Thomas Kelley

Thomas Patrick Kelley is a Canadian author of three books on the infamous Black Donnellys of Lucan, Ontario.

He first wrote "The Black Donnellys", then "The Curse of the Black Donnellys", which was a fictionalized account of the vengeful vendetta undertaken by Francis Donnelly, one of the surviving members of the family on those responsible for the massacre of his parents and siblings, and finally, "The Donnelly Family Album", which detailed the genealogy of the Donnellys of Crossmeglin Township, Armagh County, Ireland, their emigration to Canada in the mid-1830s, and subsequent of five of their family members on February 4, 1880.

However successful the books were, they were denounced as grossly inaccurate.
