Posted on: Polk County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Polk?read=320 Surname: Conner ------------------------- I am looking for my great great uncle, Alanson Conner. He was born c1838 in Danville VT. (His parents were Almon (Abner) Conner and Susan (Woodward) Conner). Alanson fought in the Civil War for the 42nd Infantry (Union). He bought land in the Crookston area, Polk County Minnesota about 1890. His wife's name was Alvira. We are not sure where they got married. The Conner's originally settled in Boone Cty Illinois about 1845. Alanson's siblings were Isaac (my gg-gf), Eben and Calista. I am hoping that Alanson and Alvira had children. I look forward to any response. Thank you.
