Peter Kelly was born in 1751 in Ireland. His wife was Jane Ewing b. 1758. They were both buried near their last home, in Wilcox Co., AL, Peter Kelly passing away 19 DEC 1839 and Jane passing away 24 MAR 1838. Their stones and the stones of some of their descendant have survived (see link above) and were moved (as recorded by Bob Jones) to a new location around 1990 for safekeeping.

One Peter Kelly is listed in the 1790 Federal Census in the Fayette District of Robeson Co., NC, with 1 white male over 16 and four slaves.
