The records of the first VanScoy-Knapp reunion, held October 10, 1907, near Nova, Ashland County, Ohio, refers to "Rev. McConnell of Savannah" Ohio. Here are excerpts from the minutes: Rev. McConnell of Savannah then offered Prayer. . . . Mrs T L Mc Connall sang a solo the Old barn window ??? which was fine. While she sang T W Fancher took a Collection to defray the expenses. Mrs Emma Hale then read a partial history of the Vanscoy & Knapp familys which was very interesting. after reading of this history Rev T L McConnall sang a very touching sole Your Mothers apron string . . . . it was then moved and seconed that Rev and Mrs T L McConnell be accepted as Honorary members. . . . Saved by his grace was then sang by Rev and Mrs McConnell followed by a short prayer by Mrs Geo Ford. Rev Mc Connell then dismissed us by the Benediction. . . . " They also are mentioned in the minutes of the 1909 reunion. I've found the following the following family in Village of Savannah, Clear Creek Tonwship, Ashland County, Ohio, in the 1910 census. McConnell, Thomas L, head, m w 46 m1 18, Ohio Ohio Ohio, own income " Kathleen, wife, f w 42 m1 18, mother of 2 children both living, Massachusetts Massachusetts Massachusetts " Carl, son, m 2 15 s, Ohio Ohio Massachusetts Ralph T, son, m w 13 s, Ohio Ohio Massachusetts I have not yet found them in the 1900 or 1920 census records. The 1910 obituary of Rachell Ann (Bennett) ( Van Scoy) Ford says "The funeral services were held at East Greenwich Church conducted by Rev. T. L. McConnell of Savannah. " I'd like to know more about Rev. McConnell. I'm especially interested in learning whether he was the pastor of the East Greenwich Church, which I think was a Methodist church also known as the Nineveh Church in Greenwich Township, Huron County, Ohio. That congregation long ago disbanded and the building was torn down. The cemetery remains and is known as the Nineveh Cemetery. I have seen the monument for Rachel Ford in that cemetery.
