Surname: Wilson, Kelly
-------------------------

I don't know how many children Adam Wilson had. I found out his name only
by reading the biography of Isaac Kelley on the Wheeling Area Genealogical
Society site, which mentioned John Kelly marrying Elizabeth Wilson. It
said she was the daughter of Adam Wilson, who was "one of the early settlers".
I know that that section of then-Virginia was all one county back in Isaac
Kelly's time, so suspect Adam Wilson may have been in a county other than
Ohio County at some point. I found Adam Willson in the 1820 census index
for Brooke County and wondered if this Wilson and my Adam Wilson were the
same. Would appreciated hearing what you have on Adam Wilson, to see if
something fits...
