the McKelleb Family History

The unique McKelleb name has not been found elsewhere on the planet. It mysteriously appears with the birth of William McKelleb in 1787, 1788, or 1789, of unknown parents, and continued with one male each generation to carry on the family name, until now. Today there are five McKelleb males under the age of 17 to propagate the McKelleb line - the name will survive! Known descendants currently live in Arizona, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and the UK.
Our first listing of the Harmon family begins in Ireland in 1767 with the birth of Robert Harmon, who married and settled in Fleming County, Kentucky, where the Harmon line continues to this day. Descendants are known to be living in Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, and Utah.
Our first listing of the Pursch family begins in Germany in 1827 with the birth of Carl August Pursch, who married and settled in Cass County, Indiana, where the Pursch line continues to this day. Descendants are known to be living in Texas, Arizona, and Indiana.
Our first listing of the Gaumer family begins in Pennsylvania in 1806 with the birth of William Gaumer, who married and settled in Ohio where it is assumed the line continues to this day. Descendants are known to be living in Indiana and Ohio.
Census records are a gold mine for genealogical research. However, the records from the 1700s until 1840 list by name only the head of household, with the number of household members. Assumed family relationships during that period are listed only after due diligence to support its listing.
Some family lines on the site may not be directly related to the families listed above (side lines from marriage, for example). If Cynthia has the information and it has been duly researched, it is here somewhere or is in the process of being uploaded.
This site is provided by the McKelleb Family Organization. Cynthia McKelleb Pursch is the research guru. Dave McKelleb (Scenic Color County) developed and supports the site.
