Some Descendants of Jehiel Hull Kelley and Elizabeth Lambert
I just finished doing my son-in-law's tree (By "finished" I mean "going as far back as I could, then forward for all descendants until I decided finding BMD dates and places for a 4C2R wasn't really worth the effort") and thought I'd share some of my findings. Amplifications and corrections warmly welcomed.
Note 1, my genealogy program's report writer has a bug, so the source citations don't format properly. "John Smith1-8" should be "John Smith (1-8)" or "John Smith 1-8" with the "1-8" in superscript.
Note 2, I marked everyone born after 1913 "Living" even though some are not.
Note 3, the prose style is VERY mechanical.

First Generation
1.Jehiel Hull Kelley1-9 was born on 2 Apr 1829 in Ohio.He appeared in the census in 1850 in White River Twp, Randolph, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1860 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1870 in Center Twp, Delaware, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1880 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He died on 4 Jan 1899.He was also known as Jahiel, Jehial, Johial, Johiel.He was buried in Tuscola, Douglas, Illinois - Cartwright Cem.
Dennis' marriage record says his father is "J H Kelley". Jehiel and Elizabeth have a child indexed as "Jennis" but whose name is really "Dennis", age 3/12, on the 1850 census taken 28 Aug 1850. He is with them, age 10, in the 1860. It would have been nice if Dennis had spelled out "Jehiel" on his marriage record, but Jehiel may have been going by "J H" for 10 years at that point.
Here's their marriage record:
Groom: Jehiel H Kelly
Bride: Elizabeth Lambert
License: 26 Feb 1848, Randolph Co.
Marriage: 26 Feb 1848, Randolph, Indiana

2 i. Mary M Kelley6,7 was born in 1848 in Randolph County, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1850 in White River Twp, Randolph, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1860 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.
Her parents were married in Randolph County, and were there in 1850. I'm assuming she was born there.
I can't find any records - census, birth or marriage - after 1860.

Second Generation
3.Dennis L Kelley1,6,11-15 (Jehiel Hull-1) was born in Apr 1850 in Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1850 in White River Twp, Randolph, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1860 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1870 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1880 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He appeared in the census in 1900 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.He was also known as Kelly.He has Ancestral File Number CM9P-KF.
Dennis is indexed as "Jennis" in 1850, 3/12 years old (Census taken Aug 1850), but he is "Dennis" in the image. See his grandmother, Mary Jones, for the complete census entry.
In 1870 Dennis is in Muncie with the Meeker family in the census taken 8 July 1870:
HH 388
Meeker, Henry, 43, Ohio
Meeker, Ann, 38, Wnrttemberg / Wurttemberg
Meeker, Willis B, 14, Ind
Meeker, Laura J, 12, Ind
Meeker, George A, 10, Ind
Meeker, Julia A, 7, Ind
Thayer, Thomas, 23, Ohio
Kelly, Dennis, 20, Ohio, brick moulder
Glendora, whose name is already Kelley, is 7 houses away, in HH 395, living with her mother, Sarah Trimble (McKenzie, Lennon).
They had just married:
Groom: Dennis L Kelly
Groom's Father: J H Kelly
Bride: Glendora Mckensey
Date of License: 27 Jun 1870
County of License: Delaware
Date of Marriage: 27 Jul 1870
Place of Marriage: Delaware, Indiana

