Notes for Daniel KELSEY

One website states his dates as 1733-1783 with no proof.
Revolutionary War? See
History of Essex and Hudson counties, New Jersey, Volume 1
Possibly this man, mentioned in papers at the NJHS in Newark:
Manuscript Group 198, Matthias Winans (1739-1782), Innkeeper Account book, 1774-1780, Dec 10 2007
The records consist of an account book dating from 1774-1780 kept by Matthias Winans detailing business transactions at his inn. Each account is labeled with the name of an individual and then notes date, drink or food purchased, and price. Patrons
generally purchased such comestibles as brandy, gin, grog, mutton, fish, and dinner. Many of the accounts do not give the details of each transaction, referring instead to a ledger, "blue covered book," or daybook. For patrons who stayed at Mr. Winan’s
establishment, accounts list length of lodging and related services such as hay or feed for the customer’s horse. The account book is indexed and the last page has a "Memorandum of Boarders" which lists prominent lodgers, primarily military officers,
who stayed at the inn. Interleaved in the book is an April 25, 1796 inventory of goods to be auctioned belonging to Daniel Kilsey of Rahway
