Aaron Kelley


Aaron Kelley was born c1776 most likely in Greenbriar County, Virginia. His first residence in Kanawha County, Virginia was located on Kelly's Creek Road near Fort Morris. Aarons neighbors at this time were the Hudnalls and on June 1, 1802 he married Frances Hudnall, the daughter of Joseph Hudnall II and Mary Ann Taylor. Their children were: Sara born c1801, Mary born c1808, William born c1809, Jesse A. born c1810, and Frances born c1811. Shortly after the birth of the last baby Frances died and in 1812 he married Keziah Smith born c1779. Their children were: John born January 1813, Hyram born c1817 and Lucinda born c1824. Sometime between 1810-1820 Aaron made his permanent settlement on land he had acquired in 1799 in the Poca District, now also called Kelly's Creek Road. Aaron died in 1854 and is most likely resting high on the hill in the Goff/McClanahan Cemetery overlooking the land he once owned. It is thought that Aaron and his brother Moses are either grandsons or nephews of Walter Kelley, but this has never been proven.
