black Din Kelly's wife.     This grave was her family
grave of Ryans who settled in Alleen.    They were no graves for Kellys in
Ballintemple, Toem, Solohead and surprisely Donohill where the Kellys had
settled around in the 1800's.  The Kellys who are known as the Silverhill
Kellys of Donohill are buried in Shronell (lattin) and tradition has it that
there are not the same Kellys.   There is the Emly Kellys, who claim
relationship and they are buried in Emly.    Naturaly, the Drumgill Kellys
of Borrisleigh are buried in Templederry and Ileagh (Borrrisleigh)



The majority of  Kelly's were buried in Kilpatrick up the advent of the New
Cemetery in Tipperary.     Several of the family moved from Kilpatrick to
Tipperary at the bequest of Dan Kelly who was Tipperary Town Commissioner
and under his administration Tipperary had built a new cemetery.     The
people who were used to being buried in their own family graves for
generations were reluctant to go into a new cemetery.    They rather be
buried with their own people in their own family graves.    People were
buried in old graves for generations until new regulations in the mid 1900's
allowed only 3 people to be buried in a grave.   Dan Kelly canvassed all,
his cousins to try and influence them to buried their loved one's in the new
graveyard and was successful.





Kilpatrick Graveyard


The Graveyard is an ancient burial ground and at one time was a church
ground.     The Kellys are buried here from around the late 1700's and early
1800's and would suggest that the families from Knockgloss and Coolacussane
were the main branches of all the Kellys.


The Kellys are buried in approximately a straight line down from the gate of
Kilpatrick and about 2/3 rows back from boundary wall and about 6/7 graves
in from right boundary wall.  The old tradition was we were buried under a
bush in Kilpatrick graveyard.    There are gravestones to Knockgloss Kelly's
,  Alleen Kelly's,  Churchfield Kelly's, Shandangan Kellys, the latter two
being Kelly's of Coolnagun.


 New Cemetery Tipperary



 The Kelly's who are buried in Tipperary are from; Davis Street, Chadville,
Alleen, Ballywalter/Ballinahinch, St. Michael St., Springmount Golden,
Ballinvassa.  and Curraghpoor.     The cousins; O'Dwyers of Publehill, O'
Neill of Clonganue, McCormack of Lisheen and others are buried in Tipperary.
The names just mentioned are in two rows long and mainly opposite each other
so in death and life they are all together.   The graves are situated half
way up the hill or drive from the main gate on the left as you face inwards.



Doon Cemetry

Kelly's of Toemaline Doon co. Limerick

Erected by Johanna Kelly of Toemaline in memory of her mother Winifred O'
Dwyer who departed this life Oct.18th.1875 Aged 62 years and her children
Mary Ann and Johanna.

Note Grave is about 9 in from back wall of the old grave yard.



Emly Cemetry St. Ailbe's

Note:The grave yard is divided into two halfs -left and right from footpath
down the middle .The numbers start fro the back wall.  Drumcomogue Kellys
are 4th from the wall on the left.    LisobyhaneKellys are on the right and
opposite Gubbins Vault

 I am looking for information on my grandmother's parents.  Their names
 are Patrick Kelly and Ann J. Kelly. According to the census in l881 for
 St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands they were from Dublin

 Patrick Kelly age 48 at time of the census year of birth 1833
 Ann J. Kelly  age 44   "    "   "     "                  1837

 I am assuming that those are the years of their births depending whether
 they had their birthdays around the time the census was taken.

 I do not if they had any which when living in Dublin but I do know that
 their son Michael was born in St.Helier in 1859

 Thank you very much to anyone who can help me. And bits of information

 Hi Don,
 Well, here goes.....hope I don't make any typos but will make sure none are
 in the names if I do. Sorry I can't do the Irish blips on the name as I don't
 know how....I'm sure there is a way.
 Have a great Sunday, Gretchen FLYNN

 The Dictionary of Irish Family Names by Ida Grehan

 (0) Kelly
 O Ceallaigh
 Kelly comes second to Murphy as the most numerous surname in Ireland. It goes
 back over a thousand years, as does the Kelly coat of arms, which has as its
 crest a mythical green beast, the enfield. When the Kelly Chieftain, Tadgh
 Mor O Ceallaigh, was killed at the battle of Clontarf  in 1014, the enfield
 is said to have come out of the sea to guard Tadgh Mor's body until his
 kinsmen could give him an honourable burial.

