I have checked, and I don't have any other Hannah's in the family. McConnell's seem to like to honor past geneations by naming children after loved ones. No luck in this case. I am trolling for casual links at this stage in the family tree investigation. I am looking for any connections with the Plain Grove Presbyterian Church, in Harlensburg, Pa, the Secender Burial grounds in the general Harlensburg area, and the Neshannock presbyterian church in its earliest years. Somewhere in there is the burial locations of Denis and Bridget McConnell, I am also looking for marriages of Denis & Bridget's 6 daughter (Nancy, Elizabeth,Margaret, Rosanna, Catherine, and Rebekah) in the early 1800's in that area. Also any lines the come from John McConnell (born ~1784) who would have married locally. John had 4 children - James b-1807, Sarah, Alexander (B-18120 and Ann (b-1814) I am also looking for any other early connections from the 1790's up to 1820's in the Lawrence, Butler, Mercer County (Pennsylvania) areas. Just on the general theory that someone knew my lines and probable intermarried. If I really get lucky, I will find another child of Deni and Bridget or a sibling odf Denis who may have traveled to Indian country pre 1790 census.