Kelley, Carl, 2, son, Ind, Ind, Ind
These two entries (separated by some other Kelley entries) in the 1897 Muncie, Indiana, City Directory, stongly hint, but do not prove that Bertha was the daughter of Dennis and Glendora. "h" is the abbreviation for "home".
Kelley, Berthfitter, Tappan Shoe Mnfg Co, h 1133 e Washington
Kelley, Dennis (Glandora), engineer, J A Meeks h 1133 e Washington
Bertha's parents are Dennis and Glendora on the LDS Ancestral File and PRF; that isn't proof either. More research needed. Bertha isn't listed with them in the 1880.
See William Lowe, husband of daughter Bessie Kelley, for the 1900 census entry.
There is a Dennis Kelly, widowed, age 60, b. Indiana in Cogswell Creek, Lake, Oregon on the 1910 census. He is boarding with George and Myrtle Down. He could be our Dennis. He is the only Dennis Kelly/Kelley born 1848 - 1852 in Indiana on the 1910, but that is just a hint, not proof.
Dennis and Glendora are in the Muncie City directories in:
1897: 1133 E. Washington, Engineer
1901: Burlington Heights
1903: wks J A Meeks, h. Burlington Pike, "6 e. Belt Ry" [6 houses, blocks or miles east of the Belt Line Railway tracks].
In 1905 he's a night watchman for J A Meeks and living at 113 N. Ohio; Glendora isn't listed.
In 1907 he and son Carl are both at 120 N. Ohio, both working at "Meeks Handle Works".
I lose him after that; no death record, no obituary.
Dennis L Kelley and Zinelda Glendora McKenzie were married on 27 Jul 1870 in Delaware County, Indiana.Zinelda Glendora McKenzie1,11-13,15-17 (daughter of John P McKenzie and Sarah Trimble) was born in Jul 1851 in Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1860 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1870 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1880 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1900 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana.She died in Jan 1905 in Muncie, Delaware, Indiana (prob).She was also known as McKensey, McKinzie.She has Ancestral File Number CM9P-LL.
Glendora's surname is McKensey on one marriage record. She is "Glendora M Kensey" on another.
She is Zimelda Glendora on the older LDS databases.
She is "Glondora Kelly" and living with her mother in 1870, but John isn't there.
The LDS PRF has two children who, if they really were born to Dennis and Glendora, died young:
Jeheal Kelly
Birth: 12 Aug 1889 Muncie, Delaware, Indiana
Infant Kelly
Birth: 6 Feb 1894 Muncie, Delaware, Indiana
The Muncie Public Library database of funeral home records has a bill for from the Meeks Funeral Home for Glendora Kelley, charged to Dennis L Kelley, for $70.00 for embalming, Burial permit $450, lining grave $100, 4 carriages, 1 Pall coach (fee blank).

"Hartman" is a mistake; whether of the informant or the transcriber I can't tell. "Mary" is wrong too; she was Emma Matilda. She alternates between "Emma" and some form of "Tillie" all her life.

I haven't found a death record, but William isn't with the family in 1910, when he would have been 11 - too young to have left home - and the family had a lot of children die young. I'm assuming he didn't make it.

The good people at Meeks pasted a copy of her obituary into their records; Someone has written what might be "Elm Ridge Mlsm" below. George's obit says he is going to be in the mausoleum at Elm Ridge Cemetery.

George bought a biography in the 1924 History of Delaware County. It says, in part,
George E. Dungan, Secretary of the Muncie Savings and Loan Company and former Recorder of Delaware County, is a native of this county, a member of a pioneer family, and has lived here all his life. Mr. Dungan was born in Muncie on July 5, 1850, and is a son of John W. and Edith (Dragoo) Dungan.
It was on October 18, 1848, in Muncie, that John W. Dungan was united in marriage to Edith Dragoo. To that union were born nine children, five of whom are still living, the subject of this sketch having two sisters, Caroline, who married William Weeks, and Jessie F., who married George Carmichael, and two brothers, Leonidas and Harry F. Dungan.
Reared at Muncie, George E. Dungan received his schooling in the schools of that city and then went to Hartford City, where he served an apprenticeship to the harness-making trade, afterward returning to Muncie and here becoming engaged in the harness business. Four years later he became employed as a clerk in the Thomas H. Kirby grocery store and for six years thereafter was engaged in the grocery business on his own account.
In the meantime he had been giving proper attention to local political affairs and in 1898 was elected County Recorder. By re-election he served for eight years in that office and later, for three years, as President of the City Board of Works.
In the meantime, almost twenty years ago, Mr. Dungan had become a member of the Directorate of the Muncie Savings and Loan Company and in 1918 he was elected Secretary of this institution, which position he since has occupied, with offices at the southwest corner of Adams and High streets. Mr. Dungan is a Republican, a York Rite Mason and a member of the local camp of the Sons of Veterans.
George E. Dungan married Ida Kelly, daughter of Johial Kelly, of Muncie, and to this union five children have been born, namely: LaRue, who married Fred Jewett and has three children, Martha, George and Sarah; Arthur H., who married Pearl Davenport and has one child, LaRue; Earnest, who married and has three children, Elizabeth, John Ernest and Sarah Olive; Eva, who married J. C. Mansfield; and Ralph, who married Irene Sweet and has one child, a son, Ralph Jr.

