This biography is from a short account of her husband, James, published in The log of of Sterling B. F. Clark, a forty-niner (1825-1852).

Daughter of Jeremiah Kelly and Jane Mulhall Kelly, of Stradbally, Queens County, Ireland.

Her uncle was Burrows Kelly, Esquire, a famous barrister of Queens County, Ireland.

Her first cousin on her mother's side was William J. Corbet, Member of Parliament, from County Wicklow, Ireland, a well-known publicist and poet.

James Phelan proposed to Alice in 1855 at Brooklyn, New York.

Alice came to California via the perilous Panama route, later in 1855, being chaperoned by US Senator Joseph Lane, of Oregon, and House Representative Lafayette Grover, who were family friends.

Alice married James Phelan in May 1859 in old St. Mary's Cathedral, at California and Dupont streets, San Francisco, the Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany, presiding.

Alice and James resided in San Francisco where their three children were born.
