Hi, Barb,
Some
corrections and additional information:
George
Washington Kelley's parents were: James (not John) Kelley
and Elizabeth Sledd. This information is from the
record of George W. Kelley's marriage to Nancy Divers Greer. James Kelley and
Elizabeth Sledd were married 6 November 1787 in
Amherst County VA.
George
Washington Kelley is my 3rd-great grandfather. He was born 9 March 1794 in
Amherst County, VA (not in Stokes County NC). I have a copy of the eulogy
printed in a Primitive Baptist newsletter that has the incorrect information
about George being born in Stokes County NC. I started proving/disproving
information in that eulogy in 1976.
Land records
show that the family moved from Amherst Co VA to Stokes Co NC in 1798, four
years after George was born.
I know of few
descendants who spell the name Kelly (without the 'e'). Of course, many records
for this family are spelled both ways. In fact, some of George W.
Kelley's records have his name spelled both Kelly and Kelley.
I'll send
more updates/corrections as I find them.
Thank you,
Paula
Kelley Ward
