I was born on the 22nd of May, 1832; hence, I was about ten years and four months old when my grandUfather, Manuel McConnell, died. I remember him very well. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and, drew a pension from the year 1833 to the time of his death. I have in my possession a copy of his application for a pension. In that he was required to state what rank he had, whether private or officer, what captain and colonel he served under, and to state the engagements he was in. He specified the battle of the Cowpens and the Siege of Ninety-Six, and that he served under Lieutenant Benj. Lawrence, Captain McCall, Captain Moses Little, CapUtain Richard Hurd, and under Colonel Pickens of South Carolina, Colonel Washington, Colonel Lee and Colonel James Jackson of Georgia. These services ran from May, 1780, to August, 1782. He gave as his residence at the time of his enlistment, Abbeyville District, South CaroUlina, with his father, but does not state his name. The Washington referred to, was Colonel William WashUington, a distant relative of General George WashingUton, and, the Lee, was Colonel Henry Lee, known as Harry Lee, or, "Light Horse Harry." This Lee was the father of the great Confederate General, Robert E. Lee. My grandfather was an old man, when I first re collect him. He was eighty-five years old when he died, and he must have been seventy-nine or eighty years old when my recollection of him commenced. He was a slender man,-little above medium height, with dark eyes and remarkably fine, regular features. In his young days he was undoubtedly, a handsome man. He said, they called him a "pretty boy" when a child. He had a certain seat in the corner which was a split bottomed chair with a sheepskin on it. He was a great hand for pets. I especially remember a rooster, that used to sit on his knee, and at his word of command, would crow. I was very spare-made and thin, as a small boy, and he used to call me "spider."
I have heard my grandfather talk more about the services he rendered under General Francis Marion than under any other officer. He was in many skirmishes, was captured once, and escaped while crossing a creek on a foot log. On one occasion, he told about the soldiers spreading their blankets on the floor of a bridge to deaden the noise of taking their horses across, so that the enemy, camped near, could not hear them.
I have heard him describe the battle of the Cowpens often, exactly as it is given in this book. He was in Washington's Charge upon the British Battery, and the dragoons upon the British right flank, at the time of the personal encounter between Washington and TarUleton.
He belonged to the Continental line, was twenty Utwo years old when he enlisted. His wife, Martha ArmUstrong, was a South Carolinian. Her father had three; brothers who were in the Revolutionary Army, but he was a cripple and unable to serve.
My great grandfather died when my grandfather was a small boy. After his father's death, his uncle, Tom Ward, became his custodian; in what capacity I do not know. An arrangement was made between Tom Ward and John Posey and others to move to South Carolina. When the party left, Ward remained behind for some purpose, but was to follow later. He was killed by a cannon-ball. I find this in memoranda, which I got from my mother about the year 1883, and which i remember as being talked of in the family, preUsumably, this was in an action, during the French and Indian War which .was flagrant at that time,-the treaty of peace having been made in 1763. My grandfather never lived with his own people again. His mother afterUwards married Mr. Acock. From this union there was born a daughter, Sarah. My grandfather never had any full brothers or sisters. When he speaks of living with his father at the time of his enlistment, he undoubtedly meant, his father by adoption. It is legendary history, well established in the family, that this adopted father did not treat him kindly and he ran away from home when a boy, but must have returned again.
I have before me an old document, bearing date 17th day of August, 1784. This instrument has been in the possession of my brother, W, E. McConnell, ever since our Uncle James died. Grandfather died at his house. All his papers were left with Uncle James. My brother was connected with the administration of his estate, and, received this instrument in that way. It contains a plat of a piece of land of two hundred acres, situated in Wilkes County, Georgia, on Scull Creek. I find from examining the map, that there are several counties beUtween Scull Creek and Wilkes County. This means that new counties have been made, and at the time the survey was made, the locality of the land was Wilkes County. There is a certificate attached to the.plat. It reads, in part, as follows:
"Pursuant to a warrant from under the hand of the Honorable Absalom Bedell, Esq., Senior justice, preUsiding at the Land Court, held in Wilkes County, dated the l0th day of August, 1784, was surveyed for Newel McConnell, who resides in this state, a tract of land conUtaining two hundred acres, etc." It winds up, as folUlows: "Surveyed the 19th day of August, 1784," and certified by Samuel Criswell, by John Furges, Deputy Surveyor, and signed T. McCall, Surveyor General. It has a wax seal attached by a tape string.
I have also a tax receipt, which came into my posUsession the same way as above described. It begins, "Received of Emanuel McConnell, Etc. I have another receipt obtained the same way, which begins as follows "Received October 19th, 1795, of Newel McConnell, etc."
I know of no explanation of these changes of names. My recollection is, that he was sometimes called EmUmanuel, when I knew him. I had some doubt as to whether his name was Manuel or Emmanuel until I got a copy of his application for a pension. In that it is plainly written, Manuel. He did not write his name in the documents above referred to. They were written by others. I take it, that Newel must have been a nickUname, by which he was familiarly known. There can be no question about his being the identical person deUscribed in these papers.
My father was born in 1797, in the State of Georgia. He could barely recollect the fact of moving to TenUnessee. I have heard him say the only thing that he recollected distinctly, was crossing a river.
This change of residence from Georgia to Tennessee, could not have been later than 1803. My grandfather bought a farm on the waters of Bear Creek. The country, at the time he settled there, was, largely an almost impenetrable canebrake. There were plenty of bears, rattlesnakes, copperheads, and, other venomous reptiles. The country abounded with wild turkeys. It was certainly a huntUer's paradise. Tennessee was the state in which David Crockett became famous as a bear hunter. When my father married he bought an adjoining farm. His brother John A. McConnell, also bought an adjoining farm. These lands were very rich.
He was a Revolutionary Soldier and drew a pension from 1833, to the time of his death, his pension application stated that he was in the "Battle of the Cowpen" and the "Seige of Ninty-Six", and that he served under Lt. Benjamin Lawrence, Capt. McCall, Capt. Moses Little, Capt. Richard Hurd and under Col. Pickens, of South Carolina, Col. Washington, Colonel Lee, as well as Col. James Jackson, of Georgia.
