Descendants of James Connor

Generation No. 1

1. JAMES¹ CONNOR was born Abt. 1800 in Ireland, and died Unknown. He married CATHERINE (?) Abt. 1820 in Ireland. She was born Abt. 1800 in Ireland, and died Abt. 1871 in Trenton (?).

Notes for JAMES CONNOR:
I believe his name is James as all of the Connor daughters had a son by that name.

The name Patrick was on Ann's death certificate as her father. However, it read "Patrick Nolan" which we know is not correct.

As of 10/5/2003, I am researching ship manifests in an attempt to find this family's immigration.

Marriage Notes for JAMES CONNOR and CATHERINE (?):
Most of this section including the names of Ann's parents and siblings are supposition at this point (11/2000). Most of this information comes from a deed dated October 16, 1883 where property inherited from Catherine Connor was transferred by Patrick Connor & his wife, Margaret, Thomas Crawford and his wife, Margaret (all of Trenton on 2/26/1872) and James O'Brien and his wife, Bridget (of Brooklyn,NY). On 10/16/1883, Matthew Dugan and his wife Ellen of Trenton and Eliza Conroy and her husband, John of Millvale, Pa (Allegheny County) transferred their rights for $1 to Ann Connor. This property on Pennington Avenue was originally conveyed to Catherine Connor by deed dated 10/28/1860 from Edward M. Scudder.

A Catherine Connor also acted as godmother to both Catherine and Martin Nolan, children of Ann and Martin. This may be either Ann's mother or another sister but I suspect it is her mother. Additionally, on Ann's death certificate her mother's name is listed as "Kate Conners". I have hunted everywhere for Catherine Connor but no one fits her age in any of the census records.

Children of JAMES CONNOR and CATHERINE (?) are:

2.	i.		ANN² CONNOR, b. Abt. 1828, Carlow (?) Ireland; d. August 29, 1884, Trenton, NJ.
	ii.		PATRICK CONNOR, b. Unknown, Ireland; d. Unknown; m. MARGARET; d. Unknown.

Notes for PATRICK CONNOR:
Although the deeds for Catherine Connor indicate that Patrick lived in Trenton, I have been able to find him in any census records. A Patrick Connor appears in the City Directory in 1857 as a laborer at 105 Broad. After that there are two Patrick's.

Marriage Notes for PATRICK CONNOR and MARGARET:
They lived in Trenton, NJ but probably not inside the city limits as they do not appear in any city directories

3.	iii.		MARGARET CONNOR, b. 1835, Ireland (Carlow?); d. November 01, 1893, Trenton.
	iv.		BRIDGET CONNOR, b. Unknown, Ireland; d. Unknown; m. JAMES O'BRIEN; d. Unknown.

Marriage Notes for BRIDGET CONNOR and JAMES O'BRIEN:
They lived in Brooklyn, New York

4.	v.		ELLEN CONNOR, b. 1832, Ireland; d. May 10, 1905, Trenton.
5.	vi.		ELIZA CONNOR, b. Abt. 1829, Ireland; d. Unknown.
