Third Generation


35. (James) Solomon O'Kelley was born on 9 September 1785 in Warren, North Carolina, USA. He appeared in the census in 1820 in Pendleton, Anderson, SC.55 He died on 5 June 1856 at the age of 70 in Oconee, South Carolina, USA. 

Solomon's son Hugh Lee O'Kelley named a son James Solomon O'Kelley but the name James does not appear in any maternal or paternal lines of Hugh Lee's family causing me to wonder if James Solomon O'Kelley may have been named after Hugh Lee's father and that Solomon O'Kelley was actually James Solomon O'Kelley, the James coming from the name of Benjamin's father.
