John Kelly (U.S. politician)
John Kelly (1822–1886) of New York City, known as "Honest John", was a boss of Tammany Hall and a U.S. Representative from New York from 1855 to 1858. The title "Honest" was given to him during his years as New York City Sheriff, and was more ironic than truthful. John Kelly was able to amass a vast fortune estimated at $800,000 by 1867, through both ethical and questionable means. In addition, after having his methods questioned and his title insulted by Mayor Havemeyer, Kelly responded with a lawsuit for libel. On the day of the trial, the Mayor mysteriously dropped dead of apoplexy.〔Connable, Alfred, and Edward Silberfarb. Tigers of Tammany: Nine Men Who Ran New York. New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1967. Print.〕
==Family Life==
Kelly was born in New York City to Hugh Kelly and Sarah Donnelly Kelly. He received a parochial education but was forced to quit when his father died. He married Ann McIlhargy, to whom a son and two daughters were born. By 1872 his wife and children had died. He then fled the city overseas, a defeated man from the loss of his family. He returned to New York in response to the Boss Tweed scandal and eventually was remarried to Ann Theresa Mullen, the niece of New York's Cardinal McCloskey; a son and a daughter were born of that marriage.〔Jerome Mushkat. Kelly, John. ''American National Biography Online'', February 2000.〕
