| NOTICE: patrilineal descendants of our subject are participating in the KELLY DNA Surname Project. Anyone who suspects he descends from our subject on a direct male line can support that connection with a DNA test. For a discussion of results and lineages for Haplogroup I2b KELLY/KELLEY, please see this page on my web site. |
| Husband: William KELLY / KELLEY
Birth: 12 Apr 1715, Baltimore Co., MD Death: 10 Oct 1796, St. Thomas Parish, Baltimore Co., MD Y-DNA Haplogroup: I2b1-Continental-2b (Group B) Brother said to be: James KELLEY, b. 1710 Father said to be: James KELLEY Mother said to be: Mary __?__ |
| Marriage-1: by 1741 |
| Wife-1: Elizabeth GORSUCH
Birth: ca. 1719, Baltimore Co., MD Death: by 1745, Baltimore Co., MD Father: Thomas GORSUCH Mother: Jane ENSOR Secondary sources say Elizabeth was born in 1730 and died in 1780. She cannot possibly have been born in 1730 if she had a child in 1741; and, unless William & Elizabeth were divorced, which would be unusual, she cannot possibly have died in 1780 if William & Eleanor were married by 1745. |
| Marriage-2: by 1745 |
| Wife-2: Eleanor CORBIN
Birth: 1710s/20s There's a Public Member Tree (online at Ancestry.com) claiming Eleanor is the daughter of Edward CORBIN & Jane WILKINSON. I have yet to find any evidence to support such a connection, though there is no doubt these KELLEYs were inter-marrying with these CORBINs. |
| Marriage-3 presumably: 1779/80 (prenuptual agreement dated 10 Dec 1779) |
| Wife-3: Mary MILLER |
| Children with Elizabeth GORSUCH: |

| Children with Eleanor CORBIN — born in Baltimore Co., MD: |

| These three are said to be their daughters, but they are not mentioned
by Barnes (1989: 383) as children of William. Mary's birthyear argues
strongly against her being a child of the same woman who was mother of
Rachel. Most women have a maximum span of fecudity of 23 years (from
age 20 to age 43); 29 years is just not realistic. Or are some of
Eleanor's earlier children actually Elizabeth's?
. Sarah KELLEY, b. 31 Mar 1763; m. Elijah CORBIN . Ruth KELLEY, b. 1768; m. Zachariah LOVEALL . Mary KELLEY, b. 1774/5; m. Micajah CORBIN We do know, for certain, that Sarah and Mary were sisters, just as their spouses, Elijah and Micajah CORBIN, were brothers. |