Someone goofed. I'm going to use the Illinois Death certificate place and date, but more research needed.

From poking around in Google, I suspect "Jenet" is more commonly spelled "Jeanette". If so, it is in Westmoreland County. The PRF is wrong there:

William was 49 at first marriage, Mena 34. (About half of the 1930 census entries I see for people with multiple marriages have age at THIS marriage, not age at first marriage.)
Is this our William?
Arguments for:
The middle initial, birth year and all three birthplaces match.
The wife's name is close to Mel's 2003 post.
Daughter's name is spot on to Mel's 2003 post.
Arguments against:
Lowe is a very common name.
He isn't working with glass.
I think it is him, but more research needed.Bessie M Kelley and William A Lowe had the following children:

Earl registered for the draft in 1917. He was single but had a child who was dependent on him. Tall, slender, grey eyes, brown hair.
I can't find him in 1920, 1930 or 1940.

He was born Dec 1896 on the 1900 census, 20 Feb 1896 on the Delaware County birth page and on his 1917 WW I draft record.
In 1917 he is a "Puller" or a "Buffer" at what might be the Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate Company in Clarksburg. HE has a wife and a five-month old child. Tall, slender, grey eyes, brown hair. He has served for what might be 2 years and 5 months or 2 months and 5 days as a private in the Hospital Corps.
Carl registered for the draft again in 1942. He was living at 6703 Fait Ave in Baltimore. His brother was living with him; under "Person who will alway sknow your address" he has Earl Lowe, 6703 Fait Ave.
Carl is working for the Curtis Bay Ordnance Depot.
41 iii. (Unknown) Lowe80 was born on 21 Mar 1898 in Delaware County, Indiana.He died before 1900 in Delaware County, Indiana (prob).
He is on the Delaware County births, but not in the 1900 census. A short white coffin and an ache in his parents' heart.

In 1900 (See Charles for complete entry) They are living in Center Twp, Delaware. They have been married for 11 years.
The 1900 censu sentry is almost certainly the couple who married in 1889, but is she our Elizabeth?
Arguments for:
1) She is the right age as our Elizabeth in 1880;
2) She spells her name "Kelley", which our Kelleys do, on her marriage record;
3) They named their son "Dennis", Elizabeth's father's name;
4) Most of the PRF entries are correct;
5) They are still in Delaware County in 1900;
6) Elizabeth's BP and both of her parents' BPs are Indiana, which matches our Kelley family.
Arguments against:
1) Elizabeth is a very common name;
2) Kelly/Kelley is a very common name;
3) Most of the people in Indiana have "Ind, Ind, Ind" for birthplaces; their ancestors came, liked what they saw and settled in.
I'm going to enter Charles, but more research needed.

The birthdate is consistent with the 1880 census. I can't find her in 1920, nor can I find a death record.
Her daughters, Bertha and Glendora, were in Grand Junction in 1926, and Bertha probably died in Mesa County 1926 - 1928.

