[Bourbon County]  [Paris and Precinct]

THOMAS KELLY, was a merchant and banker of Paris, the son of William and
Anna Maria Kelly, born Feb. 20, 1803, and died March 28, 1862.  His father
died when he was little over ten years of age, and he was reared in the
family of his stepfather, Hugh Brent.  He was educated at the Bourbon
Academy, of which his father was one of the founders, and at Transylvania
University, Lexington, Ky., where he graduated in 1820 or 1821.  Dec. 24,
1824, he married Cordelia Morrow, daughter of Col. Robert Morrow, of Bath
County, and his wife, Margaret Trimble Morrow.  He was in early life
actively engaged in mercantile affairs, carrying on mercantile
establishments at Paris, Mt. Sterling and Owingsville, a woolen mill at
Paris and a furnace in Bath County.  He met with heavy financial reverses
in the troublous time of 1843, and devoted his life to securing an
honorable extrication from them.  He became connected with the branch of
the Northern Bank of Kentucky, at Paris, on its first organization, and
was for many years, and at the time of its death, its cashier.  He was a
man of the kindliest disposition, of the strictest honor, and the
staunchest devotion to his principles and his friends, and few men had
more or better friends.  He was a firm friend of the Union, and the
outbreak of the civil war was a great grief to him.  Five of his sons
served in the Union army, and in attendance upon the death bed of one of
them, Lieut. Nicholas M. Kelly, 4th Kentucky Infantry, he contracted the
disease of which he died.  His widow survived him only a few years, dying
Oct. 31, 1864.