 The O Kellys were a powerful family in Connacht, where they ruled over a vast
 territory. When they were not fighting, they built churches and castles and
 they held high rank in the Church. They have been a shaping force in the long
 saga of Irish history and when they could no longer fight for their own
 country they went abroad to Europe and America. Today, there are far more
 Kellys in USA than there ever were in Ireland.

 In 1863 Colonel Patrick Kelly commanded the Irish brigade at Gettysburg. In
 1893 Michael Kelly was the US baseball champion. "Honest" John Kelly was the
 first Irish Catholic head of Tammany Hall. There were also the Kellys of
 Philadelphia. Jack Kelly was the first American oarsman to win an Olympic
 Gold Medal in 1920. His daughter was the much-loved Grace Kelly, film star
 and Princess of Monaco. Captain Colm Kelly was the US pilot of the bomber
 which destroyed a Japanese battleship at Pearl Harbor. James Edward Kelly is
 known as "the sculptor of American history".

 In Austria the Kellys served the Empress Maria Theresa so well she awarded
 them the title of Counts of the Holy Roman Empire, which they still hold. In
 Australia they have achieved dubious fame with Ned Kelly and his brothers,
 the outlawed bushrangers. They also had a bishop of Sydney.

 The Kellys have also been outstanding in the field of literature. Since the
 last century there has been a throng of Kelly dramatists, journalists, actors
 and novelists.

  County Louth, Ireland : "Mary Mills" [email protected]
     Saw your query looking for Kellys and O'Kellys in Co. Louth. Do you
 know anything about a John Aaron Kelly married to a Margaret
 Marry/Marrey? The family story goes he was a fennian who had to flee
 Ireland about 1880. According to family lore, the Kellys were makers of
 fine shoes and boots and the Marreys were weavers of table linens in
 Drogheda. In America John Aaron Kelly worked in the shoe industry, in
 management positions and lived in several cities in New York State.

     He may have had a sister or cousin Jennie Kelly who lived in
 Montgomery Alabama and married 1. a Dr. Nicrosi and 2 Phillips
 Fitzpatrick. She had a sister Claire who became a nun. Does any  of this
 ring a bell. I hope so I would like to meet a Kelly cousin.

Galway:

FRom Mike Kelly
[email protected]
G'day Don,

Oh yes, some of my mob owned a castle just south of Ballinasloe on the road
to Portumna. It was only small I think. I think it was part of a defence line and there were quite a few castles
built when they became fashionable.Many of them were burned down in various wars etc.
The castle which some of my ancestors built was built in about 1400 and was called Ballagh castle in Clontuskert parish, Galway. There is only a mound left now, most of the building material was probably purloined & is in other
structures around the district. It was only a pissy little one &, I bet, would have been drafty and damp in
the winter. Be good for arthritis etc. That line of Kellys went bankrupt (probably from gambling) and lost the
property in about 1830 or so. The old man, William, was a hard tough old bloke who knew how many beans
made five but his son, John, I think, probably tried to climb on his sisters marriage into what passed for high society in the area and this was more than he could afford.

Yes, it was our Kelly Clan Assn which had the idea of purchasing and
renovating a castle. We had one in mind but financing it would have been a
problem. Most of them would be on private land and you would have to negotiate with
the owner of the land. I'd imagine that doing up a castle would be a money,
time and patience consuming exercise.

