KELLY
John Kelly b. before 1765 resided Town of Southport, Chemung County, New York in the Seeley Creek Valley near the state line. On 1 Oct 1807 Seth Marvin and wife Mary of Blooming Grove, Orange County, New York sold to John Kelly, two hundred acres of the Wells & Holbrook purchase in the Seeley Creek Valley in the Town of Southport, Chemung County (that portion that was known as Newtown, Tioga County at that time), New York. The property began at the 79th mile marker on the Pennsylvania and New York state line, west of Seeley Creek at the edge of the valley and thence north along said tract (said tract extended from the state line and encompassed the Seeley Creek Valley north towards the Chemung River Valley and inclued 1,178 acres), thence east crossing Seeley Creek to the eastern line of said tract and then south to the Pennsylvania and New York state line (eastern edge of valley) and thence along the state line to the place of beginning. First wife Hannah b. before 1765 was evidently living in the 1800 and 1810 census enumerations, but she was not enumerated with the family in 1820. Second wife Martha Jones b. 30 June 1781 widow of John Wade and daughter of Elijah Jones and Hannah Raymond. John Kelly appears on the 1824 assessment list of Wells where son Ezra had removed to a few years earlier. On the 1825 assessment list the property had been transfered to Jesse Kelly. Enumerated 1825 census of Southport with two males (including John) and four females in the household.
Will of John Kelly dated 19 Feb 1824 Southport; wife, Martha to have 1/3 of real estate and household furniture, also the other 2/3 of 70 acres purchased of Samuel Criss whereon Rev. John Smith dec’d formerly lived in Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Farm of 62 acres on Seeley Creek where I live was sold to son Ezra. Children of first wife, Hannah; son David, “I have already all that I ever intend to give him” who I gave a mechanical trade and his circumstances is that he needs no assistance from me; son, Ezra, “I have gave him all that I intend;” sons, Jesse and George, “I have already given them all that I ever intend;” daughters, Anna, Julia, Lanor, Fanny, and Eliza I give them all that may remain due to me by my son Ezra. Son, James owes $80 for yoke of oxen and he shall pay to my five daughters, unless he pays within one year which will exonerate him. Witnessed by A. Gates White, Harvey Jones, William T. Knapp. Proved 19 Nov 1825 (Tioga County, New York Estate, C:148-9).
Article of agreement dated 17 Jan 1826 between Samuel Criss of Wells, County of Bradford, State of Pennsylvania; Stephen Curren of same; William Strock of Jackson, County of Tioga, State of Pennsylvania; Nathan Miller of same; Stephen Gardner of same, and Ezra Kelly of Southport, County of Tioga, State of New York. Where as a mortgage was executed by Ezra Kelly payable to John Kelly and Martha his wife dated 27 Dec 1823 securing payment which accrues to Samuel Criss, Stephen Curren, William Strock, Nathan Miller, and Stephen Gardner as heirs of the said John Kelly, dec’d, they agree to give up and release said payments to Ezra Kelly. Witnessed by Sam’l Baker, Jesse Kelly, and George Miller. Signed Samuel Criss, mark of Stephen Curren, William Strock, Nathan Miller, mark of Stephen Gardner (Tioga County, New York Estate, Box 10).
In 1827 Martha was assessed for property in Wells received from Jesse Kelly and on the 1830 assessment list the property was transfered to Samuel Criss. Martha was enumerated in Southport in 1830 with three daughters in her household. Martha m. (3)Rickliff Albertson b. c. 1782 and they resided in Southport. Martha enumerated in the Town of Southport, Chemung County, New York in 1860 in household of daughter Sarah McWhorter and she d. Jan 1865.
John and Hannah Kelly are buried upon the farm where they resided. Some of the very oldest residents remembered two leaning markers on the the west side of Route 328 in the early 1930’s. The road has been widened twice and it is believed the burials are under the west side of the highway or the shoulder of the road. The whereabouts of the markers is unknown. The State Line Hotel that still stands is on the west side of the road, then a house beside the hotel and north of the hotel and then about 100 feet north of the house would be the location of where John and Hannah and perhaps some other family members were buried. Unless a bible record or some other family record surfaces we may never know the exact dates of their deaths and ages.

Peabody Keyes b. 1 Nov 1763 Shrewsbury, Massachusetts son of Cyprian Keyes and Martha Bush m. 12 Jan 1789 at Princeton, Massachusetts, Persis Brooks b. 4 Jan 1762 Marlborough, Massachusetts daughter of Charles Brooks and Mary Hapgood. Peabody and Persis are related to have removed to Wells Township in the spring of 1808 from Princeton, Massachusetts with their family. This date may be accurate as Peabody does not appear on the 1808 assessment list (compiled 1807) of Tioga Township (included present Wells at that date). Peabody was involved in lumbering. Enumerated in 1810 with one male under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1785-94), three females under age ten (b. 1801-10), one female of age ten and under age sixteen and under age sixteen (b. 1795-1800), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). Peabody was not the first death of an adult as recorded in The History of Bradford County by Bradsby, but it was his son, William Keyes who died in 1813. Documentation is lacking that William was the first death of an adult in the township. Elizabeth Wright wife of Shubel Rowley is related to have d. 7 Apr 1813. The Keyes family is related to have returned to New England which must have been before the 1813 assessment list of Wells as Peabody does not appear.
