Hi Bonita, Thanks so much for all of the info on the Conners. You were a big help in filling in some blank areas. I recently purchased (on a 50-50 basis) with the Carlsbad, CA Library a copy of JENNINGS COUNTY, INDIANA, 1816-1999 compiled by the Jennings County Historical Society and was disappointed that only A.S. Conner was mentioned as having been partly responsible for the establishment of The Plain Dealer in 1864. Dori Bruns
