Biography of James Kelly:

James Kelly (c1783 - a1850) of Greene County, Georgia appears to be living with his father, Daniel Kelly, as his name appears as drawing a single blank in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery. This suggests he was over 21 and unmarried at that time. James Kelly, as well as, John Kelly (likely his brother) of Greene County, Georgia were more fortunate in the 1807 Land Lottery as James was granted 202 1/2 acres known as Lot No. 296 in District 21 (Armours Militia District) of newly created Wilkinson County. John Kelly was granted 202 1/2 acres known as Lot No. 100 in the same district of Wilkinson Co. Georgia. It is not known what James did with this grant, but it is unlikely that he moved onto this land.

On 20 January 1808, James Kelly married Polly (Mary) Wyatt in Greene Co. Georgia. They were married by James B. Holt who also performed the marriages of James siblings, Charles R. Kelly and Polly Kelly.

We next find James Kelly and his family listed in the 1820 Census of Jasper Co. Georgia. That census shows James Kelly - 1 male <10 (son #2 born c1815) 1male 10-16 (son #1 b. c1809) 1 male 45+ (James) 1 female 16-26 (his wife Mary. At the time we believe Mary was about 32 years of age which is inconsistent with the 16-26 age checked on the census. None the less we believe this is the James Kelly family of this genealogy.)

A James Kelly, Sr. of Jasper County, Georgia is listed in the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery as having been granted Lot 191 in Section 7 (Kindalls Militia District) of Early County. It is not known if this James moved onto this land grant. It is not clear if this record is of James of this genealogy as there is another, younger James Kelly family in Jasper Co. Geogia listed in the 1820 census. However, if this record is of James Kelly (c1783) it could suggest that his oldest son was named James.

We next find James Kelly and his family listed in the 1830 Census of Jasper Co. Georgia. Jas. Kelly 1 male <5 (son #5 b. c1828), 2 males 5-10 (sons #3 b. c1822 & #4 Charles b. c1825) , 1 male 10-15 (son #2 b. c1815), 1 male 20-30 (son #1 b. c1809), 1 female <5 (dau. #3 b, c1828), 1 female 10-15 (dau. # 2 b. c1819), 1 female 15-20 (dau. #1 b. c1812), 1 female 40-50 (wife, Mary)

James Kelly is found next listed in the 1840 Census of Harris Co. Georgia. This suggests he moved out of Jasper Co. to Harris Co. between 1830 and 1840. The census reads: J. Kelly 2 males 5-10 (sons #6 b. c1832 and #7 George H. b. c1833), 1 male 10-15 (son #5 b. c1828), 1 male 15-20 (son #4 Charles b. c1825), 1 male age 20-30 (son #2 b. c1815), 1 male 50-60 (James), 1 female <5 (dau. #4 Frances j. b. c1835), 1 female 10-15, dau. #3 b. c1828), 1 female 50-60 (Mary).

A very definitive census record of the James Kelly family is found in Muscogee Co. Georgia in 1850. This suggest that the family moved from Harris County in the adjoining county of Muscogee between 1840 and 1850. The 1850 Census of Muscogee Co., Georgia reads:

James Kelly 67 m Del
Mary Kelly 62 f SC
Charles Kelly m 25 Jasper Co. Ga.
George H Kelly m 17 Harris Co. Ga.
Frances J. f 15 Harris Co. Ga.

The 1850 census clearly shows that James was born in Delaware about 1783 which is consistent with his brother, Charles being born in Delaware about 1785. This census also lists the county in which the children were born.

Based on the above census records it appears that James and Mary had seven sons of which only the fourth son, Charles and seventh son, George H. are identified. This couple also appears to have had four daughters of which only # 4 Frances is identified.

James Kelly could not be found in the 1860 Census of Georgia. He thus may have died or moved out of the state by then.

Biography of James Henry "Boog" Kelly.:

James H. "Boog" Kelly, well known farmer and Justice of the Peace, was shot and killed 19 November 1923 on the public road near Brandywine Branch between Herod and Chickasawhatchee in Terrell County, Georgia. He was 74 years of age. He was shot by Mr. Enoch Thrash, who was moving a negro tenant from the Kelly farm to the Thrash farm. Upon learning of the move Mr. Kelly, accompanied by Mr. J. T. Coker of Herod, started in pursuit and overtook them at the branch when some words occurred and the shooting followed. Mr. Trash turned himself in to the Sherrif claiming he acted in self-defense. Mr. Trash was tried two weeks later for the killing inTerrell Co. Superior Court and was acquitted based on his claim of self defense which was supported by the eye-witness , Mr. J. C. Coker.
