      LeAnn Kelley:
      From Rick and LeAnn Kelley's research: We formerly believed that Jacob was a son of Walter and Sadie Kelly, however we no longer believe that to be true. A Kelly DNA project doesn’t point to his connection with this line. There were at least two and maybe more different Kelly lines in the Culpeper VA area, but as far as we can tell, Jacob was not part of the family of the more prominent landowner there. Tax lists show a James Kelly who would be the right age to be his father, but so far I have been unable to find any proof one way or the other.

      LeAnn Kelley:
      From Rick and LeAnn Kelley's research: We believe that Thornton Kelly is the son of Jacob's first wife, Margaret Gore, and that William Kelly is the son of Jacob's second wife, Jemima. The marriage record of Jacob Kelly and Margaret Gore was made in Culpeper Co. VA in 1790 [see next reference]. Jacob moved to the Loop/Loup Creek area of Fayette Co. by 1806.

      LeAnn Kelley:
      I transcribed Jacob Kelly's will from the original (Donna Forney Clark: a version appears below this reference), and I have a couple of differences. I read the daughter’s name as Pressilla rather than Tressilla, and one of the witnesses, M.P. Wyatt was omitted in your copy. Matthew P. Wyatt was the brother of Margaret Wyatt/ Wiatt who married Thornton Kelly.
