Middle name often shown as Kellis or Killis, this is a corruption of Achilles, his given middle name at birth.

Had 14 children! Not all lived to maturity but those that did tended to have large families as well. My grandfather had 9 children, for example.

Per Y-DNA by a great grandson, Scottish ancestry in the male line -- Clan Johnstone. Comparing this Y-DNA to other close matches, ancestry traces to Poldean in Scotland, 1400's. Working to find paper trail to join him up with DNA relatives. Genetically belongs to a haplogroup of Danish Vikings who migrated to Scotland.
