  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/12409912/patrick-b.-kelly Patrick B. Kelly arrived in America in December of 1853, with his wife Mary Ryan and their first four children, Bridget,Michael,Thomas and James Henry. Family information has them traveling by boat from Ireland to New Orleans and then by wagon to Illinois, where some Ryan relatives were living. They stayed in Illinois a couple of years, having two more children,twins,Mary Ann and Patrick II there in 1854. They were in Van Horne,Iowa, by 1857, when their seventh child, Charles was born. Patrick's father, Michael, a widower, also accompanied them on the journey. In Iowa they purchased land from the government, at $1.25 an acre and begin farming. At one time the family owned 1100 acres. The family planted more then crops in Iowa, they also planted their roots and although many Kelly family members have branched out to other areas of the United States, the core of the family remains there to this day.
