A Thomas Kelsey served as an officer in the Parliamentary army and was a major-general of militia in 1655 (DNB); another Thomas Kelsey, goldsmith of London, briefly held stock in the HBC in 1679.
Kelsey certainly was apprenticed to someone in 1677 for his indenture of that year was in the HBC’s possession in 1683.
