General Notes: Husband - Isaac Connely


He was a pioneer of Allegheny Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. He acquired a classical education and became a teacher of languages. Emigrating from Ireland in early manhood, he located at Philadelphia, where he kept the well-known Black Horse hotel on Market street between Fourth and Fifth during the Revolution, after which he removed to Centre County, where he engaged in merchandising, and thence in 1803 to Venango County, where he resided until his death. [HVC 1890, 1077]

He kept the "Black Horse" Inn, on Market Street between 4th and 5th streets, Pa., Archives, 3d Series, Vol. II, p. 966. This was the street on which George Washington lived and he knew him well. Washington presented him with a cane and a picture, painted in Ireland; these were later in the possession of his gr. gr. granddaughter, Mrs. E. F. Kerwick, of Portland, New York.
In all deeds signed by him he wrote his name Connely, but many of his descendants spell it Connelly.
