Do you know the given name of Mr. Kelley, William Kelley's father, is? Where was Nancy Dunbar born? Was William Kelley born in Massachusetts, since he was in the Dracut, Massachusetts militia during the American Revoluntionary War? I have found where they say that Lydia Frazier was possibly his second wife. I have found William Kelleys in Massachusetts who were born approximately the same date.

Here some info on Sophronia Kelley, my 2nd great-grandmother.

Sophronia Kelley, the daughter of Alexander Kelley and Mary Holmes Davis, both of Vermont, was born on July 22, 1826, in Potton Township, Quebec, Lower Canada [near Troy, Vermont], and died on January 24, 1907, in Franklin, Franklin, Idaho. She married, third, as his first plural wife, on October 9, 1855, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, William Rufus Rogers Stowell, the son of Augustus Oliver Artemis Stowell of Connecticut and Mary Stephens Holmes of Massachusetts, who was born on September 23, 1822, in Solon, Cortland, New York, and died on May 30, 1901, in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. They had seven children.

Sophronia married, first, on August 7, 1845, in Lee County, Iowa, Gardner Eldredge, the son of Gardner Eldredge of Massachusetts and Permelia Mecham of New Hampshire, who was born on April 7, 1822, in Salem, Mercer, Pennsylvania, and died about 1848 in Copely, Knox, Illinois. They had one child, George Washington Eldredge, who was born on June 25, 1846, in Mormon Grove, Pottawattamie, Iowa, and died on August 16, 1924, in Sterling, Bingham, Idaho. She married, second, Thomas Corbitt, the son of James Corbitt and Mary Mitchell, both of England, who was born on April 8, 1807, in Ollisthorp, Leiceshire, England, on May 13, 1848, in Winter Quarters, Douglas, Nebraska. They had one child, James Don Carlos Corbitt, who was born on October 2, 1851, in Nephi, Juab, Utah, and died on November 20, 1898, in Lake Shore, Utah, Utah, and who was raised by his father. She divorced him in about 1855.

Thomas Corbitt married, first, Hannah Cobson in about 1830 in Ollisthorp, Leiceshire, England, and was divorced on May 11, 1848, in Winter Quarters, Douglas, Nebraska. He married, third, in about 1855, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, Sarah Ann Pratt.
