Nathaniel Hayes & Louisa Jane Ellis Coffey - Redux

I previously wrote about Nathaniel and Louisa however, other than children, I did not have much information for him.

A recent contact confirming the marriage of their daughter Nancy Ellen to James Perry Kelsay by descendant David Vox Mullen prompted me to take another look at Nathaniel's family by working backwards from the Kelsay family.

As a result, I found that Nathaniel was born Sep. 22, 1835 in KY and died 29 Mar 1908 in Russell Co., KY.  Louisa was born Dec. 9, 1836, also in KY and died Apr. 19, 1909 in Russell Co.  Both are buried at the Kelsay Family Cemetery near Jamestown, KY.  According to Find A Grave, this cemetery is located at 165 Cabin Creek Road at geo-coordinates latitude 36.98498, longitude 85.19971. A location services places this cemetery within the Jamestown community.

Nancy did marry James Perry Kelsay Jul. 8, 1884 in Jamestown, Russell Co. and together they had at least nine children:

William F., 1887-1975, married Sallie Bailey, daughter of Willis Bailey on Aug. 8, 1926 in Clark Co., IN.  He was 39 years old while Sallie was 19.

Joseph Butler, 1890-1974, married Sallie Bailey, daughter of Willis Bailey on Aug. 8, 1926 in Clark Co., IN.  He was twice married, first to Nora Ethel Wells, born Apr 18, 1894, died Feb. 23, 1944 and with whom he fathered at least four children:  John Vernon, Marcella, Paul P., and Otha Lerman. Paul married Alene Kimbler on Jun. 20, 1946 in Adair Co., KY. His second wife was Mrs. Fanny Elizabeth Farris O'Bannon, a daughter of Henry and Sallie Gwinn Farris. They were both aged 64 years at the time and there were no children born to the union.

Other children of Nancy and James Perry were: Mollie M., born Aug., 1892; Ruth L., born Jan., 1895; John F., born Dec., 1897; Nona, born Apr., 1899; Perry A., born c1903 and Nola D., born c1907.  

I have not yet finished collecting info on those childen but hope to very soon.
