I am looking for any history of Halifax Co. in the early 1800's. My gg-grandfather Michael M. Connell and his brothers (Chambliss B., John W. and Nathanial L.) were born there in the early 1800's. I think their family were members of the Baptist church at Daniel's Meeting Place. Their mother's name may have been Nancy. Susan Jones sjones@monroe.lib.mi.us Michigan >> The Author is W.C. Allen and it covers the eriod before and after the Revolutionary War. I see a Timothy Connell listed in as a Halifax County Volunteer (Revolutionary War) W.C. allen was the Superintendent of the Weldon , N.C. public shcools. Florence
