My Mary Jane McConnell was born ca. 1747 in Lancaster Co., PA which became Cumberland Co., PA. I am sorry I could not be of immediate help to you, and I wish you good luck in your search. A trip to Ireland would be a nice way to find those ancestors. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
