John McConnell Jr was the first child of John and Nancy Montgomery McConnell. He was born in the Waxhaw settlement during the Revolutionary War in which his father was fighting. Only 11 days after his birth, his father was captured, imprisoned, and sentenced to be hanged. Then John Jr. contracted black smallpox and it was feared he would die.
However, his mother had survived smallpox years before, and through her nursing he survived. While he was still ill with the disease, his father escaped from the sentenced hanging and from prison and took his small family to the snow covered mountains of South Carolina to escape the British. They stayed in hiding in the mountains for over a year until his father could rejoin Col. William Bratton.
After the Revolutionary War, the John Sr. took his family to Georgia. finally settling in Elbert County, Georgia. It was there that John Jr met his wife, Anna Townsend. They married in Elberton in 1800 when John Jr. was 19 and Anna was 15.
John and Anna's parents and other relatives had moved on to Jackson County (later Hall County), Georgia in the late 1700's and John and Anna followed in 1806.

After the war John Jr. began acquiring land until he owned a considerable amount. Both John Sr and Jr were known as millwrights and they built a prosperous mill on the Walnut River.
When Hall County was created in 1818, John Jr was elected deputy sheriff and next elected as sheriff. He also was elected as Justice of Inferior Court. He served until moving to Cherokee County in 1832 when that area was opened to settlement soon after finding gold in the area. After the new territory was divided into Counties, John Jr was elected as a Justice of the Inferior Court.
John Jr was part of the start of one of the first schools in Cherokee County, the Hickory Flat Academy, and the McConnells were founding members of the Hickory Flat Presbyterian Church as it was later known.
