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:

I am confident of my wife's relationship to Rev. Benjamin R. Kelley. I am also fairly convinced that Benjamin's father was John and that John was married to Anne Margaret (Nannie) Rush. I have the text of a letter written by Jerrell Carter Kelley where he names his ancestor (grandfather???) Benjamin R. Kelley and names Benjamin’s father and mother as John Kelley and Anne Rush Kelley. However, I have seen claims of John's father being, Benjamin, Edmund, John and James. I have seen discussion of John’s name being John Kelley III. The link to Edmund who is the son of John II and has Edmund naming his son John III seems suspicious. If it is that family, it would seem more likely that John II would be the father of John III. At the moment I am not confident in linking back another generation.

Also, the Ann Margaret in this connection is shown as born in 1722, making her 14 years older than John Patrick which would be very unusual. There evidently was an Ann Margaret Rush who married a John Kelley, but something isn't matching up here! I have a Mary Anne Kelly who married Jonathan Taylor. Her parents are named in some trees as John Patrick Kelly-1736-1816 and Margaret Ann Rush-1735-1784. Perhaps this comment should be entered in research notes, but I don't want to interfere with your work.
