General Notes: Husband - Alexander McConnell
He was born December 29, 1816. [HWC 1882, 719]
When but three years of age he came with them to Cecil township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and when he was nine years of age, the parents settled on the home place in North Strabane township, where Alexander completed his education in the subscription schools. He learned the trade of a millwright, and in 1847 came to Chartiers township, erecting a flouring-mill known as McConnel's Mill, on Chartiers creek, which business he followed fifteen years, also working at his trade.
He owned a fertile and well-cultivated farm of 230 acres, and, after coming to Chartiers township, devoted his time to its improvement and management. He was formerly a Whig, but after the organization of the Republican party voted the latter ticket, and served four terms as township supervisor. He and his wife were earnest members of the United Presbyterian Church at Cross Roads, in which he was a ruling elder for many years. In his youth Mr. McConnel joined the Spear Spring Church, later known as the Greenside Church.
