III. JOHN KELLY (Patrick), b. February, 1741, in Londonderry township, Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pa .; d. February 8, 1832, in Buffalo Valley. After the Indian purchase of 1768, he settled in the Buffalo Valley, enduring all the hardships of pioneer life. At the age of twenty-seven he was a captain and major on the frontiers, and at the outset of the Revolution was ready for the conflict; he was a member of the con- vention of July 15, 1776, and subsequently entered the army, having previously assisted in organizing the associators, being appointed major in Col. James Potter's battalion. After the battle of Princeton, when Cornwallis by a forced march arrived at Stony Brook, General Washington sent an order to Colonel Potter to destroy the bridge at Worth's Mills in sight of the advancing British. Colonel Potter ordered Major Kelly to make a detail for that purpose, but the latter said he would not order another to do what some might say he was afraid to do himself; he took a detachment and went to work. The encmy opened upon him a heavy fire of round shot; before all the logs were cut off, several balls struck the log on which he stood, and it breaking down sooner than he expected, he was precipitated into the stream ; his party moved off, not expecting him to escape. By great exertions he reached the shore, through the high water and floating timbers, and followed the troops. Encum- bercd as he was with his wet and frozen
clothes, he suceceded in making prisoner an armed British scout, and took him into camp. During the summer of 1777, Colonel Kelly commanded on the frontier, and con- tinued in that service almost to the close of the Revolution. The record of his adven- tures during those troublesome times reads like a romance. Colonel Kelly was ap- pointed agent for confiscated estates May 6, 1778, and in 1780 was chosen to the Assembly. He was one of the magistrates of Northumberland county from August 2, 1783, for upwards of twenty years. He married Sarah Polk, daughter of James Polk, of the valley, d .. January 2, 1331. They had issue :
i. James, removed to Penn's Valley, and died there ; was father of James K. Kelly, U. S. senator from Oregon, 1872-1878.
