Thanks! My belief is that Alexander Hamilton Kelley is Armer’s father who is listed on the 1790 federal census in Burke County NC. Alexander arrived in Philadelphia in 1782 as a Carpenter’s Apprentice and was listed as a Run Away in the Philadelphia Gazette in 1785 and didn’t reappear until the 1790 federal census in Burke County. I did find on a land survey request in 1837 that was requested by Armer that his land was adjacent to Alexander’s. From my research, family members always stayed close, so my belief is that Armer and Alexander are related and I’m trying to understand that relationship, hoping that Alexander is his father. In the 1840 federal census, it shows that Armer lived in Union County GA, which means that he moved his entire family from Burke County to Union County, which is a monumental move at that time. It was in one of the later census’s that Armer listed his father was from Ireland and mother from Virginia. Any additional help/insight into Armer and Alexander would be Greatly Appreciated! Thanks, Kurt Kelley
