What is recorded here
Thomas Kelly is a birthplace in County Laois, Ireland. Perhaps he stood in that exact soil on July 13, 1769, breathing air that would later shape hymns and found the Kellyites. Maybe the quiet fields still hold the rhythm of his young steps before he changed the world with song.
Why this person is known: Irish hymn writer and founder of the Kellyites (1769-1855)
