KELLY

Archibald KELLY (abt 1761-Apr 1839) was born in Ireland. His father may have been James KELLY. His mother may have been an ARCHBOLD. He also may have had three brothers, Thomas, John, and Samuel, and a sister. These siblings are not yet documented.

No marriage record has been located, but published Butler Co., PA, histories identify Archibald's wife as Margaret DUNSETH (?-1810/1839). The family appears in Unity Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA in the 1790 census. They then moved to Butler Co., eventually settling in the Parker Twp. area. Many members of this family are buried in the Kelly Cemetery there.