 G'day Don,

 A couple of things.  If your ancestry is around Tuam you are more than likely of the Ui Maine
 sept, the largest of the Kelly septs. There are about nine septs and all but two are unrelated as far as we
know. There are also Kelly septs in the Isle of Mann (McKelly) and Scotland.
I think all Kellys were OKelly before QE1. Most dropped the "O" to sound less Irish in England probably and it
probably was better in business and employment. In some families there are OKelly, Kelly, OCeallaigh.
 In my family there are hyphenated Kellys, Brooke Kelly under the "Bs" in the phone book. There are not too many with the name spelled with the second "E" in Ireland, Australia, or England.

I am collecting Kelly data for the mix n match service for the Kelly Clan
 Association and all contributions will be gratefully acknowledged.
 Enclosed are a couple of inserts for your interest. The Kelly Clan Assn
are holding a clan rally in 2001 in Clare if you are interested.

From Mike kelly
[email protected]
 
With regard the spelling of our name, there is no official or correct
spelling at all. Recently I have been working on a line from a David OKilley of
Yarmouth, MA. He is descended from the OKellys of Gallagh Galway and on his descent
chart the name is spelled OKelley, OKelly, Kelley, Kelly, Killey.
In Elizabethan times the name was spelled sometimes Kellie. In Ireland, many people are changing the ways their names are spelled to the old way and in this case many Kellys are listed in the phone book as OCeallaigh.

You're Kelly was mentioned in the final battle, as follows:

 "The Irish marched at daybreak.  The army was split into three division:
the Dalcassians, led by Murrough & his son; the rest of the Mustermen, under
the command of the prince of the Deisi, Mothla O Fealan; and Taig O Kelly
with the army of Connacht and two companies from the Scot Land."

cc: to Black Sheep (for anyone interested in the final battle of Brian Boru,
Ireland).

Don:

You're Kelly was mentioned in the final battle, as follows:

 "The Irish marched at daybreak.  The army was split into three division:
the Dalcassians, led by Murrough & his son; the rest of the Mustermen, under
the command of the prince of the Deisi, Mothla O Fealan; and Taig O Kelly
with the army of Connacht and two companies from the Scot Land."

Taug O Kelly was your ancestor, right?

Have you visited my family page at

Lots of information on collateral families there.


From: jcurtis [email protected]

 Don - I just looked at your Homepage & it's extremely well-done....!  I'm
 saving it so that I can look at it again.

 I'm about finished with the book....do you want me to send some of the
 sources that Llywelyn used for her research?  Also, do you have the
KINCORA  poem by MacLiag (ca. 1015), about Brian Boru & family?  It's in the book.

Dublin and Armagh:

Don -

The last battle....Brian Boru was a Dalcassian...his oldest son was Murrough
(who always argued with Brian).

Brian, at the time was about 72 yrs. old, & Murrough insisted that Brian not
participate.  The battle was actually against Malachi, who had been the Ard
Ri before Brian...

Murrough was killed in the final battle and Brian was murdered in his tent
by the Viking, Brodir.

After Clontarf (battle area), both Brian & Murrough were buried (1012) at
Armagh.

What date is your first known Kelly?  He has to be related to Taig O
Kelly....

Let me know....

Clare To Australia

Good evening from Australia
Since my first posting to this list, I have found some more information,
that may assist making a connection with other Kelly researchers.

Patrick KELLY born abt. 1812. Parents Patrick KELLY and Margaret ?????
Patrick married an Ellen BOURKE and migrated to Australia before 1858.

Anybody make a connection?

Cork, Ireland

His name was Dennis F. Kelly born in the southern portion of Ireland in May of 1847 to parents Patrick Kelly and Margaret Stack (surname uncertain due to illegible handwriting).  He emigrated to US some time around 1860-4. Family folklore thought that he had come from County Cork, however research done by their Heritage Centre turned up nothing.

Unfortunately, that's all of the information that I have on this ancestor.

