1790 Census, Iredell Co., NC
1 M 16+ (Alexander), 3 M 0-16 (Walter, Robert, William).
2 F (his wife Catherine & daughter Anne).
Alexander McConnell and Catharine Boyd
In the first mention of this Alexander McConnell, he was assessed as a poll (at least age 16) in the tax lists for 1772, or just after his father died; his listing places him in what became Iredell Co. just east of Statesville, where his father lived along Bell's Branch. In 1778, he was assessed for property worth 682 pounds in then-Rowan Co., but later Iredell Co., NC. Both listings place his birth around 1757. The same 1778 tax list notes his older half-brother William, who had slightly less taxable property.
Alexander did not fight in the Revolution, but made supplies available for "the continental line," according to payment vouchers for companies mustered out of the Salisbury District of North Carolina. The continental line was the new nation's regular army, as opposed to the state militias.
Legal records of Rowan County persistently mention William, Alexander, Archibald and later John as neighbors and in common entries and all but Archibald are shown as such in the 1790 census. Archibald had moved to Bourbon Co., KY c. 1787.
In 1778 Alexander already owned property, perhaps an inheritance from his father, because he had been taxed on land that year (only the value has survived) and his acreage was adjacent to a 1780 state grant for Nathan Todd on Little Dutchman's Creek.
Alexander married Catharine Boyd (c. 1761-1826/30) on Feb. 18, 1782 in Iredell Co., N.C. with her brother John Boyd as bondsman and County Clerk Adlai Osborn as witness for the license.
Alexander on Nov. 4, 1784 received a state grant of 670 acres, at a cost of 310 shillings, on the south side of Little Dutchman's Creek in a fork of the Yadkin River; this grant probably included his earlier land grants. His neighbors there were Nathan Todd, Robert Holmes, Richard Fleming and David Woodson, the guardian of Alexander's brother John.
He and Catharine inherited more Iredell Co. land, about 200 acres along Trumpet Creek, when her father Robert Boyd died in 1793 near Nashville.
In the 1790 federal census the first Alexander, Catharine and a female of unknown age (daughter Anne) were in a northern Iredell County, N.C. household near the Yadkin River along with three males under age 16 and a slave. (Most of the early McConnells were minor slaveholders.)
Iredell County probate documents show Alexander fathered at least seven children by Catharine: Anne (1783/4), Walter (1784), Robert Boyd or Bowman (1787), William (1789), Elizabeth, John (1794), and Mary Ann "Polly" (1798).
Alexander died on Aug. 9, 1798, a relatively young man and prosperous farmer, likely in his early 40s. According to Oct. 12, 1798 court minutes, four men set aside the farm's "corn, wheat and barley, seven head of hogs (and) one beef" to last widow Catharine and the children for one year.
On Aug. 3, 1800, the Iredell County Court of Pleas granted guardianship of the minor heirs to Hugh Andrews, Catharine and John McConnell, the brother of Alexander.
In the 1800 census, Catharine is shown as the head of the household. The farm totaled 820 acres with several outbuildings and one slave.
In August 1807, Alexander's heirs and their guardians petitioned the court to divide the land, and this process would continue through 1821. Walter seems to have migrated first, selling his share of 81 acres on the south side of Dutchman's Creek for $243 to uncle James Holmes on Dec. 14, 1807, or after Walter had moved to Williamson Co., TN (before Maury existed).
Holmes also bought 80 acres from Alexander's daughter Anne and her husband on Dec. 26, 1811. The 1815 tax list shows 570 acres remaining in the heirs' names; on Sept. 4, 1821, with William McConnell acting as attorney, the heirs completed the sale of 420 acres to the same Holmes along Dutchman's Creek. The disposition of the inherited Boyd land on Trumpet Creek is unknown.
See wife Catherine for 1800 census.
Hi Mary:
Yes, I am a descendant of Alexander McConnell m. Catharine Boyd:My line is Alexander McConnell, Robert Bowman McConnell, Robert Henry McConnell, Homer McConnell, Harry D. McConnell, Howard McConnell, Kathleen McConnell Anderson. Do you have any information on Alexander and William's parents? I believe Alexander m. Catharine Boyd had a son, William, b. 1789.
Thanks for your reply.
Kathleen
McConnell died intestate in Iredell before Aug. 21, 1798 when Catherine McConnell and Burgess Gaither were granted letters of administration under 500-pound bond. His heirs were Walter, Robert, William, Elizabeth, John and Polly McConnell, and his daughter Anna Johnson, wife of Jeremiah Johnson. (Lois M.P. Schneider, Inventory of Estate, Iredell Co., NC, 1788-1915). An inventory of his estate showed that he was a slaveholder

[31201] The 1850 census looks like Ellen and an LDS record interprets that record as Ellen. However, the name is Chloe although it is hard to read and I can see how it could be interpreted as Ellen.
