Notes for: Margaret ("Margery") Agnes McConnell
From Cheryl Cessna:
My Robert [Cessna] is believed to have been a brother to Sallie "Sarah" Cessna. Sallie Cessna married James Sharp in 1802 in Muhlenberg Co. In researching the Sharp family and the Culbertsons, I was able to find a Joannah Culbertson, niece of my 4th gr granddad, John, had been married to a Robert Sharp. In tracking this family back to Franklin Co, [PA] I have found a Capt James Sharp, believed to have been the father of Robert. Capt James Sharp was married to a Margaret Agnes McConnell. Margaret was the daughter of a Lt. Robert McConnell and a Rosanna ?????, last name unknown.
The Will of Robert McConnell, of Letterkenny Township, dated July 27, 1771....mentions his sons, Robert McConnell, James McConnell, John McConnell, son-in-law, James Sharp (Margaret Agnes' husband), another son-in-law, Alexander McConnell, another son-in-law, Robert McConnell (more cousins marrying cousins!!) and another daughter who is referred in the will as "widow Boyd". I have a document that lists a Copy of Indenture, dated Dec 7th, 1774 between Capt James Sharp and Agnes his wife of Letterkenny Township, Cumberland Co (that became Franklin Co). Robert McConnell is buried at Rocky Springs Church graveyard in Franklin Co....b. 1702, d. 1777. Rosannah died in 1790 (1770). Near her grave there is a Donald McConnell, who died July 29, 1776, age 75. This is possibly a brother to Robert.
