Notes

Arthur McConne11, our subject's great-grandfather, married Elizabeth Wilson in Ireland and later came to the United States. They were the parents of the following children: Susan, Sarah, Margaret, Mary, George, Arthur, James, John and Thomas. Thom as was born on November 4, 1772, and when a young man left the paternal home in Pennsylvania and located in Mason county, Kentucky. There he married Mary Downing, who was born in Pennsylvania on October 7, 1779, and was one of a family of fourtee n children. When but a girl her parents moved to Kentucky, where she grew to womanhood and was married. Soon after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. McConnell left their home in Kentucky and moved to Brown county, Ohio, where they entered land which th ey later developed and improved. Thev were among the early settlers of that section, and their home was at that time located in an undeveloped and unimproved district. They were typical pioneers, who were destined to accept the hardships as the y found them. They were ambitious to secure a home, and it was with a firm determination that assumed the task of making a cultivated farm from the wilderness.

They made this farm their home until the time of their deaths. The wife and mother died in 1832, after which the father married Elizabeth Downing, a sister of his first wife. Thomas McConnell was a captain in the War of 1812, and a man of stron g personality and of much ability. His influence was keenly felt in the life of his home community, for he was a man of excellent judgment. He was the father of the following children: John, Susanna, Ellis D., Joseph W., Martha B., Thomas E., Rach el, Mary, Amos, Milford, Nancy and one that died in infancy. His life was a worthy one and he accomplished much in his pioneer home. Ellis D. McConnell, the father of William W., cast his first vote for Henry Clay for President.
