    I have a long note that I copied from somewhere that gives sources for some of this. I think the rest of the connections were deduced from census data and online geneaologies. Because this is so well documented, you should be able to google and find a lot of information. Here is the note:
    Pennsylvania Vital Records, Volume II, Record of Marriages Performed by Rev. John Conrad Bucher, 1763-1769, Broderbund Software, Inc- 1757 April ye 8th - Laurenz Kelleyah to Martha Smith - performed by Rev. John Conrad Bucher.

    These Townships are near Milton & Lewisburg Pennsylvania. Union and Northumberland Counties today. Northumberland County was formed from Lancaster, Berks, Cumberland, Northhampton, & Bedford Counties in 1772. The towns of Kelly Point and Kelly Crossroads are in Union County Pennsylvania today (this is same area that was Northumberland County from 1772-1813) The same location where Laurence & Martha Kelly lived from 1775-1781. These Townships west of the Susquehanna River, White Deer & Buffaloe, became Union County in 1813. From 1785-1800 Lawrence & Martha Kelly lived on the east side of the Susquehanna River. Forced to because of Indian attacks. This time period was known as "The Great Runaway" (about 1780-1784). During the Revolutionary War Laurence Kelly was a private in Captain John Forster's Company. This was the 1st Company in the 1st Battalion known as the Northumberland Rangers. In command of the 1st Battalion was Colonel John Kelly. It is very possible that Laurence Kelly and Colonel John Kelly are in someway related. How is not known. Perhaps first cousins or maybe even brothers. Colonel John Kelly was born in 1744 on his father's farm (John Kelly Sr.) near Marietta, Donegal Township, Lancaster Co., PA. The towns of Kelly Point and Kelly Crossroads ae named after Colonel John Kelly who was a Revolutionary War Hero for Northumberland County Pennsylvania. Laurence Kelly and Colonel John Kelly both came to the same area of Northumberland County around the same dates. In 1800 Laurence & Martha Kelly along with their children with their families moved west to western Pennsylvania and then onto Ohio and Indiana. They were in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio from around 1802-1809. Staying there for only about 7 years. Then about 1810-1812 Laurence and Martha Kelly along with their sons and daughters (Hugh, John, Abraham, Martha, Elizabeth, William, & Davis) arrived in Blue lick, Monroe Township, Clark County, Indiana. Where Laurence & Martha Kelly are both buried. Martha (Smith) Kelly died September 22 and Laurence Kelly died two days later on September 24, 1823

    These deaths were recorded in the diary written by Daniel Guernsey Sr., Schoolmaster in Blue lick - The diary reads... In the year 1823 on September 21, Bronson Guernsey watches at the home of John Kelly. September 22, At 4 o'clock this morning old Mrs. Kelly died, aged 81 years. Old grandfather Kelly is supposed not to survive many days. Bronson watches. September 23, We all attend the funeral. Guy & Seymour Guernsey, Laz Kelly, Robert Campbellton, and William Patrick dig the grave in the woods near the home of John Dietz. I get home from the burying about five o'clock. September 24, Old Mr. Lawrence Kelly, age 83 years, dies about six thirty this morning. September 25, Attended the funeral of Mr Kelly. Mr. Little preached an excellent sermon. I got home from the burial about four o'clock.

    William is listed as a son of Lawrence in "History of the Ohio Falls Cities and Their Counties, Volume II", L.A. Williams & Co., Cleveland, 1882, page 362 - The most prominent family in the extreme west of Clark county was that of Lawrence Kelly, who came from Pennsylvania and was here as early as 1810. His sons were John, Hugh, Abram, William and Davis... Mountain Grove graveyard is one of the oldest burying grounds in the county. Lawrence Kelly and his wife, who died on the same day, were the first to be interred in it.
