Zachariah Connell

Authored by: Connellsville Area Historical Society on Feb 2, 2000

Zachariah Connell, the founder of Connellsville, was one of the earliest
settlers in the region. Born in 1741 near Winchester, Frederick County,
Virginia, he settled in present day Fayette County sometime after 1770.
This area was known as the District of West Augusta and was claimed by
both Virginia and Pennsylvania. Zachariah Connell served as a gentleman
justice for Youghiogania County, District of West Augusta, as well as a
justice of the peace. During the Revolution he was a captain of militia
and a Ranger of the Frontier in William Perry's company, Northumberland
County, Pennsylvania, Rangers of the Frontier, 1778-1783.

As a surveyor and land agent for Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia, Howard
of Maryland, and the Chew family of Philadelphia, Zachariah Connell was
an able and highly respected judge of land.

He surveyed a tract of land on the east bank of the Youghiogheny River
containing 147 acres, which he called "Mud Island." This piece of land
became a natural stopping-place for emigrants & travelers to build rafts
to float down the river. He decided that this important route to the west
would be an excellent site for a city. Zachariah Connell surveyed a town
of 180-quarter acre lots and secured a charter on March 21, 1793 for the
town he called Connellsville.

His kindness and generosity were illustrated by the charter, which gave
the town residents permission to make use of the stone quarry, coal bank,
and adjacent timber & springs. He also donated land for a public building,
churches, schools, and a graveyard.

Zachariah Connell, a son of James & Ann Williams Connell, married (1)
Rebecca Rice and (2) Margaret Wallace. He died in 1813 and is buried on
a hill overlooking Connellsville. Many of his descendants moved west, but
there are still Connells in Connellsville.