Hi Don Kelly

Below are a couple of most wanted Kelly adds I found on your most wanted

reached at. I would forward him some information on Jonathan Kelly and
Sarah Jane Bates. Sarah Jane was my Great Great Aunt. I have some

I see two listings for Jonathan Kelly in Tyrone from the IGI British Isles
site. They are: Jonathan KELLY Born:
1801 Tyrone, Ireland Father: Jonathan KELLY Mother: (Not listed) Batch
number: 8022837 Sheet: 18 Jonathan
KELLY Christened: Feb 1797 Donaghmore, Tyrone, Ireland Father: Thomas KELLY
Mother: Anne Batch
number: C700701 Their birth years are not that far apart. I guess you'd
have to check them both out in order to
be able to rule one out. Who knows, maybe they're cousins? Altogether there
are 23 Jonathan Kelly listings
(Includes KELLEY variant), those two in N. Ireland, several listings in
Dublin and some in England. I'll check for
Sarah Bates in a few minutes. Hope this is helpful. Gloria

My gggrandfather, Jonathan KELLY emigrated to Canada from Tyrone abt 1818,
settling in Quebec. There seems to be no
trace of where in Tyrone he came from. Names of his seven sons, in birth
order, are James, Robert, Jonathan, Thomas,George, Samuel, Joseph. He
married in Canada Sarah Jane BATES who was also from Tyrone. -Colin

Mary Beth wrote:-
Researching Kelly of Stradbally / Timaho(?), Queens County
My g-grandfather, James Patrick Kelly, was the son of Michael Kelly and
Catherine Buggy (Bogey).  He had at least 3 brothers, William,
Patrick,Michael, and a sister, Elizabeth. He was born around 1863.


Mary Beth

My gr-grandmother is a Foyle from Garryglass, Timahoe.  I remembered the
name Buggy when I was looking for the Foyles so I went back to the
Stradbally film to refresh my memory.

Going on what you gave above I found the following:-

June 5, 1857 Eliza of Michael Kelly & Kitty Buggy;  Witnesses Michael
McDonald & Ann Buggy  (Pg.23)

Dec. 16, 1860 Patt of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy:  Witnesses Patt
Shortall(?) & Biddy Buggy (Pg. 48)

Feb, 8   1863 Anne of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy.  Witnesses John & Cath.
Delaney (Entry #16)
Mar.15, 1863 Anne of Michael Kelly & Cath. Buggy.  Witnesses John  & Cath
Delaney (Pg. 64)
(Don't know why she's entered with two different dates.)

The film is LDS #0926128 - Baptisms & Marriages, 1820-1880 - Parochial
Registers of Stradbally.  The film notes say that The Catholic parish of
Stradbally contains the civil parishes of Moyanna, Stradbally, Curraclone,
Timogue, Kilcolmanbrack and Fossy.

You can probably find other relations as I just looked for the Buggy name
and didn't even look for Kellys.  In looking at my Foyle photocopies I found
a Wm. Buggy/Betty Burke(Vicarstown) as far back as 1826. A James Buggy in
Kyle, 1853, a Thos. Buggy in Moyanna, 1849 and also the years in between.
Doing research in this film can be very frustrating however.  In the early
years the Priest was certainly out to get his money's worth from each page
so the writing is very close -a ruler/magnifying glass might help.  Also he
was very slow to dip his pen in the inkwell and the writing is very faint if
not illegible sometimes but you get used to it and I found most of my
relations.

Hope this is of some help.

Hi, Don!


    I'm uncertain of a Connaught connection, but anything is
possible.  I do know that Sean Thomas O'Kelly (O'Ceallaigh),
former president of Ireland from 1945-1959, was born in Dublin in 1882.
I have not yet seen it spelled as you have it - O'Collaugh.  I'd like to
find out
more about Sean T.'s family since there is a connection of some sort
with the Hickey family or perhaps the Lubby/Looby family.  How fortunate
you are to be able to go back as far as 1610!  That's fantastic!  Best of
luck
in your research!  Have you checked out this website?
http://www.okelly.net/main.htm   Hope you find some worthwhile info there.

 Hi Joni. This is off list, but I wonder if you have further information
 about O'Kelly.

 I recently posted my family surnames O'Kelly and O'Collaugh.

 Our last known ancestor in Ireland was Colla O'Kelly around 1610. The
family
 originally came from Northern Connaught.

