  • Notes 
    • Robert and Hannah were married in Portage County, Ohio in 1842. According to the 1850 Census their first two children were born in Ohio. So, if you believe the account of Albert and Emily being born in Ohio, they moved their small family of 4 to Indiana between 1845 - 1848. John, the third child born, or at least the third as far as we know, was born in Indiana. They are found in Madison County, Indiana in July 1850.
      In the 1860 Census, Robert and his family are listed with the last name of Kelso. Although this is part of the soundex for Kelsay, it is not how their last name is spelled. With all the other research done, it is obvious this is Robert Kelsay and his family.
