Hi Elizabeth,
I enjoyed reading over the post here & wanted to throw in my Elizabeth McConnell who maybe born around 1805-
the 1850 census of Hancock co VA list her age 40 b in VA, 1860 age 52 b in PA, 1870 65 b in VA.
Her death cert signed by her husband Samuel Ralston- says She died Oct 2, 1874 at 72 yrs of Typhoid fever, buried at the Three Springs cemetery near Weirton, Hancock co WV-
her tombstone says she died in 1875 age 70 years- same stone as her husband who died in 1881, not sure if stone could have been make then & wrong date added on her death date?
I think Elizabeth & Samuel married about 1817- 1825,
~1st daughter Barbara was age 33 in 1850 census so b. abt 1817 ? (dates don't work if born in 1805 she would be abt 12 then?)listed as widow of William GOW in Samuel's will in 1881, have a obit on her no date of death but she had married a Mr. ? Gardener/ Gardner & had a ?brother in law named James Gow listed in OBit.
~dau Martha Jane b. 1825 m Robert Osborne Oct 1850
~son Alexander b. Sept 17, 1826 My GG* m Rachel Whitson, 2nd Mary Harmine Wright in 1881,
~dau Margaret b. 1830 married Samuel Smith
~Son Samuel b. 1832 maybe died in 1857 bd at Three Springs
~son James b. 1836 was not listed in 1860 near family?
~dau Eliz born 1837 was 23 in 1860 census- lost after that?
~son William b. Sept 23 1838 married Elizabet hOwings d. Sept 1925 have his d. cert.
~son George W. born 1839 or July 1840 m Mary ?
~son Francis b. 1842 m Susanah Campbell d. 1929
Brooke co VA was formed from Ohio co VA
so keep my Elizbeth in mind while researching this area.
I haven't a clue on her parents but there are several McConnells in records around there, A James McConnell & Ruth Wilcoxen wife buried at the Three Springs cem, & a Mary McConnell married into the Tarr family of Kings creek.
A William McConnell in early census of Brooke,
& a Elizabeth McConnell in early census older lady,
some info on the list before- still digging,
thanks & HAppy Trails on your searching
