McConnell, George H. McConnell, and Arthur McConnell. A nephew James McConnell was with them. After the civil war in the 1870s they moved to Coffeyville, Montgomery County, Kansas. Edward E was my great grandfather. In the late 1800s, about 1890 Edward and his wife Emma (Barrett) McConnell moved to Washington State. Arthur died in Coffeyville in 1905, and is buried with his wife Eugenia at Coffeyville, Kansas. My father told me the rest of the McConnell family may have returned to Ireland but I have never been able to track that possibility. I am also at a Brick Wall.
