Byron, thanks for writing. My Samuel Kelso was b. in Spartanburg Co. S.C. in
1794. I believe he was in the War of 1812; any way I have a military folder
of a Samuel Kelso. He moved to Dubois Co. Ind. before 1819 since that is the
year he married Dorcas Foster, daughter of Henry and Sarah Farris Foster, in
Daviess Co. Ind. She was also from Spartanburg Co. S.C. I believe several
members of both families came to Ind. My burning question is, who was the
father of Samuel? My theory is that it was John and Margaret but I can find
nothing to substantiate that. There were so many Samuels, Josephs, and Johns
that it is hard to sort through which one is which.
If you have anything about Samuel's brothers and sisters I would love to
know about it.
Anna
