In fact Warren County was part of Sussex County until about 1825, but I can't link my McConnell family to that location. This week I've been continuing a conversation with a Warren County McConnell researcher who probably descends from William, and I just let her know about your interest in William. A researcher by the name of Barbara Parks shared information with me about a William McConnell of Lehigh Township, Northampton County who wrote a will 27 June 1759 which was proven 28 February 1760. The will named his children James, William, Mary, Martha, Lydia, and Margaret, and "such other Child or Children of mine as my said Wife may happen to bear in my Life Time or be ensient (sic) with at the time of my Decease..." were also included as heirs. His wife's given name was Margaret. I am interested in this family myself, but Barbara may know more about them than I do. Maybe she will see one of your posts and respond, but I will also try to give her a heads-up via e-mail. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
