PERMISSU SUPERIORUM
186 CENTENARY OF ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH
The St. Lawrence farming district was formerly called Glen Connell. General
McConnell, of revolutionary memory, a resident of Philadelphia, Pa., possessed
June 1794, a large tract of land in what is now Chest Township and about one
mile west of St. Lawrence. On an elevated spot of this land with an eastern
exposure, which commanded a grand view of the surrounding country, Mrs. Ruth
McConnell, the widow of the General's son Matthew, built about 1818, a
magnificent mansion on the road leading to Carrolltown, and called her home Glen
Connell. The doors, windows, etc., were brought from Philadelphia. Almost all
traces of this mansion have disappeared from the Swope sisters estate. The
windows in this mansion were used by Aloysius Swope in building there a new
residence which was destroyed by fire in November 1927. At the time it was
occupied by Marcellus Swope.
Note: the article is incorrect, Ruth Hall was the widow of Captain Matthew McConnell.
