I'm just starting to research my Grandparents Agnes Mary McDermott's and William McConnell's families. They were both born in about 1866, grew up near and were married on July 12, 1892 in New Melleray(Bernard). Her parents are thought to be Mary Kane and William McDermott. In the 1850 Dubuque Co. census, James and Pricilla McDermott (Prairie Creek Twp) had a son William of about the right age, born about 1840. I'm now trying to track down his wife's name through some of the county land deeds.
His parents were Charlotte Bieshay(sp?) and either Frank or John McConnell per different family sources. I did find a John "McConaell", son of Patrick and Catherine "McConaell" in the 1850 census living two farms away from James McDermott & family with the Whites in between. John was reportedly born in Canada about 1845 as were his older
siblings, James, Mary and Patrick. His parents were born in Ireland. I can find no other reference to the above surname and wonder if it could be a mis-spelling of McConnell. I am still looking for a Frank McConnell born about 1840-45 in the area.
The Eliza & Reason D. McConnell family (formerly of OH/PA) were also in Dubuque Co.(Center & Jefferson Twps) starting about 1841-43.The 1850 census lists five sons; Elihu, Joseph, James, Reason E. and Samuel.
I would be very interested in discussing any related information that anyone may be able to share regarding these families.
Best regards,Bob
