JOHN CONN -- SAMUEL'S DAD -- CHER. GA
Posted by: charlotte Scales Date: June 22, 2000 at 01:46:55
  of 1742

HELLO,

My name is Charlotte and I am a direct descendant of Samuel Conn married to Elizabeth Ingram. I have read numerous posts requesting the siblings and parents of Samuel Conn. I hesitated to post this; however, maybe if all of us put our research together we can get the hard cold proof. I have some of it now. I have John Conn's will as quoted below:

"Be it known unto all men by these presants, that I John Conn of the State of Georgia, have made and declared that my last will & testament in writing bearing date July the third eighteen hundred, declare, confirm and ratify my said last will and do give & bequeath unto John Conn of & my will & meaning is that this codiel or schedule be returned & adjudged to be part or parcel of my said will & testament, & that all things therein contained & mentioned be faithfully performed in a full & ample a manner in every respect as if the same were so declared & set down in my said will -- in witness whereof I the said John Conn have hereunto set my hand & seal, Simon Conn, my son has received his share, and also Samuel Conn has received his share - John Conn & Thomas Conn & Isaac Conn are to divide the land equally between them, & to maintain my widow Elizabeth Conn during her life or widowhood, Caty Martin, my daughter has received her share and likewise, Peggy Murphy has received her share, Janie Conn & Mary Conn & Agnes Conn my goods & chattels are to be equally divided between John Conn & Thomas Conn & Isaac Conn, Janie Conn & Mary Conn & Agnes Conn -- this given under my hand & seal & my widow is to have all the my house & goods at her pleasure.

Test John Conn (Seal)
William Hamilton

(Daniel Beall)
Present (Russel Jones) Esquires

The honorable court of Ordinary for the county of Franklin.

The following notes were extracted from 200 years of family notes handed down. I have not set about to obtain the proven facts as of yet; however, the will does mention the same children as are in the family notes.

1) John Conn B. 1750
