The labeling in the photo below has a typo, it's 1869 NOT 2869! LOL! "1869" is what is on the tombstone and I was sure it was "1914" on the tombstone so that it would read "1869-1914". But according to all the Census records he was born in 1860 and I haven't found a death certificate yet for him which would indicate he died in 1911 before they started doing death certificates in 1913. I found the "1911" date from a book published in 1977 of Union County Cemetery surveys. The author could probably read the stone better back then so that, along with the missing death certificate, give me to believe that he died in 1911.


Leila Kelly 's tombstone just has her date of death so I still don't know her date of birth at this time.

Pg 170, Death Notices from Union Times, 10/12/1906, James G.Kelly, DOD 10/5/1906 and is buried in the Kelly Family Cemetery, Kelton (aka Kelly Town or Kelly), off Eisontown Rd, Union County, SC.
"James G. Kelly died last Friday (Oct 5) & his remains were buried Saturday at the old Kelly graveyard near his house. Mr.Kelly was a member of the 18th SC Cavalry during the Civil War."

C. Elizabeth Free Kelly died 1/5/1900 and is also buried in the Kelly Family Cemetery.

We had a hard time finding the Kelly Family Cemetery until Richard Kelly contacted me and gave me directions. Thank you, Richard! Take Hwy 9 to Kelly Town (I think it's also known as Kelton or Kelly community) where the Kelly One Stop convenience store is. Pass the convenience store and turn left on Pea Ridge Rd. Pass Foster's Chapel church and then turn left on Eisontown Rd. Look for Hart Rd on the left. Just past Hart Rd look for an old dirt road on the left. It has a gate. You follow the dirt road and keep looking into the woods on the left to find the cemetery. I'm sure this is private property since there is a gate. It's pretty overgrown back there too so I don't recommend going. I took good photos and I hope you will be satisfied with these. But I also don't want the cemetery lost forever which is why I give the directions. The GPS coordinates to the dirt road are 34 50.447' and -81 35.788. There are 6 head stones and most of those are barely legible. I used chalk to highlight them and you can see the before and after photos. There are a good many rocks marking graves and I suppose we will never know who they represent, whether family or slaves.
