Gail,
Isabella KELSO immigrated from Ireland to Chester Co SC as a child in 1768,
arriving with her parents aboard the Earl of Donegal, one of the ships of
Rev. William Martin.  During the Revolutionary War, she tended prisoner of
the British, William WYLIE, and they fell in love.  They were married after
his release, and removed with their children to Alabama.  This line is well
documented and much research has led to many books on the KELSO family.  I
have some information, but suggest you check the queries at the Chester
County SCGenWeb site (URL in my sig) -- I know there are KELSO queries
there.  Please post either a new query or a reply to the board as well as
contacting the original poster, since lots of folks would be interested in
your data.  (In case you're curious, I'm a WYLIE, though not a descendant of
William, but of his brother John.)

I'd rather be looking for dead people than have them looking for me!
