I received docs from Pittsburg State Univ. on this family. It reported that "Wayland's uncles on his mother's side were sneaking cowards. There were three of them...Moses, Robert and Fountain Kelley. All three were thieves and murderers. Fountain Kelley before he was 21 killed a neighbor boy and was sent to the penitentiary. Moses and Robert were hanged at Hawesville, KY Oct 28, 1853 for the wholesale murder of the crew of a flat-boat known as "Eliza" on the Ohio River on the night of Oct. 22, 1852...Andrew Allen Veatch, 'Criminal Records of the Wayland,' 'The Remonstrator' 1.6 (July 1, 1913(: 3. The 'Confession of Moses Kelley' was published in book form by D.L. Adair (i.e. Adams)" Moses was 28 and Robert was 18 when hung, and admitted murders. MIcha was reported to have set a house on fire in Ripley County...may have been accidental or deliberate.
