Karen, Thank you for posting the William Mooney obit, and for the dates for Lydia and Andrew's William. I had a date of 1860 for his birth, but no date of death. I don't think I know anything about a Sarah Best. My interest in the Tillotsons all goes back to the sister Eliza Jane that married Michael McConnell. Michael was one of four brothers with no sisters and so I have researched the Tillotsons in part to understand the naming of children in the family of Michael and Eliza Jane. There are lots of connections and possible connections here: I did know about the Henderson-Tillotson marriage and have some of the births of the children of that marriage in Morris County. Do you have any information about Eliza Jane's first marriage to a Morgan? She and Michael McConnell were married in late 1856 and her parents' names are given, but her name was Morgan. Two of the children in Michael's and Eliza's family were born before the marriage and one or both may have been Morgans. Also sister Frances Almira Tilliston that others have married to a John Slaght or Slate was first married to an Elijah McConnell. I wish I could say whether he was related to my McConnells. Also I would love to know who Elijah's first wife Agnes' parents were. Another connection is sister Sarah Elizabeth Tilliston. Her first husband was a Blanchard, by whom she had a son "Gus" Augustus. After Sarah's first husband died she married Samuel McConnell, one of Michael McConnell's 3 brothers. There were no children by that marriage, but Samuel and and Sarah were both biological grandparents of Gus' son because Gus married Samuel's daughter Mary Catherine McConnell. Sarah's death certificate lists her as a McConnell, but you may already know that she is buried as a Blanchard. You had helped me with information on Daniel McConnell and Ida Samantha Norman. He was a son of Michael and Eliza Jane. Michael and Eliza Jane's youngest son, Michael Jr., is the one who I recently learned suffered a head injury from standing up on a train and running into a bridge.

I have 2 Sarah Bests married to Mooneys. Sarah Best b 1810 married John A Mooney b 1800 Sarah Edna Best b.1902 married James Sylvester Mooney b 1900. There were a quite a few Best-Mooney marriages. At one time there was an annual Best Family Reunion for many years. I inherited copies of the family records for Best and Mooney complied by the Reunion secretaries. Based on these records, the William Mooney for this obit would be: William Mooney 1855-1927 married Sallie Ann Saunders. Parents are Sarah Best b 1810 married John A Mooney b 1800 I have a Andrew Mooney 1832-1910 married to Lydia Tillston. (surname must be spelled incorrectly) Andrew is also the son of Sarah and John A Mooney. Thank you for all the info!
