1 He died on 1 April 1833 at age 67 in Ghent, Columbia County, New York. He was buried at Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Ghent, New York.
Also referred to as Heinrich, Hendryk, and Hendrick Kels.

In the 1810 Census for Claverack, he is called Henry Kelse and has a family of 8: 1 boy to 10, 1 boy 10-16, 1 male 15-26, 1 male 26-44, 1 female to10, 1 girl 10-16, 1 16-24, 1 25-46.