 Grandma said, "we were in Connaught a thousand years and around Tuam two
 hundred years, and our name was O'Collaugh later changed to O'Kelly then
 Kelly when they came to Virginia.

 I wonder if, due to different language translations, grandma misspelled
the
 name. Have you run across the O'Collaugh spelling? Did your O'Ceallaigh
come
 from Connaught?
 Was that name changed to O'Kelly? If so on all counts, when and where?

 Thank you,
 Donald O'Collaugh Kelly

Hello Don
As they say 'when God made time he made plenty of it'. Please forgive my
long delay in replying to yours of the last century.

My line of O'Kelly comes from Co Laois. They were one of seven septs of the O'CEALLAIG tribes.
Although of the same name they were not related. Your clan are most likley related to the O'Kelly's of U MAINE. One of the oldest clans of Ireland.

Members of this clan were the bodyguard to BRIAN BRU the last high King of
Irealnd, and as you know he died in battle against the Norsemen in 1014 in
the Battle of Clontarf. 

The book of O'Kelly's is in existance and I'am also
keen to souce it, when I do I'll let you know.
Keep in touch from time to time.

Your question to your question Sir is, "probably". Our Donald O'Kelly line
was last known  around County Leitrim and County Galway, Town Tuam in ca
1700.

We originally lived in Connaught and our Celt name was O'Collaugh. I am
informed that the Normans and Saxons spelled it differently.

Three brothers came early 1700's to settle in King and Queen County,
Virginia where they
dropped the "O" it is said to allay suspicion and avoid capture by British
loyalists.

They later fought with for the Virginia Militia which went under the command
of General Washington during the Revolutionary War. Only Alexander survived
the war.

I have heard of you Joe. Please tell me what is happening in Wicklow. How
about your line? Did they come from old Connaught, or perhaps from old
Munster?

I have been trying for a couple of years to find a copy, in Latin or
translated to Irish or English, of the Book of O'Kelly written probably in
the 14th or 15th century. The original book I understand is housed in the
Royal Academy in Dublin.

Do you have an idea where I could find for sale a translated version of the
O'Kelly book?

Our families lost our lands and were scattered by many battles over the
centuries, and thousands died. It would be nice if we could all connect
again. I can dream can't I?

Don't lose touch Sir, and have a Happy New Year .

 She was born and (I believe) remained in Ireland.  She married Joseph KENNY
 in Carlow Ireland (date unknown, but as their eldest child died in 1916, aged
 22, it seems likely that they would have married from around 1890 to 1893).
 They had around ten children:

 Michael Joseph (Died, in WW1 June 1916, Aged 22. Details listed in
                           Commonwealth War Graves Commission Web site)
 Paddy (Also died in WW1?)
 Joe -  Had about six children

 John - Had about four children 2m 2f (Michael, Molly, Ellen and ?).
 Elizabeth - Had three children (Michael, Maurice and Maureen), who had about
                    four, Five and nine children respectively).
 Helena (Ellen) Josephine - (My Maternal Grandmother). She married John DOOLEY
                                          on 11 February 1918, at University

Thanks - I would appreciate your posting.  What is the address of the "Most
Wanted" page?   Anyway, these folks have been elusive and hunting for
Kelley's is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. . . .

Anyway, here's what I know:

Marquis Lafayette Kelley was born September 1836 "near Nashville" and died
January 4, 1895 in Hickory County.  He married Hanna Elizabeth Ritchey
November 26, 1865 in Elkton, MO.  She was born March 4, 1849 in Elkton, MO
and died May 24, 1927 in Hickory County, MO.  Children:

