From Wikipedia:
McConnell Springs is a twenty-six acre natural areas park located at the historic springs where the city of Lexington, Kentucky was named.
McConnell Springs is historically and environmentally significant to this area. The central historic event which marks McConnell Springs place in history is the naming of Lexington. William McConnell and his party of kinsmen and companion surveyors, explorers and would-be settlers established a small camp in this area in June 1775. The group named their camp "Lexington" in honor of one of the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in Lexington, Massachusetts. Four years later this name was adopted when founding their town. In the ensuing years the McConnell property changed hands several times with remnants of past use still visible throughout the park - including stone fences, a barn foundation, a small rock quarry, remains of an old dam and the foundation of an old creamery.
From the Memoirs by William Leavy
"The farms of the McConnells swept from South east to North west around Lexington.--
1. Alexr. McConnell's Settlement and pre-emption a mile and a half from town represented to me by a respectable citizen as originally 1000 acres a part of it containing 285 acres bought by my father of the hon. John Brown in the year 1801 was a portion of it on the S. east side of Curd's on Harrodsburgh Road but the greater part on the west side of the road and adjoining the Campbell's Maxwell's and Patterson's Surveys.
2. William McConnell, next, and a small part of his tract in town.
3. James McConnell adjoining him; and the two having a mill or 2 mills within a mile or 1/2 mile of town on the Town Fork of Elkhorn.
4. The farm of Francis McConnell extended eastward across Henry's Mill road and near to Russell's Road."
From First Land Court of Kentucky by Samuel M. Wilson (1871-1946).
Kentucky County, Sct
We do hereby certify that William McConnell, Senr is entitled to a settlement of Four Hundred acres of land in the District of Kentucky on account of Raising a Crop of Corn in the Country in the year 1776, lying on McConnells Run a branch of the North fork of the Elkhorn about half a mile below the Buffaloe Road including a large spring & his improvement-- He has already obtained a Certificate for his preempn.
The survey was as follows:
400 acres of land by virtue of an entry for settlement on February 3, 1780 lying on the waters of the South Fork of the Elkhorn River. This 400 acres of settlement land was next to 1000 acres of preemption land. The land was surveyed May 22,1783. The chain carriers were John Stevenson and James McConnell. Francis McConnell was the pilot marker. The survey was certified by Thomas Marshall.
Given under our hands at St. Asaph this 24th day of April 1780.
Willm Fleming, Stephen Trigg, Edmund Lyne
Then: "I assign over all my right and title of the Within Certificate to John May for Value Rec'd. Given under my hand and seal May 2nd 1780." John Maxwell (seal) for William McConnell, senr.
Note: there was a title dispute where it was claimed this could not be an original since the courthouse burned in 1803. Others claimed it was a legal copy that had been made after the fire.
Per William Leavy in his Memoirs.
"knew very well Wm. McConnell's daughter Mrs. George Robinson [Martha Patsy McConnell], who owned the farm a Stone dwelling house on it 1 mile from town on north Eastern side of the Rail road, afterwards owned by Benijah Bosworth and his widow. Wm. McConnell was one of the first Trustees of Lexington."
