I am looking for any info on Ezra and Eliza Kelley's family. They had ten children and were from Dutchess County, New York. One of their kids was Joseph M. Kelley, I believe he is the same Joseph that is my Great Great Grandfather. He is buried in Idaho City, Idaho. I have been researching him for over 20 years, all of the records burned up in the 4 big fires over the years in Idaho City. I was able to find in a biography about his two sons in eastern Oregon, that said Joseph was a native of Farmington Iowa and spent a few years in California before coming to Idaho City. I believe that he left Iowa with his two brothers Ebenezer and Horton for California. If anyone has, or knows who has Eliza Kelley's bible, I would gladly pay for copies. Any letters, stories, or pictures also. I am pretty sure this is the same Joseph, as a lot of people have him listed as Joseph Melville Kelley. Melville happens to be my Great Grandfather, one of Joseph's sons. Melville was 3 years old when his dad died in Idaho City. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
