I have an old Bible of date May 18,
1829, made out by my father, Thomas
Conway Kelly who was born in Va. Decr.
25, 1799.
James Kelly son of
Alexander Kelly &
Elizabeth his wife was born
12th
day of March 1737.
Susan Wilson his wife was born 4th
of October 1741.
John Kelly son of said James and
Susan was born 3rd
April 1761, Jane Payne his first
wife was born 31st
of August 1760; Dinah Conway his
2nd
wife was born 11th
May 1773.
James Y. Kelly, son of said
James and Susan
was born the 12th
September 1765.

The
following were children of James & Susan
Kelly:
John Kelly born 3d April 1761
Spicer Kelly born ---------
------ ------
Donathan Kelly born ---------
------ ------ (May be A. D. K.)
Molly Kelly born --------- ------
------ perhaps married Joseph Wilson Sr.
James Y. Kelly born 12 Sept. 1765
Alexr D. Kelly born ---------
------ ------ May be Donathan
Said to be a numerous family
My father said and I so recorded it
that: Alexr Kelly emigrated at an early
day from Wales and settled at Jamestown,
Va., (either he or his parents) his son
James who married a Wilson settled in
Westmoreland County, Va., and died in
that county. I have an impression that I
have heard my father speak of Alexr once
living in Maryland, but am not certain.
James Y. Kelly, son of James & Susan
Kelly, emigrated to Ky. about 1800. I
learn that he was living in Ky. from a
letter dated 25 July 1802 from Alexr D.
Kelly to him: also in 1825, a letter
written by one Spicer Wilson to his
"Dear Nephew". So I presume Spicer
Wilson married a daughter of Alexr &
Elizabeth Kelly. Alexr T. Kelly writes
under date 20 July 1825 to his brother
James Y. Kelly, stating that they were
the only two left out of a numerous
family.
