Charles and Elizabeth Kelley had three or four children. Three are known to have reached adulthood. The 1850 census of Gonzales County, Texas, shows a son James, age 10. That would make him older than the marriage. No other record of such a child has been found. That census also does not show Charles and Elizabeth's second son, Robert, who would have been 5 years old by then.
The children of Charles Kelley and Elizabeth Jane Henry were:
James Kelley | b 1840 d young? | found only in 1850 census |
