Subject: [PALANCAS-L] McConnell/Willson, Strasburg Twp, 1750s
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 12:35:39 EDT


Arthur McConnell and Elisabet Willson, both of Strasburg Township were married
at Trinity Lutheran in Lancaster, 11 Nov 1754. Seems odd to have two Scotch-
Irish names married Lutheran, but I gather the Presbyterians were in other
townships then. This couple was in the Juniata Valley sometime later, but
were run out in an Indian raid, probably 1763; possibly they returned to the
civilization of Lancaster.

Do tax lists, associators lists, or some sort of census substitutes exist for
Strasburg Twp in the mid 1700s? Anybody ever heard of this couple? Possibly
his father's name was George McConnell.
