Comments:My maternal great grandmother was a Kelso. I have searched everywhere to find her parents but have not been able to. Her name was Isabelle Kelso and she was born on Feb. 6, 1875 in Philadelphia, PA. She married Albert Tomlingson Williams. They had 4 daughters. The oldest born in Philadelphia and the others in New York City. Isabelle died in NYC in 1904 some time after March because my grandmother was born in March of 1904.

Name: Mason Kelsey
E-mail address: mkelsey@earthlink.net
Comments:As you probably know some Kelso families changed their name to the English spelling of the name, Kelsey, when they came to the colonies. My ancestor, Samuel Kelso/Kelsey, settled in Fishing Creek, Chester County, SC, in 1787, after a time in Northern Ireland. The family was originally from Largs, Scotland, as your history correctly indicates.

A cousin of mine, Dr. Mavis P. Kelsey, Sr., published a 600 page book on our genealogy including and in depth history of the family in Scotland. I currently hold the copyright to the book and maintain the family history for this line and related lines.

I'll write more when I have time.

As you can see, the name is spelled different. I have found relatives with the spellings of Kelso, Kelsoe, Kelsey and Kelson, all for the same person or immediate family members. Can you help me beyond this road block? My immediate line goes from me, John Gregory to Nello, to Louie A., to John Hayden, to Francis Marion, to William. I look forward to hearing from you on this!

Comments:Kelso from Isle of Arran

Hi everyone! I'm trying to track down anyone with further info on the Kelso family from Corrie, Arran. I can get back to John Kelso, b. 25 Feb 1870 at Corrie, Isle of Arran, m. Annie Rowen Shaw from Barrhill, Ayrshire,; then migrated to Australia in later life. There seem to be a few Kelso families from Arran on the web, but I can't work out exactly where my John b. 1870 fits in. He supposedly had a father Robert, and siblings Willie/William, Annie and Hugh.

Any leads gratefully received!

Cheers

Comments:I am the last of my Kelso line. However I named my son Kelso. I can trace my ancestry back to John Kelso and Mary Polly Kelso in Kelso, Roxburgh, Scotland. They had four sons--Alexander, Joseph, Hugh and Thomas--before they immigrated to Virginia in the mid-1700's. My branch of the Kelso family moved from Virginia to Tennessee and finally to Texas in the mid-1800's. I have been doing genealogy for a couple of years and find it fascinating.