William Barrington Kelley. b. Feb. 24, 1865 Hickory County, MO; d. May 21,
1947
James Franklin Kelley, b. Sept. 17, 1866, d. October 24, 1897
Minnie Era Kelley, b. Apr 4, 1871; d. Apr 13, 1947
Joseph Clay Kelley, b. Nov. 1, 1873
John Marquis Kelley, b. Sept. 15, 1876
Sarah Evaline Kelley, b. Mar 23, 1881, Hickory County; d. May 28, 1951,
Hickory Co., MO
Dina Mae Kelley, b. Jul 11, 1882
Mary Ethel Kelley, b. Nov. 9, 1884, Hickory Co., MO; d. Feb 16, 1969
Nancy Holly Kelley, b. Oct. 15, 1886; d. Feb. 15, 1914
Bessie Roslie Kelley, b. May 11, 1888, d. Mar 16, 1918
Jessie Matthew Kelley, b. Sept. 29, 1891

Marquis Lafayette (also seen as Marquis D. L.) Kelley was first found in the
Missouri census in 1860 in Hickory County, Missouri, although it is thought
his family came to Missouri earlier.  He served in the Civil War and never
fully recovered from wartime illnesses, dying in 1895.

His parents may have been James H. Kelley,  b. abt. 1791 Ireland and Sarah
Unknown, b. about 1810 in Virginia.  At any rate, this is the only other
Kelley family shown in the 1860 Hickory County Census.  The census listing
is:

James H. Kelley, 69, b. Ireland
Sarah, 50 VA
 William, 21, TN, farmer
James, 17, TN, farmer
Samuel, 12, IL

I know this is fairly limited, but just about all I know about Marquis
Lafayette Kelley.  Thank you for posting on your page.

Perhaps an indirect connection. My Marcus was born about 1855 in Atlanta.
His father was Doctor Jesse R (Richardson) Kelly who was born 1833
Habersham
County, GA.
Jesse was one of five sons of Hiram (Hyrum) Kelly who was born 1787 in
Burke
County NC.

His five sons were Hiram Jr., Joseph, Benjamin, Andrew J., and Jesse and
Andrew
stayed in GA. Family history is that they had McGee and Kelly kin in
Tennessee. Hiram Sr. had several un-named as yet brothers. Far as we can
tell, they didn't go to GA, but were not found in NC, so they could have
gone to TN.

Hiram Sr. with Jesse and Joseph and Marcus moved to Arkansas 1858. Hiram
Jr., Benjamin and Andrew J (Jackson) stayed in GA. This is the second
Marcus
I have seen in the Kelly line and they did repeat the names. They were
named
after Lafayette who was on our side during the war of 1812.

That branch of the family was one of thirteen Kelly/Kelley families that
lived in the whole state of VA between 1750 and 1775. One of those families
moved to KY. We don't know about the other eleven families.

Give me more information and I will post it to the Most Wanted Kelly page.

Adding to the mix:

There is a site (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gwhtml/gwhome.html) that has
George Washington's diary scanned and indexed.  There are a few Kellys in
index.  In Virginia, Washington attended the play, "A Word to the Wise", by
Hugh KELLY.  I highly recommend this site.

In my local library the plays by Hugh KELLY, 1739-1777, include "A Word to
the Wise", "Clementina", and " False Delicacy".  LDS has a Hugh KELLEY b.
1739 in Dublin, and Hugh KELLY b. 1739 in Lancaster, Virginia.  No parents
named.  Lancaster Hugh married abt 1765 Elizabeth WILLIAMSON.  One son, John
Kelly, born March, 1766.

Anybody familiar with this Hugh Kelly?  Did he ever come to America?  Could
Dublin and Lancaster Hughs be same person?

 I have learned recently that my dad's maternal great-grandparents were
 Patrick Kelly and Barbara McLaughlin and they were from Country Donegal.

 Their daughter, Grace Theresa Kelly, was my great-grandmother.  When she
 married my great grandfather, John Daniel Harvey, on February 16, 1886 in St.
 Agatha's Church in West Philadelphia, she resided at 738 North 36th Street.

 Unfortunately, that's all I know.

NOTE: 

Many citizens of Ireland suffered loss of their lands through charges trumped up by British influenced courts, and were after conviction transport to other colonies as convicts. 

Conviction in the British Courts doesn't mean they did anything wrong, certainly not proof that they stole anything. In many cases recorded by history, they just didn't show proper respect for the foriegn King who's armies dominated their every day lives. 

