I was born in Montgomery County NC. I've traced my Kellis(current spelling) ancestors
to John Callis, born about 1802-1804 in Montgomery County. John's mother was
Elizabeth, born about 1781. She was living in John's home in the 1850 Montgomery
County census. Elizabeth was still living in 1860, then living with her daughter Lucy
Callis Hurt in Montgomery Co. There is another family of Kellis' in Montgomery
County. Their earliest known ancestor is Calvin James Kellis born about 1823-29. Not
sure if/how Calvin is related to John. Not sure of John's father. Any help with
figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
