The O’Kellys, from which come the names Kelly and Kelley, were of great eminence in Ireland. An O’Kelly commanded the Connaught division at the battle of Clontarf, A. D. 1014. O’Kellys were princes of Hy-Maine, Ireland, down to the reign of the English Queen Elizabeth. Twelve of the name were distinguished in the Spanish service, between 1718 and 1788, as officers in the Irish regiments of Irlanda, Hibernia, Ultonia, and Limerick.
