Message Board Post:
It has been awhile since I have done any research. Today I noted your entry regarding Sam
McConnell. You list your ancestors as Samuel, James & Malinda, William, Della ...
Our ancestors are James & Malinda, Ida Mae. Recently I have found that Samuel and
Mary Ann can not be James' parents. In the census records James lists his father as
born in Ireland and his mother born in PA. Both Samuel and Mary were born in KY. My
grandfather had told my mother that Samuel was James' father, so we don't know why
this info was passed down. Other McConnell's in the Decatur Co. area list James as the
son of John, b. 1778 in Ireland and Abigail Herron, b. 1776 in PA. This family was also in
the Indiana area. Any info regarding records to prove who James parents were would be
welcome.
