Ruth Irving Conner - Poet - CT
I am not related to the Irving or Conner families; however, I own a signed copy of a book of poetry by Ruth Irving Conner titled "Set To My Hand and Other Poems" that I would like to see go to someone who is directly related to her.
I did a little checking on the internet and haven't found anyone tracking her family. However,I was able to locate Ruth on the 1920 and 1930 census. The infomation I have from the census is:
In 1920 and 1930 they resided in New London, CT. (Her book is autographed to a John E Tash/Lash/Tark/?? dated 1930 New London, CT)
Evidently Ruth's married name is Conner.(maiden name possibly Irving??); she was born about 1869 in CT (per census her Dad born Pennsylvania and Mom born New York)
Ruth's husband's name was David Conner bn about 1864 in NY (both of his parents listed as born in NY in 1920 and Dad listed born in NJ in 1930). Ruth's parents listed as David and Ruth had a daughter Ida. Ida was named in the dedication to Ruth's book; and Ida is living with David and Ruth in 1920 as Ida Griswold (age 33 bn CT; married). Ida is not with her parents in the 1930 census.
Does this family sound familar to anyone?
