http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/640144665

The Kelly-Anderson Family collection consists of correspondence, genealogy, and financial and legal records from the two families. The majority of the collection relates to Meredith Anderson (1808-), a farmer & justice of the peace in Scott Co., Kentucky, but also includes information on Reuben (b. ca. 1798), Hugh Sutphin (1838-1914), William, John, and Everitt Anderson. The Kelly materials include manuscripts belonging to James Y. Kelly (b. 1765), one of the earliest settlers of Scott County, Kentucky who emigrated from Virginia. The collection includes his papers as well as the papers of his father-in-law Daniel Neal (1735-1804) and Kelly's descendents. Of note is a letter received from his brother John in Fauquier County, Virginia. The letter was written 4 October 1813 and describes the impact of the War of 1812 on life in Virginia, specifically detailing a skirmish with the British after they raided area farms and stole slaves and supplies.
