Scott,
Thank you so much for your information. With your information and the records I have researched, I am pretty sure that John Kelsy listed in the 1860 census from Rheatown Post Office was my great-great- grandfather. I believe Annie V. Kelsy listed in the 1870 census was my great-grandmother. We knew her as Amy Viola. I think her mother died and, according to the 1880 census, a Violy Kelsey was living with the Jesse R. Earnest family and listed as a niece. I, also, found an 1880 death certificate for a widow named Mary M E Kelsey. In 1890, Viola (listed as Ola on the marriage certificate) married my great-grandfather, Richard Sullivan, in Indiana. They had one child, a son named Ralph Kelsay Sullivan. He married Anne Davis and they had one son, Kelsay Ridgeway Sullivan, my father. I do have a copy of Viola's death certificate. The only information about her father on the death certificate was that his last name was Kelsey. In the research I have done, it is so interesting to see how they changed the spelling of names. Thank you again.
