William came with his father Adam and his brothers to the area called the Big Cove around 1743-1747. They were among the first pioneers in the area. The same location was referred to as McConnell's Cove. This area is now the location of McConnellsburg in Fulton County, PA. These first settlers were forcibly evicted from the area by the colonial government, with some of the group convicted of trespassing. They later returned and purchased land.
William McConnell is the co-founder of McConnellsburg, PA along with his brother Daniel. They had a warrant for the purchase of 150 acres where McConnellsburg is now located on June 10, 1762. His family had probably been farming this land for a number of years before 1762 since they first came to the area in the mid 1740s. The first public road through Fulton County was established by William McConnell in 1761. This road amounted to a bridle path from Cove Gap, through Larrabie's Gap to join Forbes Road near Breezewood, to McConnellsburg. Today Routes 16 and 30 (the Lincoln Highway) follow this early road.
In August of 1766 Jacob Shaler applied for 200 acres in Air Township bounded by William McConnale on the north and David Scots on the west.
William was the first justice of the peace for Bedford County, PA which was formed on April, 1771.
On November 17, 1772, William sold his farm to Alexander Alexander. The 280 acres he sold was in what is now Wells Township, it proved to be the best farm in Wells Valley. The description of this transaction was "William McConnell Esq., of Ayr Township, County of Bedford, do make over a certain Tract, lying in Aughwick Valley, about three miles from the Great Road on the top of Sideling Hill, about 280 acres, unto Alexander Alexander of Antrim Township, County of Cumberland, for the sum of 30 pounds. In the presence of Robert Scott and Hugh Alexander".
In the 1773 tax list in Ayr Twp, he was listed as William McConnal, Esq. He paid 4 pounds in taxes.
William moved to Westmoreland and from there moved on to Kentucky. William McConnell settled in Leestown, Kentucky along with his brother Andrew. Leestown is now part of Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, in Franklin County. They were there before at least since 1776 because both claimed preemptions for land that had to include living on land 12 months prior to 1778.
William McConnell's preemption and settlement claim is on page 148 of the Doomsday Book with the Kentucky Land Court:
http://apps.sos.ky.gov/land/doomsdaybook/doomsday%20book%20pgs%20145-152.pdf
Per his preemption claim with the Kentucky Land Court:
"William McConnell (appt [applicant represented by?]) of John Clark this day claimed a Settlement and Preempt to a tract of land in the District of Kentucky lying about 1 1/2 miles north of Colonel Shelby's land & west tract of land said to be claimed by David Perry [the land] includes a Sinking Spring, by residing in the Country 12 twelve months prior to 1778 satisfactory proof being made to the court that are of the opinion that the sd McConnell has the right to a settlement of 400 acres of land to include a preemption of 1000 acres adjoining & that Certificate was issued accordingly."
William was killed by Indians in the fall of 1780 while riding a canoe with his son James in a river in Kentucky. Sarah (McConnell) January, the daughter of Andrew McConnell was a niece of William McConnell. In an interview she described how her uncle William and cousin were killed. The "S." in this narrative stands for Station.
"Uncle and father raised no crop that summer at Spring S. In the fall (1780) my uncle attempted his remove up to Field's S., above Harrod's S. had but 2 sons. One, Adam, was yet in Pat., now at Xenia. The oldest, Jas:, was in the canoe, w. his f. Just buried him in the water, so that the indns: shodn't get his scalp. They had to leave the canoe. It was a wet rainsy morning, and they co'dn't get but that one gun off, or suppose all might have been killed. (Uncle Wm: was going up in a canoe, with 4 other men. He had removed his family, and part of his other things, to Field's S., near Harrod's S., or beyond there, and had come down, perhaps to Louisville, gotten a canoe, and was making his way round to Spring S., when 5 indns: that were concealed under a raft, shot Wm. McConnell, who was steering, in the head, and killed him, (In the fall of 1780, this.) I heard the gun that shot some men on the trace from Louisville. He was stranger to us. Suppose he must have been coming up. I was much alarmed, for my husband had started for the same place: but he hadn't (kept) the trace, and never heard the gun. I was down at one of the Springs at the time."
