I have traced the McConnell's in Pa in every cenus as well as in Ohio. The Hineman's as well, as John McConnell and John Hinemantraveled together from western Pa. into Trumbull Co., Ohio around 1800-1802. The families enter married and eventually went to Wisconsin together.We have a Harry McConnell in out family but he was born in 1882 in Mindoro, Wisconsin. I am uncertain of any prior "Harry's" in my line. I just returned from Wisconsin today after doing more McConnell/Hineman family research there.
