His McConnell children included John, William, Joseph, Mary Jane, Samuel, Rachel, Thomas, Esther and Ann. John settled in Centre Co., PA. His widow and family moved to Clarion Co., PA. William moved to Bourbon Co., KY. Samuel went with him. Mary Jane marr. Thomas Milliken and some, not all, of her children settled in Greene Co., PA. Rachel married David Beale and lived in Juniata Co., PA. Thomas went to Logan Co., KY. and many of his children moved to Illinois after his death. Ann also went to Logan Co., KY and died there shortly after Thomas' death. Esther married twice and I am not sure where she went, yet. Joseph McConnell left Pennsylvania about the same time as William, but he settled in Blount Co., Tenn. Some of his children stayed in Tenn. and some went to Iowa, Missouri, California. I hope this informa! tion can help you decide if your McConnell may be connected, or not. I have only a couple of books left.
