General Notes: Husband - Daniel McConnell


When yet a young man he came to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he married his wife. To them were born four sons and several daughters. The first three of their sons were married to sisters: Samuel, the oldest of the three McConnell brothers, married Violet, the youngest of the three Whiteside sisters, while Hugh, the youngest of the brothers married Rebecca, the oldest of the sisters. David McConnell married Martha Whiteside, who in order of birth was the third of the five daughters of Thomas and Margaret (Porter) Whiteside. In respect to church connection the McConnells were seceders of the old type, while the Whitesides were Presbyterians. In those days this difference was regarded as a very substantial matter, and the parents of the respective contracting parties, in each case, objected to the marriage on that account, but in each case the marriage took place in spite of such objection.

He was a member of a Lancaster County company of Associators during the American Revolution and was elected court-martial man from his company.
