I am researching the family of John and Sarah Kelly Denny of Clark
Co, IN who were married there in 1811 and who, I believe, lived in
the Charlestown area. John Denny (1789-1862) was born in PA
according to the 1860 Federal Census and is buried at the Charlestown
Cemetery. Sarah Kelly (179?-1825?) was born in Kentucky and was the
younger sister of William, Samuel and John Kelly who lived in the
Bethlehem area of Clark County. I believe they had at least four
children:
1. Sarah Denny (c 1811-after 1880) who married Henry C Mitchell
in 1834. They were the parents of Elvira Mitchell, Margaret Mitchell
and John H Mitchell.
2. Elizabeth Denny (c 1815-after 1880) who never married.
3. Rebecca Denny (c 1818 -?) who married James Ross in 1840.
4. Martha Denny (1821-1920) who married Christopher Clemer in
1848, By 1860 they were living in Louisville, KY. They were the
parents of John, Laura and Mary Clemer.
I am particularly interested in finding out where Sarah and her
children are buried. Is there a cemetery listing for the Charlestown
Cemetery available on-line or somewhere in Clark County?
If anyone has information about any of this family, I would
appreciate hearing from them. I have considerable information about
Sarah Kelly Denny's family which I will be happy to share.
Thank you for your assistance.
