Kellits, Jamaica
Kellits
Kellits is a settlement in Jamaica. It has a population of 2,658 as of 2009.[1]
Kellits may take its name from the landholding of Moses Kellet, assembly man for the parish of Clarendon in the 1750s,[2] although records give even earlier reference to a George Kellet of Clarendon and his son Henry, born in 1698.[3]
