I have some more information in my search for possible relatives. My Great Grandfather James Wallace Kelso Sr. married Mary Louise Nickelson in Tennessee.

James Wallace Kelso had alt least 3 other siblings a brother named Robert Kelso. His brother, Robert, had two daughters, Norma Jean Kelso and Peggy Sue Kelso. His sister I believe were Joanna Kelso and Cecilia Kelso.

James Wallace Kelso's father name is unkown to me. I am told his mother's name was Sophia, but thats all I know.

James Wallace Kelso and Mary Louise Nickelson had eleven children together in this order. The first five were born at home by midwife in Tennessee. The remaining six were also born by midwife in the area of Bridgeport, Alabama.

1. James Wallace Kelso Jr.
2. Cecilia Kelso (named after James Sr's sister)
3. Gloria Kelso
4. Sophia Kelso (named after her grandmother)
5. Alice Kelso
6. Ben Kelso (my father)
7. Prudie Kelso
8. Charles Edward Kelso
9. Sarah Kelso
10. Johnnie Kelso
11. Patricia Kelso

During the rise of General Motors the family all moved north. James Wallace Jr. and Alice Kelso settled in the Columbus, Ohio region. The rest of the family settled in Flint, Michigan where many found work at General Motors.
