I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Unlike serious researchers such as yourself, I took this up as a hobby, and out of curiosity have continued but rarely took my own notes or set up trees. To tell you the truth, I think an underlying motive in my hobby is the need to exercise my brain, specifically my memory. Grandma Hester died of Alzheimer's disease, and I remember how it affected her and Grandpa Harry and the whole family. She by the way spelled her maiden name Honchell but I've since found out it was changed from Haunschell or Houndshell.

On to the McConnell's, which I'm obviously well connected to:

This is info I gleaned on Joseph Deshea McConnell from the website:

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyrobert/family/mcconnell.html . This website is set up in an unusual fashion. I only today read down to the end where Rankin and Lindsay names appear. The dates and origins, birthplaces are suspect but perhaps you have already cleared all this up. If you look at this website and go to the "Home" icon at the bottom of the page you'll find short histories of the Miller, McConnell, and even Hester families in Robertson county, Ky. Grandpa Hester was not mentioned but he lived at the north end of the small county and my mother's Millers were and are in the southeast end of the county. Harry Hester and my grandpa Carl Miller both did some restoration work on the covered bridge that borders our farm, currently being run by Carl's sons Carl D. Miller and Larry T. Miller.

4. Joseph Deshea McConnell,
born November 06, 1820 in Bourbon Co.,Kentucky; died January 14, 1899 in Kentontown,Ky..
He was the son of 8. Robert McConnell and 9. Nancy Clemmens.
He married 5. Nancy J. Lattimer.
born 1822 in Grant Co.,Ky; died Abt. 1907.
She was the daughter of 10. James B.Lattimer and 11. Mary (Polly) Johnsonton.

Notes for Joseph Deshea McConnell:
1850 Grant County,Ky shows him 29, Farmer w/300 acreas, born in Kentucky.
His mother Nancy is 70 and living with them.
A Pioneer called his Reward.
Elder Joseph McConnell died at home, five miles west of Mt.Olivet,Robertson County,Ky. January14,1899, 78th year of his age.
"Uncle Joe" ( was commonly known) was born in Bourbon County,Ky. Nov.6,1820,and when a small boy moved with his father to

Colemansville, Harrison County.
His father being a worldly man, engaged in the whiskey business and his place was resort for Sabbath breakers,where such

characters met and spent their Sundays in drinking and playing cards.
Therefore, Uncle Joe grew up under the worst of influences and in his younger days was also wicked.
3 He married April 20,1843, to Miss Nancy P, Lattimer Elder J. Lattiimer ,father of the bride ,officiating. He moved after his marriage to Pendleton County and united with the

Christian Church at Knoxville .
He was immersed by Eld. Solomon Pervin about the year 1845; was chosen Elder of the Knoxvile congregation in 1846 and

ordained a minister of the gospel by the same congregation in 1847, He was devout Christian and faithful minister of the

gospel for more than fifty years.
He lived at different places in Kentucky ,and in 1865 moved to Versailles ,Ripley County,Indiana, where he remained two

years, than moved back to Kentucky on the farm where he spent remainder of his life.
He was a very earnest preacher ,always presenting the gospel in it's primitive simplicity.
It was told at one time he had taken by the hand ,led into the water and immersed more than 7,000 converts ,several of whom

became minsters,one of whom was Elder Jesse Hughes of Kansas City Missouri. He orgranized several churches during his

ministry, and was known by many minsters in Kentucky and eleswhere. He was invalid for several years,but continued to preach

when his health would admit it. He was made a Freemason in 1859..

This William Thomas McConnell was the father of our Hester McConnell. By the way, my grandfather Carl Miller used to tell me about his grandparents who went all the way to California in a horse and wagon, and even pulled the outfit through one of the ancient redwood trees that had a road built through it. This was no doubt the William McConnell mentioned in your website who was found in Merced CA. They later moved back to Kentucky. My great grandfather Pete, who I knew as a youngster, and his wife Hettie went to housekeeping on W.T. McConnell's place in Kentontown. W.T. was a good carpenter, and made a living mostly building caskets for the community. My great uncle Thelbert Miller chauffered them around in their horse and buggy in their later years. This was probably where he became connected with the funeral business, which he later worked in until a few years ago, even helping out with my brother's and mother's funerals. He died in February of this year at the age of 96.
