Hi, Kay. My name is Don Kelley, and I am Anna Kellie Hardcastle Bassett Smith's nephew. I grew up in Douglas, AZ, next door to Aunt Kellie's daughter, Fern Smith Teeter. My maternal grandmother was Amy Adele Hardcastle Miller who lived about 2 blocks from where I grew up. I knew Aunt Kellie and Uncle Willy growing up. My mom was Dixie Josephine Miller Kelley.
I am so excited to see your posts! I have been doing family history for about 25 years. I would love to compare/share family information with you. I obtained much of my information from Aunt Kellie and her daughter, Fern. Fern's daughter, Anna Jane Teeter Forsman, lives in Glendale, AZ. She has kindly extracted information from her mom's and grandmother's records (which are rather extensive) and kindly shared them with me.
I now live in the Texas Hill Country (Boerne), and have for 20 years. I have visited the Howard/Hardcastle Cemetery and looked around the Black Creek area. My personal email is capridon AT gvtc.com, if it is more convenient for you.