For that Patriotism to Ireland, their lands were stolen and they were transported. Depopulating the land was a master plan of the King, to replace disloyal subjects with loyal subjects.

One often hears about something being done to a landlord, but one rarely hears that the landlord was British, and the land he was lord over was stolen from the people who lived on the land.

Subject: David O'Kelley, OKelly, O'Killia etc. etc.

I have been researching the line of Richard Kelley (m to Maria Gibbs in 1775) 
for many years and have been quite stuck.  I have inquired to the 
Kelley/Kelly list several times without luck.  I have gotten nowhere until I 
went to original (and hard to read/find) records themselves.  Apparently I 
was the victim of false info and a 19th century coverup.  You see, family 
tradition has it that Richard Kelley came to America on a ship from England, 
and that he was in fact English.

Much painstaking probing has proven this story quite wrong.  Richard was in 
fact born in Barnstable, Mass. to Benjamin O'Kelley and his wife Mary (a land 
record).  As it turns out, Benjamin is the grandson of the famous (in 
Kelley/Kelly circles) Irish immigrant David O'Killia through his son Benjamin.

As most of you know, the 19th century was quite intolerant of "the Dirty 
Irish" and I believe my ancestors chose to forget about their Irish roots.  
The story was concocted that they were in fact descended from Englishman.  I 
believe that still later when my family genealogy was starting to be 
researched, the English story was uncovered, and a well meaning researcher 
attributed the "English immigrant" story to Richard since he proved to be 
quite an illusive stumbling block for info.  (In fairness to my Irish 
descended ancestors, a lot of Irish families made up the same "English 
Descent" story for survival.  Irish were banned from most establishments, and 
jobs were with held from Irish people). 

Since I am now researching David I have read several articles that have 
listed David O'Killia as the son of Mac Tiege O'Killia and Anna Daly of 
Galagn Ireland.

Thanks to Mike Kelly of Australia - I can set the record straight: his 
parents are named John McTiege (son of Tiege) O'Kelly and Anna Daly of 
Galagh, Co. Gallway, Ireland.  I now have John McTiege's pedigree back to 
Adam & Eve. 

Since I am fairly new to the David O'Killia arena, I am requesting any info 
on him and his descendants I can find.  Land Holdings, Stories, Occupation, 
Books, articles, etc..

Any help would be appreciated.  Please only reply with info or questions.

From County Armagh Ireland To Sydney, Australia:

  ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valentine Rochfort" [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 7:51 PM Subject: Most Wanted Kelly
 My gggrandfather,Hugh Kelly,was convicted of theft at the Armagh assizes in
 April 1802 and sentenced to seven years transportation to Sydney.

 He arrived on the transport "Rolla"in May 1803 and
 after serving his sentence prospered well,dying a wealthy man in 1835. The
 present day suburb of Kellyville commemorates his name.

 Kelly was described as being 65 years old at the time of his death although
 the 1828 Census of New South Wales records his age as 45.

 He had a brother Owen and named his only son Joseph which may be an
 indication of his father's name.

 Any info re the background of this family in Ireland would be much

County Kildare to New York City 1906:

Good Morning,
My most wanted Kelly family is that of my grandfather, Patrick Joseph KELLY.
His death certificate lists his parents as Simon Kelly and Mary Cushing.
He was born 13 March 1888, and died 6 June 1940.
His immigration/naturalization data list his place of residence as
Monastrevin, Co. Kildare, Ireland.  Departure from Queenstown, on the Umbria,
in March of 1906.
Arrived NY March 12, 1906. 
Simon Kelly was allegedly a "trainer of horses", and in fact the Curragh has
an S. Kelly, of Co Meath listed in their books of horse trainers.
I know that PJ had 2 brothers, John of Port Arthur TX and Joseph of either NY
or NJ.
I have more, but this should suffice for now.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks Patricia Snyder

 living in Barry County, Michigan (1870 MICHIGAN CENSUS RECORDS} and having 8
 children,  being born in Michigan, from 1855 to 1869.

