MOSES KELLY or KELLEY OF GOFFSTOWN NH -
ANCESTRY & GENEALOGY

------FIRST GENERATION-----

JOHN-1 KELLY
Note: Kelly names spelled variety of ways: Caly, Cally, Kelley, Calie
Birth: Abt 1610 in Exeter, Devonshire, England
Death: 28 Dec 1644 in Newbury, Essex Co, MA
Married: ?Nancy Bishop
Came from Newbury, Berkshire, ENG to Newbury, MA bef. 1640.
Biography: Among the earlier grants of land made in the town of Newbury, MA is the following: "To John Kelly a House Lot of four acres over the Great River, be it more or less bounded by the River on the north. John Pemerton on the west, by the way on the south, and John Merrill on the west, Abraham Tappan on the east, the way on the north and the marsh on the south." The date of this grant is not given, but it was probably made about the year 1639. [The 'Great River' is the river Parker]. A house lot seems at some time to have been assigned to him at a different locality. This appears from a later record, having reference to his only son, to whom was granted a lot of four acres, described as having the "Comon" on the west and south, and as "bounded with stakes being granted by the Towne for his father's House Lott." Neither of the two house lots thus assigned to the first John Kelly was accepted by him, or if accepted, was made use of; for when he built his house he located on the north side of Oldtown Hill, at a considerable distance from the community on the banks of the river Parker. It is said of John Kelly, that on one occasion, hearing a disturbance in his enclosure during the night, he sprung from his bed, and, without stopping to dress himself, rushed out of the house, and, with a club attacked and killed a wolf, which was making havoc with his sheep. In Coffin's History of Newbury, a different account is given of the origin of John Kelly, the first who came to this county. It is there said that "his father emigrated from Ireland to Newbury, ENgland, became attached to a lady of rank; and having on one occasion by his courage successfully defended her father's house when attacked by robbers, obtained his consent to a marriage with his daughter." This statement is wholly unsupported by corroborative facts or historical references.
Second Biography: Reportedly he was the son of Michael Kelly of Radcliff, Devonshire, England who removed himself back to the family lands in Kelly, Exeter, Devonshire, England.(Lands in England owned or inherited by families were called Parishes and usually names after the family). He had two brothers, William and Henry.Whether there were other children in the family is not known, there are no records. In February, 1633-34 the Council for New England, assembled at Whitehall England as ordered by the Kind, and adopted an order placing certain restrictions of the passengers and merchandise to the colony ordered to Massachusetts Bay. Before the ships of nine then lying in the RiverThames were allowed to sail, instructions were expressly provided that the Captains in command of these vessels "shall cause the prayers contained in the Book of Common Prayers, established in the Church of England, be said daily at the usual hours of Morning and Evening Prayers, and thatthey cause all persons on board said ships be present at the same time." John and William KELLY were on the ship "James." Their brother, Henry, stayed behind to tend the family lands, since he was the oldest and would inherit them per line of succession. There were nine ships to sail to carry supplies and stock, etc. In the ship, "Mary and John" came other friends: Thomas Parker, James Noyes, John Spencer, Henry Short, HenryLunt, John Bartlett and many others who ultimately settled in "Newberry" MA.Upon their arrival in New England, most of these passengers went to "Agawam," now Ipswitch, MA where they remained until spring of 1635. On Sept 3, 1633, the General Court granted the settlers permission to setup a trading house on the Merrimack River; and under the date of May 6,1635, the House of Deputies passed the following order: Quascacunquen is allowed by the court to be a plantation and it is referred to Mr. John Humprey, Mr. John Endicott,Capt Nathanial Turner and Capt William Trask, or anythree of them, to set out the bounds of Ipswich and Quascacunquen or so much thereof as they can; and name of said plantation shall be changed,and shall hereafter be called Newberry. Further, it is ordered that it shall be in the power of the court to take order that said plantation shall receive a sufficient company to make a complete town. Rev's Thomas Parker and Rogers, and those associated with them, having permission to begin a plantation "to be called Newberry," made preparations to remove from Ipswich early in the spring.
