Kelly; Phillips
My ancestor was Alfred Kelly, a blacksmith born about 1813. I first find him on the 1850 census of Greene Co., Missouri, originally from Tennessee but I don't know where. Alfred moved to Missouri from Tennessee about 1842 based on birthplaces of his children. There is a George Kelly, who is the sheriff in the same town as Alfred in 1850 who may be a brother. Alfred and his wife Milla had 11 children, born between 1836 to 1856. The children's names were Delia, John, Lavina, Robert, Martha, Minerva, Geniva, Mary, Manda, Emily & Elizabeth. Alfred & Milla stayed in Greene County until at least 1880, and probably died there although I don't know when. My line is through Alfred's daughter Delia, who married Annanias Phillips and moved to Lawrence Co., MO by 1860. I think John was the only one of the 2 Kelly boys in the family that lived long enough to marry, and his wife's name was Margaret. They had 6 children that I know of from census records, born between 1859 & 1878 - Milla, Mary, Ellen, Sarah, Charles & Jessie. Would like to connect with others working on these lines.
