My GGGGrandfather - William Kelly b: 1771 in New York State (likely Dutchess County). Between 1802 & 1810 he removed to Marcellus, Onondaga County, NY and by 1811 Lysander, Onondaga County, NY where he d: 1861. He married Sarah ? abt. 1802 and they had 9 children. Ancestry DNA compared to FTM DNA indicates a possible link to Ebenezer T. Kelley in NJ. If your ancestors lived or moved throuygh central NY state and you are a descendant of Ebenezer T. Kelley, we should compare notes.

Rene,

I have seen some articles on David O'killia in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register about 1997.  David lived in Massachusetts and my line of ancestors ended up moving to Rhode Island and then Vermont.

According to the book "History of Barbour County" by Maxwell Hu:

Ebenezer and Rachael lived in Maryland for two years and then moved to Hampshire Co (W)VA where they remainded for 4 years and then crossed the Alleghanies into Randolph County (now Barbour) and settled near Meadowville in 1795 or early the next spring. Rachel's parents, Robert and Mary Johnson had lived near Meadowville for many years.  The 1816 Land Book records in the Randolph County Courthouse show Ebenezer Kelley purchased 250 acres of land for the sum of $45 from William Wilson.  The land was situated from the Tygarts River to the mouth of Ford Run.

Rene - where did Ebenezer and Samuel live? I am looking for parents/siblings of my ancestor Benjamin Kelly who married Rachel Perrine (of NJ). They lived in Tompkins County, NY, in the early 1800s. I know Rachel's line but cannot connect Benjamin to anyone. Rachel was born in 1776. They were married about 1794 in NJ.

My records show that Ebenezer T. Kelley's father was Samuel, altho I don't have a proof.  My notes say that Samuel lived in Somerset Co. NJ as early as 1763.  In a Google search I found that the distribution of Kelleys in Ireland during the mid 1700s was concentrated in Leinster, Munster, Connacht & Ulster.  If it is true that Samuel Kelley came from northern Ireland, then the search should be in Ulster Province, because it's the only one of the four that's in northern Ireland.

There is a book which I haven't been able to find called "Kelley Genealogy" by Eunice Kelley Randall (1962). The book supposedly covers the Kelley family all the way back to David O'Killia in 1645.  I found an email address of someone who said they have a copy of the book, so I've written to ask him/her to check for a listing for Samuel Kelley.

I also have heard of another book called "Kelly History" by Margaret Kelley Marsh, which I can't find either.

Hi Cassie, 

I do know theirs like 9 or so Kelley DNA Groups. I have had others ask me about a Jonah, but have yet to link him to our side through census. I can tell you that if it is at all possible for a direct male from your Kelley line take a DNA test, it can be very helpful in your search. I know that I printed a copy of all the Kelley DNA Groups and they have list of others names. Give me a day or two to look them over and I will see if I can find what your looking for. I may also have the email information in my records as well. I hope you are well and will get back to you soon. -Kandie Kelley