 Michael and Honora born in Ireland:
       Michael was born abt. 1827
       Honora abt. 1836.
 The childrens names are given as Elvira (?) 15, Mary 13, Katine (?) 11,
 Thomas 9, Maggie7, Michael 5, William 3, Frank 1 and all born in Michigan.

 If I read information correctly the Michael Kelly's migrated to US somewhere
 around 1852-53.  When they moved to Michigan, I don't know.   I do know they
 had a farm and it was listed as being worth around $6,000 in 1870.

 They were Catholic and my grandfather's  full name I am told was William
 Timothy Aloysius who married my grandmother, Mary Engle in 1890.  William at
 time of marriage listed Colorado Springs, Colorado as his address.

 Would like to locate Irish roots and where and when my greatgrandfather
 died.  He  was a Chicago motorman at the time of my father's birth. They
 lived in Chicago, how long, I don't know.  His wife was left a widow with

Looking for ancestors and descendants of Edward Kelly (or Kelley) who
was born in Ireland probably between 1820 and 1850.  Where he was born
in Ireland is not known.  He married Mary (surname unknown) in Ireland.
Edward and his wife had at least two children.  One was a boy who became
a Catholic priest.  The other was my grandmother, Mary Kelly, who was
born about 1873.  Mary was orphaned at an early age and was brought to
the USA (Port of NY) in 1876.  I have found records of a Mary Kelly who
came to USA as an infant on board the ship "Scythia", which arrived in
NY on May 4, 1876 from Liverpool, England.  Mary was accompanied by a
matron named Mrs. P.B. Kelly.  I assume Mrs. P. B. Kelly was a wife of a
relative of my grandmother.  In the early 1890s, Mary Kelly married
Thomas Hoary and they had eight or nine children.  To the best of my
knowledge, they always lived in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Any information on Edward Kelly, his wife Mary, or Mrs. P.B. Kelly would
be appreciated.

Born Liverpool, father's family from Galway; the name was Keely in Galway and also when the family first came to Liverpool but changed to Keeley after my grandfather's death in 1911. Reason why not known but there was another Keeley family in the village as well as at least one Kelly family. McLysaght says KEALY derives  from O'Cadhla, KEELEY and KEELY from O'Caella (a Galway sept), KIELY also from O'Cadhla, Kyally from O'Caollaidhe. KEALYS in Kilkenny and Leix gradually absorbed into KELLY one of the seven septs of Leix. KELLY is from O'Ceallaigh, original derivation possibly from Irish ceallach (strife). Some immigrants to America received "new" names on arrival simply because the officials were poorly educated and could not understand the brogue of these strange people from Ireland. PETER USTINOV the British actor tells of an Ustinov ancestor being entered in error as OFSMITH. Let me know if you have not found where the various places in Ireland are. I know where Corofin is, we went to Mass there when on holiday a few years ago and could probably find the others for you. A certain irony in me living in Louth, Lincs as my Keelys were said to have orignated in County Louth Ireland before being moved west during the plantations.Many of my grandmother's family finished up in Boston, some in Philadelphia. The last of the Boston line, a Jesuit priest, died four years ago aged 93.

 It is fair to say I know nothing about an Alexander Kelly from Armaugh
 County, Ireland. My Alexander Kelly was born in King and Queen County,
 Virginia in 1755. That family moved to Burke County North Carolina and
then
 in 1820 to Habersham County, Georgia. Alexander was a member (perhaps a
 Captain) in the Virginia Militia and later fought for the USA during the
 Revolutionary war.

 Now, a qualifier: There was another Alexander Kelly in Virginia born 1755
 place unknown. He also was in that war and received bounty land somewhere
in
 Tennessee while it was still part of North Carolina. His name turns up
often
 in searches, but so far, no direct connection.

 An early researcher in Virginia interviewed thirteen Kelly/Kelley heads of
 households and found that twelve were loyal soldiers of the line in 1750.
 One was a farmer (they probably all were) who moved to Kentucky.

 Hope you can connect us. I will keep trying.

 Don
