Janet went to USA with Aunt Jennet Gregg[P1569] to Scotch Valley in 1875. Janet married [P1595]John Kelly(first cousin) in Kansas USA. We believe Janet's brother JOHN visited her in USA twice.

Jeff Higgins - June 2004:
Child 5.Janet Gregg, born 08 Aug 1855 at Dalreoch, Colmonell and according to the birth entry she was the 5th child, 2 boys and 3 girls living. Janet lived with her parents until she emigrated.
At Ellis Island website and found the following...
John Greig, 56, arrived in New York aboard the "Caledonia" on 07 Jul 1907, he was on his way to see his sister Mrs Janet Kelly in Seneca. He was a shepherd and lived in Pinwherry, Ayrshire.
John Greig, 62, arrived in New York again aboard the Caledonia (superstitious perhaps) on 14 Apr 1913, he was on his way to see his sister Mrs Janet Kelly in Seneca. He was a shepherd and he gave his brother Ivan Gregg, in Ballantrae, as a contact.
These seem to be the only TWO occasions that John visited

The twin Marian had black hair. She married JOHN Graham, and lived in the vicinity of Atchison Kansas. Gregg's estate settlement lists many names of the Graham family. Marian was a Seven Day Adventist, and when she came to visit her twin brother, John, they argued religion far into the night. Marian died August 4, 1904.

The Scotch Valley history syas, "With five sons in the family, land was high priced in Kansas, more land could be bought in Canada at cheaper prices."   So the family emigrated to Alberta (then still the Northwest Territories), Canada in 1903. This was the same year that brother James Fisher and some members of the Kelly family emigrated to Alberta. In 1911 Agnes Kelly Fisher was living in Ray, Alberta (which I've been told is near Edmonton but I can't find for the life of me. I also have to say that this branch of the family has disappeared off the face of the earth but then the Fisher men NEVER talked about family.)

James KELLY

Born 10 Jun 1859, Sorn Ayrs Sc. IGI-M116131
Died 9 Mar 1939, Alberta Canada
Went to USA with mother and family aged 10.
-
Joan Fisher June 2004: In 1911 James Kelly lived in Ray, Alberta, Canada. He was a namesake of James Gregg and so got a special bequest in JG's will.

From Gloria Cathcart Canada -June 2004:
I am a great granddaughter to James Kelly born June 10, 1859, and died March
9, 1939. As a 10 year old he emigrated to Kansas and is listed in the Scotch
Valley write-up. Then in 1901 he came to Alberta, Canada, bringing his
family of 10 (little Agnes was buried in Scotch Valley) in 1902.. Another
baby, Nellie, was born in Alberta. (Nellie was midwife at my birth.)

James and his family farmed, but he was not a farmer at heart, was known for
his work as a minister and was known as Preacher Kelly. In 1913 he received
special ordination and then was officially the Reverend James Kelly, but
still fondly called preacher Kelly. He served for 32 years prior to retiring
in 1934 at the age of 74. He died 3 months prior to his 80th birthday.

My birth occurred 3 weeks prior to his death. My parents attended his
funeral and I have visited his gravesite a number of times. One of the many
churches in which he preached, one that he started, is where I first
attended church. It still stands today.

I have vague recollections of great grandma Ellen and some of the older
children, and certainly remember a number of the others much more clearly.
My grandmother was Alice, the firstborn of the twins.

I have been trying since last summer to make a listing of the descendents of
Rev. James Kelly, 10 of the 12 having issue. I certainly have enjoyed
meeting many of the second and third cousins. I have much work yet to do.

For some time now I have been corresponding with Shannon E Kelly, since his
great grandfather John Kelly was the older brother to my great grandfather
James Kelly. Sister Agnes Kelly married David Fisher (of the Fishers Three
in Scotch Valley), and they too came to this same part of Alberta, Canada.

I have been keenly interested in your website and will continue to follow it
and search for some answers.
Sincerely, Gloria Cathcart

Helen or Ellen BAIRD

Alias KELLY
Born 13 Nov 1864
Died 14 Apr 1947
Parents John Baird (1821-1872) and Agnes Hays (21 Aug 1833-10 Aug 1886).

Mary KELLY {M} [P1846]

Born 1864, Probably Sorn Ayrshire Sc
SOURCE: 1880 Census Nemaha
Mary Kelly was shown as aged 16 on the 1880 Census at Nemaha USA hence the earlier Mary Kelly born 1844 to Alexander Kelly and Agnes Gregg at Wigtown Scotland must have deceased before 1864.

Mary Kelly Milton and her husband William E. Watters could be reached in 1911 at Box 145, Strathcona, Alberta. This is according to John Kelly's affidavit.
