Doris;
I just read your message posted about the Moses Kelsay family and particularly about his son James. I have a copy of the late Carl Kelsays' manuscript on the Kelsay family and found one glaring mistake among others. James Kelsay never married except one time . His wife was Jane Hamilton Hursha or Hershey? She died after her husband and there is absolutely no documentation of another marriage for Moses. Carl Kelsays work lists four children by the second wife; but the dates are completely wrong for several of these children. I am a descendant of Mary "Polly" (Kelsay) Tow 1814-1907 she and a sister Martha (Kelsay) Shuman) Morgan both went to Llano co., Texas. Martha died in 1877. I have some other info. on this Kelsay line; but most is taken from Carl Kelsays' manuscript; which has errors.
