I know nothing of this couple after their marriage, but they could be almost anywhere.
Elizabeth Calkins, dau. of Joseph & Lucretia (Turner) Calkins married her 1st cousin
John Kelley, son of Joseph & Lydia (Calkins) Kelley, and John Kelley the father was a
Sea Captain. If Joseph Kelley the son also went to sea, even if only for a while, they
could have settled anywhere.
However, I would like to know where you found the birth date of Elizabeth Calkins. I have
the birth and/or baptismal dates of 8 of the 9 children of Joseph & Lucretia, between
1722-1742, but do not find anything on her. The only mention of Elizabeth is in her
father's will (dated 28 Feb 1764, probated 8 May 1764) which mentions sons Joseph,
William, David and Jedediah, and daughters Lucretia Hammond and Elizabeth Calkins,
confirming she was unmarried when her father wrote his will 7 months before she married
John Kelley.
