Frances Ann Kelley, daughter of Middleton Kelley and Matilda Short was born in 
1834. and after her sister, Selena, who was born in  1833 died, she married her 
sister's husband Moses
Goff.  They were married on November 4, 1850, and that was only a month and 4 
days after her sister, Selena died on October 1, 1850. Selena had left a 4 
month old baby, William Randolph Goff, and Frances Ann probably was very much 
needed to take care of him.  
Their children were Emily, Selena, Ruth and Baldwin Goff, and their daughter, 
Selena was the first wife of John Wesley Shelton, who was a brother of my 
grandmother Frances Ann Shelton Kelley who married Cicero Jefferson Kelley, who 
was the younger brother of Selena and Frances
Kelley Goff.
Selena Goff  Shelton is described as a tiny, delicately built very ladylike 
person with blond hair and blue eyes. She was born March 8, 1852 sand she died 
on April 2, 1881 at the age of
29 years. Her father, Moses Goff, was born in 1816, and he died  December 28, 
1894
at the home of John Wesley Shelton, and he is buried in the Shelton Family 
Cemetery.Love,
