Spelling of Surname Kelly?[edit]

I have a whole bunch of family documents dating back to the early 1800s, which come primarily from the family of Dr. Jonas Stanbery (1761-1840), a notable Ohio land speculator prior to Ohio statehood. and his sons, particularly Henry Stanbery (1803-1881), who became Ohio's first Attorney General (1846-1851) and U.S. Attorney General (1866-1868), and his younger brother Charles Stanbery, Esq. (1809-1892). I was looking at a number of deeds and leases for Charles. There was a lease from an N.B. Kelly to Charles Stanbery on June 8, 1843, for a Brick House on 3rd Street, which sat on a lot that had 25 feet on the west side of 3rd Street, but extended 120 feet back to a private alley. The north line of said 25 feet of frontage sat 90 from, and was parallel to, the South line of Rich Street---so nearly at the corner of 3rd and Rich Streets. Looking at this area a moment ago, I realized that the house was torn down---how long ago I don't know---because the parking garage for the City Center Mall sits there now.

I got online and Googled, "Who was N.B. Kelly in Columbus Ohio 1843" and this Wikipedia was the top result. Nathan B. Kelley, according to the page.

The interesting thing is that the contract document spells his name as Kelly. There were many variations of surname spellings in old documents, I realize. But he also signed on the reverse side for three separate payments, also spelled Kelly.

When Charles Stanbery later renewed his lease, the house had in the meantime been sold by a couple named Benjamin L. Kelly and wife Fanny to a man named Abraham Carlisle and wife Lucy Francis. Perhaps Benjamin L. Kelly was a brother??, also in Columbus, Ohio?
