John Kelley Jr. and wife Nancy Missouri Owens lived near Camden in Kershaw County, South Carolina. My recent research indicates that Nancy was probably his second wife and that he had a daughter by his first wife.
The children of John and Nancy Missouri (Owens) Kelley were the following:
1. William H. Kelly b. 1840 SC
2. Mancel Pinkney Kelley b. 1 Sept 1843 in Kershaw Co., SC
3. Mary Jane Kelly b. 10 March 1846 SC
4. Harvey H. Kelly b. Dec 1849 SC
5. Singleton Frost Kelley b. 25 Dec 1851 Kershaw Co., SC
6. Edna E. Kelley b. 13 Sept 1854 Kershaw Co., SC
The obituaries of these siblings will be given in the order of their deaths.
William H. Kelly's date and place of death are unknown.
Harvey H. Kelly's obituary has not been found, but this news item appeared. It was common to report on deaths by suicide. Harvey H. Kelley never married, and at the time of his death, he was living in his nephew Stephen Clyburn's household. Harvey's mother Nancy (Owens) Kelly was also living in the Clyburn home.
Mary Jane (Kelly) Clyburn died on 21 May 1909 in Kershaw County, South Carolina. No obituary or death notice has been found for her, but there was an obituary for her husband Capt. Lewis L. Clyburn, who died in Kershaw County, South Carolina on 28 February 1925.
Note that Lewis L. Clyburn's obituary provides the information that his first wife was Miss Mary J. Kelly and that their children were T.B. Clyburn, S.S. Clyburn, L.C. Clyburn, and Dr. W. R. Clyburn.
Mancel Pinkney Kelly died on 19 June 1912 in Tupelo, Coal County, Oklahoma.
This obituary would mislead the reader into thinking that M.P. Kelley had lived in Oklahoma for 20 years. Instead, he lived for many years in Titus County, Texas. I believe that this death notice was placed by brother Singleton Frost Kelly.
Singleton Frost Kelly died on 6 December 1918 in Kershaw County, South Carolina. An obituary for him has not been found, but there was one for his wife who died in 1924.
Her obituary names their surviving children: Mrs. S C Clyburn, Mrs. L. J. Watts, and M. Blake Kelly.
Edna E. Kelley died on 12 January 1923 in Kershaw County, South Carolina.
Edna E Kelley never married. At the time of her death, she was living with her nephew Dr. W. R. Clyburn.
