They came to America separately and settled in Old Philadelphia, Pa, John came over in 1840. He became a United States citizen on October 4, 1856. He met Jane in Pennsylvania and married her in 1857, in Downingstown, Pa. They then moved to Killbuck, Oh and bought a farm. They left the farm to their seven children, four boys and three girls. Robert L. McKelvey was the oldest of the siblings and the next descendant in my tree. Newton George McKelvey is next descendant of my tree. Then comes my father Robert D. McKelvey, Sr.
