Notes: Some information provided by Harold Rarden in the Hugh Martin family sheet above. Information online suggests that William Martin's mother could be a Mary Stewart. Also no marriage for William Martin and Mary McDonald has been found in Muhlenberg, though that does not mean their marriage did not take place in Muhlenberg, simply that the record is missing. The 10-year time span between the birth of Jefferson M.D. and William D. suggest that there are other Martin children yet to be discovered.

McConnell, Robert & Rosanna

Lt. Robert McConnell and his wife Rosanna were the parents of Margery McConnell Sharp, wife of Capt. James Sharp. Robert's will, of 1771 in Franklin Co., lists his children. Children of Robert & Rosanna McConnell: •Robert McConnell •James McConnell •John McConnell •Susanna McConnell married a Mr. Boyd •Margery McConnell married Capt. James Sharp •daughter not named, married an Alex McConnell, probably a cousin •Jane McConnell, married a Robert McConnell, probably a cousin

These families were members of the Rocky Springs Church, Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pennsylvania, same as the Culbertson and the Cessna families were also from this area.

Notes: Other McConnells: There was an early settler into Muhlenberg named John Henry McConnell. His daughter, Jane McConnell, was married to Col. S.P. Love in 1849, per Otto A. Rothert's 1913 History of Muhlenberg, page 328.

At Nelson Creek Cemetery, there is a Nancy McConnell “Our Mother, b. May 9, 1796, d. _____[possibly 1873], Relict of John McConnell”. The 1850 census shows Nancy McConnell, age 52. The marriage records for the county shows John McConnell married Nancy Davis on December 24, 1821. Living in the household of Nancy McConnell in 1850 was a F. Davis, female, aged 82.

In 1817, a James McConnell married a Fannie Davis, most likely a sister to Nancy Davis. The 82-year-old F. Davis was most likely their mother.

There was a Robert McConnell also in the county but cannot locate him in other documents. Contributed by Cheryl Cessna
