Descendants of George McConnell

Generation No. 1

1. George¹ McConnell¹ was born Abt. 1728 in Scotland¹, and died 1793 in ,Dauphin, Pa¹. He married (1) Eva Cornman¹. He married (2) Regina Grunewald¹ Abt. 1778¹.

Notes for George McConnell:
Came to America on brigantine "Nancy" in Aug. 1746.
Indentured to George Sanderson 12 Aug 1746 for 7 yr. to pay passage. Terms "aprentice" and "servant" in the indenture papers indicate a young adult without specific skills. This leads to a guess that, in 1746, he could have been as young as 15 or 16 and as old as 25 or 30. My guess is that he was born about 1728.

Early Pa. records spell family name - McConal, McCundel, Miggrundel, Miggundel,Megontel, Megondel, Megonnell, Meggonnell, Macgundel, McKondel, McHundel, McCudel, McConnal, McConal, McConnel,
McConald, McGonel , McGundel & Yundell

George Sanderson was 1st town clerk of Lancaster from 1742-43. Was assistant clerk 1757-58. He was also an Inn Keeper, farmer, coppersmith and owner of Negro slaves.

George McConnell lived near "The America House", the Inn of Caspar Schnebeli (Snavely). Later two sons of George McConnell married two daughters of Casper Snavely.

George signed his will May 8, 1793 and witnesses appeared in probate court August 30,1793.

George took the Oath of Alegience May 30, 1778. George McConnell received credit for Revolutionary service for hauling ammunition and on one occasion hauled arms for guards of prisoners.

Many people think that George McConnell and Barbara Kornman that married in Lancaster, Pa., September 2, 1766 are this George and Eva. I do not think that is correct.

Notes for David McConnell:
David McConnell is not mentioned in his fathers will in 1793. David would have been 10 or 11 years old. It can be assumed that he was not alive, as all the other children are mentioned except Elizabeth. Nancy is referred to as "youngest daughter" implying other daughter is living.
