Biography
Kelsey was born on October 7, 1822, in Perry, New York.[3] His older brother, William H. Kelsey, was a member of the United States House of Representatives and his younger brother, Edwin B. Kelsey, was also a member of the Assembly and the Senate.[4]
Before moving to Montello, Wisconsin, in 1854, Kelsey married Lucretia Bacon in 1840. They had four children before her death in 1869. Among them were Otto Kelsey, who became a member of the New York State Assembly, and Julia Kelsey, who became Postmistress of Montello.[4]

Kelsey was a member of the Senate from 1862 to 1864 and of the Assembly in 1867, 1873 and 1880. He was a Republican before and after the American Civil War, but was elected on the National Union Party ticket for his 1863–1864 senate term and his 1867 assembly term.[2][4]
