Just some additional clarification on the McConnell Newsletter.: The McConnell family in the newsletter is concerned with the descendants of George McConnell, immigrant. George arrived in Pennsylvania about 1746 and settled in the Lebanon, PA area. About 1800, after the death of their father, his son, George Jr., and a daughter, Nancy, migrated to what is now Scott County, VA and settled about 1823 in the area just north of Gate City. His daughter had a son out of wed-lock in Pennsylvania whom she named Thomas James McConnell. After the birth of her son, she married Philip Dinges (Dingus) in Pennsylvania prior to the migration to SW Virginia. Thus, she is the matriarch of one line of the McConnell family through her son, and the matriarch of one of the Dingus branches. Philip, Nancy, and some of his family, as well as others all migrated at the same time with the McConnells. Every year in the summer, the descendants of this group of McConnells has a gathering called a "Hooley" in Nicklesville, VA - a town not far from Gate City. The newsletter has information about The descendants of George, Sr. and the inter-related families in Scott County. John Tolbert (My lineage is I am the son of J'Reever Elizabeth Shoop, daughter of Louisa McConnell Shoop, daugahter of James McConnell, son of Brackenberry McConnell, son of Thomas James McConnell, son of Nancy McConnell Dingus, daughter of George McConnell, immigrant. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of petunia95620@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 7:05 AM To: MCCONNELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [McCnl] Re: SW VA McConnells This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

McCONNELL, editor of the Charleston Plaindealer, Charleston; was born in Cadiz, Ohio, Dec. 26, 1826; he began, at 12 years of age, to learn his father’s business of chairmaking; his inclinations were, however, toward literary or professional pursuits, but he was prevented from carrying out his intentions in that direction by a weakness of the eyes; at the age of 17, he began teaching school, and taught during the winters for four years; in 1859 he engaged in the grocer’s business in Cadiz, in which he continued until 1871, when he embarked in the tanning business, and followed this until the spring of 1878; he then came to Charleston and assumed editorial charge of the Charleston Plaindealer, a Republican newspaper, the oldest in the county. He was married Jan. 3, 1861, to Miss Mary Quest, of Cadiz, Ohio, a native of Indiana Co., Penn.” 1887 Portrait and Biographical Album of Coles County, Illinois, page 382 JOHN A. McCONNELL, editor of the Charleston Plaindealer, is a native of Cadiz, Harrison Co., Ohio, and was born Dec. 26, 1826. His parents, Michael and Susan (Galligher) McConnell, were natives of Maryland and Ireland, respectively. His grandfather, Alexander McConnell, was a native of Ireland, who emigrated to America when a young man, settling in Steubenville, Ohio, afterward removing to Jefferson County, where his death took place on the homestead. He was married and reared a family of six children. He possessed much mechanical genius, and was a very industrious man, and for a time was Deputy Sheriff of Jefferson County. He invested his accumulation in a good farm, of which he took possession and occupied the latter part of his life. His son, Michael, the father of our subject, learned house-painting and chair-making, which he followed for several years, and later engaged in the grocery business at Cadiz, Ohio, where he spent the last years of his life, and passed to! his final rest in the summer of 1872. The mother survived her husband about three years, dying in November, 1875. The subject of this sketch was the eldest of ten children born to his parents, and early in life exhibited unusual brightness, being able to read quite well when but four years of age. At this time he was afflicted with a disease of the eyes, and for four years was not allowed to look into a book, and in the meantime forgot nearly all he had learned, being obliged to begin over again at his letters. He remained at home during his childhood and youth, and for six or seven years was occupied in teaching, remaining under the parental roof until his marriage, in 1861. The lady destined to share his future life was Miss Mary Quest, of Hummelstown, Pa., and their wedding took place in January, 1861. Our subject then engaged in the grocery trade at Cadiz, Oho, for ten years following, then selling out, engaged in company with Hersey W. Kinsey, in the tannery business. They operated together until 1877, then sold out, and the following year, Mr. McConnell came to Charleston and! assumed his present position on the Plaindealer. On the 14th of March, 1883, he met with a great affliction in the loss of his estimable wife, who died lamented by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was afterward married to Miss Martha A. Kennedy, daughter of M. H. and Catherine (Snider) Kennedy, of Ohio. They occupy a snug home on Washington street, and number among their friends and associates a large proportion of the refined and educated people of Charleston. Mr. McConnell writes and fights for Republican principles, and with his wife, is a member in good standing of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Plaindealer under his excellent management has become a paper much sought for by the people of Coles County, and exerts no small influence in the molding of public opinion.”