Rufus died 4 Oct 1924 in Gypsum, Eagle, Colorado, according to the PRF. Boy Scout Prather Silverthorn transcribed the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Gypsum, where I found:

J Arthur was 22 at first marriage, V Wreath was 18. There are three women named "Wreath" in Wayne County in 1920, none of them our Velma. She evidently wanted a change.
I have no proof that this is our Arthur; I can't find a record or obituary that mentions his parents. Arguments for:
The name almost matches; "J Arthur" instead of Arthur
The age matches.
All three birth places match.
He's in Big Mound township, while the rest of the family is over in Piatt County.
Arguments against:
He (or the enumerator) spells it Kelly, not Kelley.
Kelly is extremely common.
This is the same family from 1930 in 1940, Big Mound Twp, Wayne, Illinois:

Parents: Lauber, Maria; Belleville Ward 3, St Clair, Illinois
If you take those four and two more from her children's marriage records, you get six possibilities for her maiden name:
Ratisheimer (Son John's marriage record)
Roederheimer (1900 census)
Roedersheimer (1900 census)
Roedershemier (1900 census)
Roedesheimer (1900 census)
Roedesheimer (Daughter Elizabeth's marriage record)
Plus:
Roedashiemer (Son John's birth record)
Roldershiemer (Daughter Willa Mae's marriage record)
I'm using Roedersheimer, but I'd bet that if you found a dozen records, you'd find 8 - 12 spellings.

TWO MEN DIE FROM SEWER GAS IN PUMP PIT AT ST. MARYS
ST. MARYS - Vernon V. Howe, 43, married, and Curtis Boroff, 35, married, lost their lives Tuesday in the pump pit at the sanitary sewer. Charles L. Selby, service director, had a narrow escape.
While adjusting a valve in the pump pit, a plank on which Howe was standing tipped and he was precipitated into ten feet of sewage 20 feet below, where he was quickly overcome by sewer gas. Boroff went to his assistance and was also overcome by the gas and died.
In an endeavor to bring the men to the surface, Selby was overcome and was barely able to drag himself out of the pump station. The bodies of the men were removed from the pit an hour later by the fire departnent, and the use of a pulmotor resorted to, without success.
Howe is survived by his wife and two children; Howe by a wife and three children. [That second "Howe" should be "Boroff".]
[A "Pulmotor" was an early resuscitator, a device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing. It didn't work very well.]
Charlotte Olive Kelley and Virgil Vernon Howe had the following children:
+87 i. Ruth Esther Howe, born on 22 Dec 1911, Auglaize County, Ohio (prob); married Norman Robert Sampson, in Sep 1933, Ohio (prob); died on 21 Jun 1979, Saint Marys, Auglaize, Ohio.

We know from her death record that our Charlotte's spouse's surname was Graves when she died. That led to the Find-a-Grave entry for Dallas Franklin Graves. His obituary there said he married the former Charlotte Claus in 1945. That led to this census entry, in which her name, birthplace and birth year all fit. She is still in Auglaize County, too.

Birth: 1895, Pennsylvania
Residence: Auglaize Co., Ohio
Death Date: 30 Oct 1982
Hospital of Death: Joint Township St Marys
Marital Status: Widowed
Arguments for:
"V" is her middile initial in 1930.
Age matches the census.
Birth state matches the census.
LeRoy died before she did, so "widowed" fits.
Town and county fit.
Arguments against:
Kelly/Kelley is a VERY common name.

It's 1930; times are tough. I can't tell if Clinton and Margaret moved in with the his parents because they had to, or if Ulysses asked them to come help work the farm for him.

Allan D White compiled newspaper articles for the North Manchester (Indiana) area. One of them was Harry's obituary, which "OPPSheryl" added to his Find-a-Grave entry:
Herry E. Dawes,88, Peabody Home, died Saturday, Nov 29 at Peabody Memorial Home. He had been a resident at the home for two and one half years, formerly residing in both Wabash and North Manchester.
[The Estelle Peabody Memorial Home is a 26-acre campus in North Manchester.]
He was born Feb 10, 1892 in Wabash County to Henry E. and Anna Laura (Bent) Dawes. On July 7, 1934 he married S. LaRhue Oyler, who survives.
Mr. Dawes was a member of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church, Wabash, and was a retired farmer.
One brother, Harold Dawes, LaFontain, survives. Two sisters preceded in death.

