Augusta S. ROGERS and Andrew B. McCONNELL - NY and IL
Looking for information on my GG-Grandparents: Augusta Salisbury ROGERS and Andrew Brindley (A.B.) McCONNELL.
Augusta Salisbury ROGERS was b. c1826 in (Manhatten Island??) New York. Her mother's name was Mercy (Unknown maiden name)... SALISBURY? Mercy was born in NY c1798 and both her parents were born in CT. I have found no information regarding Mercy's husband - and Augusta's father. Augusta married Andrew Brindley ("A. B.") McCONNELL on 10 September 1843 in Eaton Township, Madison County, NY. They moved to IL with many McCONNELL family members and settled on a farm near Springfield, Sangamon County, IL before the birth of their first child in 1845. Augusta died at their farm on 3 May 1878. She is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois.
Andrew Brindley (A. B.) McCONNELL was born 28 January 1819 5 miles south of Morrisville, Madison County, NY to James McCONNELL and Sarah S. SMITH. His parents emigrated from Northern Ireland in 1811. He was a successful farmer and sheep raiser and was very active in the agricultural community of the time. A. B. died 26 Dece,ber 1904 on their farm near Springfield, Sangamon County, IL. He is also buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield.
Augusta has been one of my brick walls. I would really appreciate any information re her and her ROGERS and / or SALISBURY family of origin. I do not know if her mother, Mercy, was a SALISBURY before her marriage. I would also like to find a marriage document for Augusta and A.B. Where might I locate a marriage license / certificate from 1843 in Madison County, NY?
