William M. Kelly/Kelley was born in Ireland but the location is unknown. William and several siblings were living in Brooke County, Virginia (now West Virginia) prior to 1812. In 1812 he settled in Harrison County, Ohio with his family. He is listed in the tax records for Green Township 1816-1819, Archer Township 1820-1825, Archer and German Township in 1828 all in Harrison County, Ohio. In the 1850 Federal Census he is living in German Township, age 80, born in Ireland, wife Sarah, age 75, born in Virginia, and daughter, Christiana, age 39, born in Ohio. Their youngest son, Daniel Kelley, is listed next on the census with his wife Sarah (both age 40) and 8 children. After the deaths of William and Sarah Kelley, most of their children moved to Allamakee and Clayton Counties in Iowa between 1860-1861. Mary married Thomas Woolf/Wolfe, Elizabeth married Samuel Denning later John Sarbaugh, Nancy Ann married Francis Barnhouse II, Christiana was single, and Daniel married Sarah Moore. Philip Kelly married Mary Barnhouse, remained in Ohio, living in Carroll County and buried in the Perrysville Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery. The youngest daughter, Sarah "Sally" Kelly, married William Barnhouse. They remained in Harrison County, Ohio. They and three of their children are buried in the Center Unity Cemetery.
William M. Kelly married Sarah "Sally" Beal (1775-1854) in 1799 in Brooke County, (West) Virginia. Sally was the daughter of Philip Beall and Mary Byers of Holidays Cove, Virginia. It is believed Sarah is buried next to her husband but either she did not have a stone or her stone fell into disrepair. William Kelley's will was dated January 9, 1849 and probated in March of 1854 in Harrison County, Ohio which was the year his wife died. It is assumed this explains why the delay in not probating his will after he died in 1851. The executors of the estate were Philip and Daniel Kelly and witnessed by Thomas Tomlinson and James Hanna. Sarah and the children were named in the will. I am a gt.gt.gt.gt. granddaughter of William and Sarah (Beall) Kelley/Kelly. Much of the family history was passed down from generation to generation. A family tree which was handwritten in the early 1920's was distributed among the various descendants living in Allamakee County, Iowa. In the 1970's I continued to update the information by using census reports, cemetery records, historical and biographical records and published books in Harrison County, Ohio and Allamakee County, Iowa and most recently through FAMILY SEARCH AND FIND A GRAVE which have supported the documentation which was already known.
