Albert William Kelsay was first married to Charity Foster on 20 Dec. 1865 in Grant County, Indiana. Charity died 1 year later on Nov. 8, 1866. Albert married next Sarah Jane Eastes about 1867. I can't find a marriage recored, but this is from the

" Lewis Family Pioneers of Eastern Tennessee and Indiana Territory by William G. Lewis Reprint in 1979 by The Bookmark, Knightstown, Ind., Page 52, 53."

" My mother, Lucinda A. Eastes, was the oldest daughter of Holman Eastes and Ruth Webb Eastes. Their children were as follows: Lemmuel F. , born 1883, married first, Rebecca Cunningham. second. Jane Potts. Adison E., born 1839, died when young; Lucinda a., born 1841, married Austin P. Ward; William T., born 1844, married Sarah Zedaker; Sarah J., born 1847, marrid Albert Kelsay; Jasper N., born 1848, died when young; Marshal T., born 1850, married Jane Morris; Albert, born 1852, died when young; Ameridith P., born 1854, married Florence Jackson; Jessie E., born 1856, married William F. Ward; Jerome S., born 1861, died when young."

Children born to Sarah Jane and Albert were: Charles W. Kelsay, Julia Kelsay, Virginia, Beril or Beryl, Estella, Louella, Paul, Minta, Hazel, Georgia. Minta, Hazel, and Georgia died as babies.

About 1900 Albert entered the National Military Home in Grant County, Indiana. He is there in the 1900 census. Sarah Jane Eastes claims to be widowed in the 1900 census and is living with her son Paul Kelsay. Sarah and Albert were divorced. Albert left the home recovered from his ailment and married Sarah Jane Hollingsworth, widow of Ezra Oakley on 29 of January 1908 in Grant C In. She had 4 children from her previous marriage: Hattie, Charley, Bernice and John Oakley. She didn't have any children with Albert Kelsay.

To confuse things more there is an Albert Kelsey who married Sarah Ellen Wright in Montgomory County, but this isn't the same guy. He is living in Grant County the whole time and all of his children belong to Sarah Jane Eastes.