He was either saddled with "Lorraine" at birth, and used "Lorin" the rest of his life, or misrecorded on the 1900.
Lorin registered for the draft in 1917, which gave us one birthdate - 15 Nov, 1896 - birth place - North Manchester - and his middle name, William. Medium height, slender, brown eyes, dark brown hair. He is born Nov 1894 on the 1900 census. He used 15 Nov 1894 whe he registered for the draft in 1942, and it is 1894 on his SSDI entry.
He served in the army from 25 Feb 1918 to 12 Dec 1918.

Lorin William Oyler and Roberta Hardman were married on 7 Jan 1922 in Orange County, Indiana.Roberta Hardman52,53 was born on 7 Dec 1889 in Orange County, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1930 in Orleans Twp, Orange, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1940 in Orleans Twp, Orange, Indiana.
Roberta's father is Alexander Campbell Hardman. He is in Orleans Twp from 1880 until at least 1920. I'm going to assume she was born in Orange County. She is on the LDS PRF as "Roberta Hardman Campbell". Someone missed his stroke. She is single and living with her parents in 1920. It is physically possible she married a Mr. Campbell just after the census, who died, divorced or deserted her, and she remarried quickly, but I think it is far more likely that someone got her father's middle name mixed up with her surname. Her name is Hardman on all three of her children's birth records.

The chance of Ejnar marrying another woman born in Indiana right after Bertha died, then losing her, is slim. So, either
1) The 1926 death date on Bertha's Find-a-Grave entry is off.
2) Donna's age here is off.
3) Donna is the product of a fling and her mother's birth state is off.
4) None of the above

107 ii. Living was born.
46.Glendora Darby85-87,262-270 (Louise Elizabeth (Lulu) Kelley-3, Dennis L-2, Jehiel Hull-1) was born on 12 Feb 1900 in Delaware County, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1900 in Center Twp, Delaware, Indiana.She appeared in the census in 1910 in Center Twp, Wilson, Kansas.She appeared in the census in 1915 in Fredonia, Wilson, Kansas.She appeared in the census in 1920 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California.She was living in 1926 in Grand Junction, Mesa, Colorado.She was living in 1928 in Grand Junction, Mesa, Colorado.She appeared in the census in 1930 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California.She appeared in the census in 1940 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California.She died on 28 May 1973 in Fresno County, California.She has Ancestral File Number 792Z-XV.
According to the LDS AF and PRF,Glendora married a man named Andrus; on the AF his given name is blank, on the PRF it is "C W", which was her second husband. His name was Lavere, and he died young. There is enough other evidence to make the chain:
California Birth Index, 1918, child Glendora L Andrus born in San Joaquin County, mother's maiden name Darby.
1920 census, Lavere, Glendora and Louise G living in Stockton, San Joaquin; they probably call her "Louise" to distinguish her from her mother.
1926 and 1928, Glendora, widow of Lavere, is in Grand Junction, Colorado:
1926: Andrus, Glendora (wid Lavere) 811 Ouray Ave
1928: Andrus, Glendora (wid Lavere) 811 Ouray Ave
Glendora's sister Bertha and brother-in-law Ejnar Norgaard are at the same address in 1926. Ejnar is there without Bertha in 1928.
1930, "Glenadon" and "Glenalou" Adamson are in Stockton.

"Glendon" looks like "Glendora" to me in the image, but "Glennalou" looks like "Glennanlou". Glendora senior has "F" in her sex column, big as life, but got indexed as a man. Charles is elsewhere; I can't find him.
1940, Glendora L and "Gloria" are in Stockton with Charles W. Adamson; this time Gloria's surname is Andrus and she is Charles' stepdaughter.
After 1940 she moves to Fresno

Glendora Darby and Lavere Andrus were married between 1916 and 1919.Lavere Andrus256,264 was born in 1895/96 in New York state.He died between 1920 and 1926.He appeared in the census in 1920 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California.

