William Connell, I notice on some papers it is spelled Crandel, Cannell, was
born____________, Holstein Danemark, Germany
He married in Eau Claire:
Henrietta Augusta Schilliing October 6th 1860
that was the date of the certificate
The date of the contract was September 20th 1860
It states his father and mother to be William Cannell Anna Cannell
They had one son my grandfather William Robert Connell
From The State Historical society:
He enlisted August 14,1862
Private, 19 years old, butcher
C, 8th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry
Discharged August 2, 1865
Died April 12, 1868 I believe this took place in Fall Creek, Wisconsin at St. Johns
Lutheran Church.
my guess he was born around ,1841-1842
I hope this information helps you help me.
I remember a cousin saying that the Schillings were from Lipton or Liptow Germany.
