He died and was buried in the New Hope Methodist Cemetery april 5th 1882. Lawrenceville GA. His father was Moses I McConnell and Mother was Elizabeth Draper McConnell. Both still buried on the family plot. (i have more info on this as well.) Our Family thought Moses came over from Ireland (occording to reacords kept by our gg grandfather) it is likely Moses was the Son of Abraham McConnell from York PA. 1724-1750 Also possible Abraham was the son of Abram dd 1756 My family is also working on our family tree. So far we go back to Moses McConnell. I could send you alot of info if you would like. Also, Tilford's wife Nancy Billue McConnell grew up in my county and apparently still have quite a few graves of the Billue clan around.