Some researchers believed that since Sarah stated that William "had but 2 sons" that that was the extent of his family. But she was talking about where William's sons were at the time he was killed so stating he had but two sons doesn't mean he had no daughters, it just means there were only two sons to account for in the narrative. If you look at the whole statement, Sarah is describing where everyone was at the moment William McConnell (d. 1780) was killed. James was with William in the canoe. Adam was at "Pat." I think "Pat" was how they described Pittsburgh. He was in the Pittsburgh area fighting in the Revolutionary War in a militia. He later provided testimony for others regarding their service in the Revolutionary War. William had moved his family to Field's Station. So at the moment he was killed, his two sons are accounted for and his family was at Field's Station. Since James was with him and Adam was in the Westmoreland County area. His wife and remaining family, which would mean daughters, since the two sons are accounted for, were at Field's Station.
Field's Station was in present-day Woodford Co., KY, per North American Forts at this website: http://www.northamericanforts.com/East/kycent1.html#woodford. I could not locate Spring Station.
William "Tanner" McConnell came to Kentucky in the Fall of 1780 and it may have been to help William McConnell's family after William had died. William "Tanner" McConnell, who was William's nephew, later claimed William McConnell's preemption under the name William McConnell, Jr.
James McConnell, William's oldest son, gave a deposition related to a deed, probably either for William's property or for the property of John Jolly, on August 14, 1806 in Bardstown, KY. An abstract of the deposition can be found in the book "Kentucky Court and other records II," on page 139. His deposition establishes that he was the brother-in-law of John Jolly, Sr., and that John Jolly, Sr. had been killed by Indians at the battle of Blue Licks in 1782. Since John Jolly was James McConnell's brother-in-law, this establishes that his sister was theJane McConnell who had married John Jolly around 1780. The deposition also mentions John Jolly, Jr., who in 1806 was living in Greene County, Ohio with his mother.
Some researchers have misidentified the James McConnell who gave the deposition and identified him as the son of a James McConnell (d. Wheeling, Ohio Co., VA in 1797) and his wife Sarah. Per his will, we know that James McConnell (d. 1797) did have a son named James McConnell. It has been speculated that he also had a daughter named Jane McConnell who married a John Jolly. However, there was no Jane McConnell in James McConnell's will. This Jane McConnell was supposed to have married a John Jolly who lived nearby to James McConnell and who was killed by Indians on June 8, 1790 in Wheeling, Ohio County, VA. However, there is no evidence that the John Jolly who was killed by Indians was married or that he had married a Jane McConnell.
James McConnell's (d. 1826) sister, Jane McConnell (b. 1762), did marry a John Jolly. James McConnell married a Jane Jolly, probably John Jolly's sister. This John Jolly was killed in Blue Licks and James McConnell was listed next to John Jolly in Blue Licks in a list of Blue Licks participants. James McConnell was present in the appraisal of John Jolly's losses for his horse and other equipment per records left by General John Rogers Clark. John Jolly's brother, David Jolly of Nicholas County, KY, also gave a deposition related to the same deed at Bardstown, KY in May of 1806. He stated that John Jolly's father was also named John Jolly. This is of interest to researchers of the Jolly family since it shows that John Jolly and his brother were probably descendants of the John Jolly married to Jane/Jean who wrote a will recorded on June 17, 1772 at Shrewsbury, York Co., PA. David Jolly also stated that he had come to Kentucky with John Jolly in 1780 and had helped him build a house. David Jolly also fought at the Battle of Blue Licks but had survived.
The known members of this family include:
James McConnell, b. about 1757 in Bedford Co., PA. He probably lived near Bardstown in 1806, since he gave his deposition in Bardstown, Nelson Co., KY. It is possible he had a son, Adam McConnell, who died in Gibson Co., IN.
Adam McConnell, b. about 1757 in Bedford Co., PA. He moved to Xenia, Greene Co., OH around 1805 and died there on April 23, 1841. He was the father of at least seven children.
Jane McConnell, b. about 1761 in Bedford Co., PA. After her husband John Jolly died in 1782, she remarried to David Torrence in 1785 and moved to Xenia, Greene Co., OH around 1805. She was the mother of 11 children.
Anne McConnell, b. 14 Dec 1764 in Bedford Co., PA. She married Solomon Lawrence and in 1806 she lived near Bardstown where James McConnell gave his deposition in 1806. She married Solomon Lawrence and after his death moved to Greene County, Ohio. One of her sons married a daughter of Adam McConnell in Greene Co., OH and another son married the daughter of a James McConnell in Greene Co., OH.
