THERE WERE THREE CONVICTS OF THIS NAME ON THE THREE BEES.

The entry in the Colonial Secretary’s Index seems to group all three together, and probably the entries do not refer to the same person.

The first three items, dated 1820, on the list in the Colonial Secretary Index above, appear to relate to one of the other John Kellys, described in newspaper reports, as an “old and decrepid man”.
