Living in Roane County, TN in 1830

John Kelley Jr & Eleanor Harrison were married March 11, 1799 in Greene Co., TN and they had at least 8 children. No census records exist for Tennessee before 1830, but John Kelly Jr. is listed on 1812 tax records in Greene Co., TN along with his father John Kelly Sr. John Kelley Jr. died in 1822 in Greene Co., TN. Isaiah Harrison (Eleanor's father) probated his will, and there is a document dated July 22, 1822 that refers to Isaiah Harrison as administrator for the estate of John Kelly, deceased. Eleanor is listed as head of household on the 1830 &1840 censuses of Greene Co., TN. Eleanor is listed at age 66 living with married daughter Cynthia (Mrs. Frederick) Dewitt on the 1850 census of Greene Co,. TN. She is listed as age 73 and living with married daughter Eliza Ann (Mrs. Wyley) Kelley on the 1860 census of Division 9, Greene Co., TN. She is living with Frederick & Cynthia Dewitt at age 87 on the 1870 census of 22nd District, Greene Co., TN. Eleanor Harrison Kelley died November 12, 1871, probably in Greene Co., Tennessee. There are varying spellings of Eleanor's name including Elinor, Eloner, Ellender & Allinden, and I have found at least one source that indicates that John's name also may have been Sean. Thanks to Neil Long of Wichita, KS for the 1822 probate document for John.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Hello cousins. I would like to start a discussion on the middle name of this John Kelley, my 5th gr-grandfather. Where did the name Patrick come from? I have seen no evidence that he even had a middle name. Comments are welcome.

Hi Audrey, good question. I have not yet looked into John, Jr. I had always assumed that John Senior was called Patrick because of John Junior with the junior/senior connection. So it is on my list to investigate John Junior at some point to see where he got the middle name Patrick. Now I am thinking that perhaps those that thought Patrick Hendrix Kelly was the grandfather Patrick somehow got passed down. I’m also seeing conflation with three or four other John Kelly’s some, who also carry the middle name Patrick, but I have not yet been able to find where those come from either. I am comfortable with putting down a note that the middle name Patrick is unsupported and remove it.
