    1. Peggie Kirkpatrick married to Daniel McConnell - Lanc. Co., PA 1700s
    2. I am researching my ancestor Daniel McConnell who arrived in Chester Co. (became Lancaster Co. in 1729) in 1723 with his father John from Dumfriesshire, SCT. Supposedly Daniel was born in 1710, but there is a problem with his wife and children; according to Boucher's History of Westmoreland Co., Daniel married Peggie Kirkpatrick (date unknown) and had 7 children: Samuel, David, Hugh, Daniel, Mary, Elizabeth, and Martha. But, according to the Mormon Ancestral File, the same-named children were born to him and a Mary McCommons McC. between ~1759 and 1770. According to her file in the AF, she was born about 1759 and died 1811. Something is wrong with this picture! Daniel's will twice mentions his wife Mary, so there is some confusion here. Since the Kirkpatrick name appears in later generations as a middle name and McCommons doesn't, I think maybe Peggie was his first wife and bore the children and that Mary was his 2nd wife and outlived him. Does anyone have dates, etc. on a Peggie Kirkpatrick who lived in Lancaster Co., Colerain Township, PA in the mid-1700's? Many thanks. D. Jack MacConnell [email protected]
