Second Generation


10. Nancy O'Kelley was born about 1776 in Mecklenburg Co, British North America.

Nancy Kelley and Tapla Tucker were married on 9 December 1799 in Mecklenburg Co, Virginia, United States. Tapla Tucker was born in 1776, the son of Daniel Tucker and the grandson of John and Martha Tucker and the great grandson of Francis and Ann Tucker of Charles City Co Va. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Gwinnett, Georgia, United States. Appears with Benjamin and Delilah O'Kelley the children of Francis and Delilah O'Kelley.

Tapla and his family appears in the 1820, 1840, and 1850 Oglethorpe US Census.  It appears Nancy was deceased by 1850 but a daughter, Elizabeth Tucker age 35 is living with Tarpla

Tapla Tucker appears in the 1860 Gwinnett Co Ga US Census living in the home with Benjamin and Delilah the son and daughter of Francis and Delilah O'Kelley.  I can think of no reason for Tapla to be living with Benjamin and Delilah unless he is related by marriage.  He would be the uncle to Benjamin and Delilah so it seems certain that Elizabeth and Nancy Kelly are the daughters of William Kelley and Elizabeth Dean.

I think the naming of the children prove the name of our ancestor was James O'Kelley.
