unknown15891623
of Dawlish, Devon, was an English politician. He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Totnes in 1589. His family were related to the Courtenay family. The Devon Kelways were related to the Courtenays, Drakes, Grenvilles and Wadhams. Other branches of the family lived in Dorset and Gloucestershire. Kelway himself was probably grandson of John Kelloway, merchant of the staple at Calais. From his will it appears that he was a physician or surgeon. He inherited the rectory and parsonage of Cullompton from his father, and with it a quarrel with Sir John More, who had at one time owned the property.
