I am searching for information on my Kelley family (note: it is spelled with two E’s). The 1860 Giles County census lists Mary Kelley, age 41; Thomas, age 21 (age varies depending on which census), Sarah J, age 16; Mary E, age 13; James R, age 9. Mary’s husband had not died. They were just separated. A letter written by Mary in 1867 from Giles County to James Riley in AK makes it clear the father was living and in the same general area. Thomas was my great, great grandfather. Thomas married Amanda White in Lawrence County in 1851. I believe Amanda was the daughter of Caleb White listed in the 1850 Giles County census. Their children were: Thomas born 1852; William R born 1853 (my great grandfather) John born 1856; Samuel H born 1858; Daniel J born 1859; Joseph D born 1862; Henry born 1864; Alexander born 1866; Jonas born 1868; Ida born 1870; and Alonza born 1872. William married Elizabeth Scott (aka Hepsey) about 1873. They had 2 sons, Edward born 1875 (my grandfather) and John Melvin born 1877. Edward attended school at Fall River. William was the overseer of a plantation located on SEVEN MILE ISLAND which is in the middle of the Tenessee River. It was owned by the Becker or Beckman family. It was a fair sized community and even had a post office. The island is much smaller now due to the building of dams. The family lived in the Lawrence County area til about 1893-94 when they moved to West Texas where William died. The family then moved to AK and the to OK. I would like to exchange information with anyone from this family and would especially like information on Thomas’s father. I will be happy to share any information I have.
