(Research):It is generally agreed that two young men of the
name Kells were with the "Land Adventureres" when Oliver Cromwell invaded Ireland, about 1649.
It was also claimed that members of the family were with the armies of King William at the Battle of the Boyne in
1690, and that they came into possession of large tracts of
land in the "Ultster Plantation" in the Northern counties
of Ireland, a considerable amount of which is still
occupied or owned by their descendants, especially in Co.
Cavan and C. Fermanagh.
One of these young men (Ref. # 1), after returning to
England or Scotland, was twice married, but of his first
marriage we have no record. His second wife was Miss
Crawford.
(Ref #2).
Of his children the name of only one was recorded. Robert
Kells. (Ref # 3) named after one of the Kings of Scotland.