If I was betting, I'd bet Lavere worked in Kansas at the same factory Glendora's father worked, and they went to California for a better job.
There they are in 1920. By 1926 Glendora is in Grand Junction, Colorado, living on 811 Ouray Ave and widowed. I can't find a death record for Lavere.
Glendora Darby and Lavere Andrus had the following children:
108 i. Living was born.
Glendora Darby and Charles Wesley Adamson were married between 1928 and 1930 in California (prob).Charles Wesley Adamson265,270-272 was born on 16 Dec 1886 in Windsor, Sonoma, California.He appeared in the census in 1930 in Tracy, San Joaquin, California.He appeared in the census in 1940 in Stockton, San Joaquin, California.He died on 2 May 1941 in Kern County, California.
Charles registered for the draft in Lodi, San Joaquin County in 1917, which gave us his birthplace (Windsor) and exact birth date, 16 Dec 1886. He was a locomotive engineer at the time; medium height, medium build, light brown eyes, dark brown hair.
In 1930 Glendora is in Stockton, San Joaquin County. She has changed her surname to Adamson and her marital status is married, but Charles is not in the household. He is in Tracy, 25 miles away, living by himself:
1930, Tracy, San Joaquin, California
Adamson, Chas W, head, 44, div., Calif, USA, USA, Loco Engineer, Railroad
Glendora's census page is dated April 8, Charles' April 9, so it isn't a timinig issue. Charles didn't talk to the enumerator himself, as is obvious from the "USA" for his parents' birth places.

Death record; it is possible he died while traveling, since he lived most of his life in San Joaquin County, and he worked for the railroad.

Ruth Marie Kelley and (Unknown) Monte were married between 1915 and 1917 in Kansas (prob).(Unknown) Monte96 was born between 1877 and 1897 in Kansas.
All we know of Mr. Monte is that Ruth Marie married him sometime after 1910 and divorced him sometime before 1920, since she is single in 1910 and divorced in 1920.
I gave him a birth year estimate of 0 - 20 years older than Ruth Marie. His birth state comes from Eugene's 1920 census entry.
I estimated their marriage as 1913, when Ruth was 16, to 1917, when Eugene was born.
One or both of my estimates could be wrong.Ruth Marie Kelley and (Unknown) Monte had the following children:
109 i. Living was born.

He is living at 210 East First Street, Middleton.
His father was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.

I haven't found a death record. Mother Bertha Kelley Stuckey's 1931 divorce article says "They were married in 1897 and had four children, two of whom are living." John Peterson, Margaret and Carl's son, is living with his grandmother in 1930. I have death dates for Margaret's sisters:
Helen G - 1937
Louise Ann - 2000
Sarah - 1928
Margaret fits as one of the two who are not living in 1931, and the fact John is with his grandmother hints his mother died and his father either could not or would not take on the duties of single parenthood.
Margaret Ann Stuckey and Carl Ernest Peterson were married on 2 May 1918 in Chautauqua County, New York.Carl Ernest Peterson105,289 was born in 1897/98 in Pennsylvania.He appeared in the census in 1920 in Warren, Warren, Pennsylvania.

Ruth Esther Howe and Norman Robert Sampson were married in Sep 1933 in Ohio (prob).Norman Robert Sampson196,305-308 was born on 15 Apr 1904 in Saint Marys Twp, Auglaize, Ohio.He appeared in the census in 1940 in Saint Marys, Auglaize, Ohio.He died on 27 Aug 1988 in Saint Marys, Auglaize, Ohio.He was also known as Samson.
We get to Norman via Ruth Howe > Stepfather Dallas Graves. His 1958 obituary had Ruth as "Mrs. Norman Samson of St. Mary's". That leads to

The Lima News of Sunday, September 24, 1933 has a list of marriage licenses issued, with
Norman R. Sampson. 29, St. Marys, and Ruth Esther Howe, 21, 1108 S. Union St. [Lima]. I'm assumng they were married shortly after.

118 i. Living was born.
119 ii. Living was born.

We get to Bernard via wife Grace, whose stepfather's 1958 obituary mentioned "Mrs. Beranard [sic] Rose of Delphos".

Both Bernard and Grace were in Montezuma, Mercer, Ohio in 1935, so I'm going to assume they were married then.
