John R. Kelly had siblings: Matthew W. Kelly, George W. Kelly, born in Dothan, AL; and Charles Henry Kelly, born in Florala, AL. Apparently there was a community in Jasper County, GA called "Kelly". It was the home area of the Kelly's who apparently were farmers. About 1860 many of the Kellys moved to Dale County, AL, Columbia, Midland City, and Newton communities in Alabama. John R. Kelly had a wholesale grocery business in Columbus, GA using horses and wagons to deliver groceries over several counties. He then acquired steamers that plied the Chattahochee and Apalachicola rivers. His brother Matthew W. Kelly worked for him as a bookkeeper. Matthew was very frugal and bought into the business becoming a partner. He eventually bought out John R. Kelly, who moved to Montgomery and opened a cotton brokerage business.

John R. Kelly moved to Montgomery about 1900. He died during World War I. [From Patricia Strickland who obtained this information from Clyde Norwood]
