No actually its not orignally I thought they were the same person but actually William T. Kelsey was my William T. Kelsey's cousin and he recieved a Pension from teh state of Tennessee were as my William T. Kelsey was killed during the war and moved from Tennessee a couple of years before the Civil War so no they arent the same person. My William T. Kelsey actually enlisted as William T. Kelsoe my family over the years have used many alternative spellings including Kellsay, Kellsey, Kelsey, Kelsay, Kelso, and Kelsoe.
