Sorry, George Young Kelso was Irish/white. I believe he was from Clones, Ireland and his brothers were John Kelso and Thomas Kelso. He moved from Baltimore, MD between 1820 and 1830. I have a record of a marriage to Ellin Rich, and someone here found a marriage to the daughter of George Mason Graham. Both Mason and Kelso were white. Baltimore had a large FPOC population. It looks like they married into these families. It is my plan to go to MD to do further research. I have a picture of Rebecca, George Y Kelso jr's sister, and she looks like a white woman, but was always listed as black (probably because of the one drop rule). Her daughters, and George's family married into the white community. I can send you a copy of the picture if you are interested.
