The children of HENRY CONNELLY are:
1. HENRY CONNELLY, II, b. 1662.
2. THOMAS CONNELLY, b. 1665.
3. EDMUND CONNELLY, b. 1665.
4. JOHN CONNELLY, b. 1665.

Notes: From the book "Three Hundred Years In America With The Connely Clan" by Reginald Dowaine Conley: "Life in the New World began for the Connelley Clan with the arrival of four brothers from the Emerald Isle. Supposedly Edmund, Henry, John and Thomas emigrated from Armagh, County of Armagh, Northern Ireland, sometime about 1680-84. According to the Irish Genealogical Association of Northern Ireland the Connelley family was one to be proud of and was well established in the City of Armagh. Why they came other then seeking their fortunes in the colonies can only be surmised. At that time there was political and religious strife, throughout Ireland. they landed at Albemarle Point, South Carolina, which is in the vicinity of present day Charleston. Ten years before that in 1670 Englishmen established the first permanent white settlement here. In 1663, King Charles II granted Carolina to eight English noblemen called lords proprietors. The Connelley brothers were men of fortune and affairs; they obtained large grants of land from the proprietors and set about developing it. It is thought they were very instrumental in town building of Charleston. They did a lot of merchandising by land and sea and also traded extensively with the Creek and Cherokee Indians. The Connelleys were in the advance guard of spreading civilization throughout America and in a number of states were pioneers as experienced by Henry Connely, Jr. in Wisconsin, 1844.

"One of these brothers, Henry Connelley, born about 1656 in Armagh, Co. of Armagh, Northern Ireland married Sally Vaux Buckley who was born about 1660. They were married about 1684 in Charleston, South Carolina. To their union were born at least four sons: Thomas - 1686, Edmund - 1688, John - 1690 and Henry - 1692."

The child of HENRY CONNELLY and BETSY VAUX BUCKLEY is:
1. EDMUND CONNELLY, b. July 2, 1700, Charlestown, South Carolina, d. 1750, Guilford County, North Carolina.

Notes: From the book "Three Hundred Years In America With The Connely Clan" by Reginald Dowaine Conley: "Edmund Connelly married in South Carolina about 1710 a Mary Edgefield, daughter of Colonel Arthur Edgefield. The family Edgefield came from England and was prominent in South Carolina. To this marriage were born at least two sons; Harmon and Thomas Connelly. Thomas was born about 1725-27. Note that in recording the Connelly name has lost one 'e' from the Irish spelling.

"Not really much known about Harmon Connelly. He married a Hicks and moved to North Carolina where he had a large family of sons and daughters."

From the book "The Founding Of Harman's Station" by William Elsey Connelley: "Harmon Connelly moved to North Carolina, where he owned lands on the then frontier. Tradition says that he there married the daughter of a physician named Hicks. This Hicks, it is affirmed, had merried the daughter of a Scotchman who was engaged in trading with the Cherokees, and who had married a Cherokee woman; he seems to have roamed the country tributary to the Little Tennessee. Harmon Connelly appears to have been of an adventurous disposition, for it is related that he made several visits to the wilderness of Kentucky, one of which was about 1763."

The children of EDMUND CONNELLY and MARY EDGEFIELD are:
1. HARMON CONNELLY, b. 1722, South Carolina, d. 1794, m. MARY HICKS.
2. THOMAS CONNELLY, b. 1725, Charlestown, South Carolina, d. 1783, Guilford County, North Carolina, m. MARY VAN HARLINGEN.

Notes: In his book "The Founding of Harman's Station," author and noted historian William Elsey Connelley says that according to family tradition there were some Connellys, probably Thomas and his brother Harmon, in an exploration party in Eastern Kentucky about 1763 in search for a suitable place to live. Also in this party were Daniel Boone, Matthias Harman, Walter Mankins, James Skaggs, Henry Skaggs, and a number of others. They camped along the Louisa River, at the mouth of Big Paint Creek, for six weeks in some old decaying cabins that the Ohio Indians had said they and the French had built many years before. The river and creek bottoms were covered with cane that was so high it would hide a man on horseback. Sometimes the river was so full of buffalo wallowing in the shoals that it was impossible to get a canoe either up or downstream. The Indians were so fierce in the area that it was impossible for anyone from the party to locate there at that time.

Thomas was in the First South Carolina Regiment under the direction of Colonel Charles Pinckney during the Revolutionary War. He served in the winter of 1779-1780 in the defense of Charleston, which is where he had gone to consult Colonel Pinckney, who was his attorney in some business growing out of some land that was owned around that city by Thomas' ancestors. He was wounded during the Battle of King's Mountain on October 7, 1780, when he was about 55 years old. During the battle Thomas was shot by a musket ball that went completely through him. He was treated by a Dr. Hicks, who was either the father-in-law or the nephew of Thomas' brother Harmon. To treat the wound, Dr. Hicks passed a silk handkerchief through it - completely through Thomas' body - several times. Thomas died in 1783 as a result of this wound.

From the book "Three Hundred Years In America With The Connely Clan" by Reginald Dowaine Conley: "Thomas, who was born in Guilford County, North Carolina used to travel up North with his father, Edmund trading and then back to the Carolinas. He undoubtedly learned the trading business this way at an early age. And he was to meet his wife in Chester County, Pennsylvania where he resided for some time. He married Mary Van Harlingen about 1747. She was a Dutch woman whose ancestors lived in Holland. The Dutch influence was to have a strong impression upon their children. Their children and approximate year of birth are: John - 1749, Henry - 2 May 1751 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania (later to be known as Captain Henry Connelly), Thomas, Jr. - 1754, Elizabeth - 1757, Rachel - 1760, James - 1765, William - 1768.

"Thomas Connelly while in Pennsylvania fought under British General Braddock and young Lieutenant George Washington in their campaign against the French during the French-Indian War in Pennsylvania. At the time of the Revolutionary War Thomas was living in Guilford County, North Carolina (1775-83). In 1780 the British army was trying to capture Charleston, South Carolina. Thomas was on his way to Charleston to see his lawyer concerning some land that he owned in Charleston. When he arrived in the city he learned that the British were near and marching on the city. Although he was getting old he was inducted into the American Army which was commanded by General Lincoln. He served under Colonel Charles Cotesworth Pinckney in the First South Carolina Regiment. The British captured the city 12 May 1780. During the confusion Thomas escaped and later fought at the battle of King's Mountain on 7 October 1780. The battle of King's Mountain was an overwhelming victory for the Americans. The entire British force was killed or captured. During the battle Thomas was shot through the body by a British musket ball. A Doctor Hicks, who was half Indian and had graduated from a French University treated the wound by passing a silk hankerchief through it. About three years later in 1783 Thomas died from the wounds. Some family historians feel that he died and was buried in Christensburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. He owned land and property in Charleston, South Carolina, Guilford County, North Carolina and Montgomery County, Virginia at the time of his death. The name was being recorded in North Carolina and Virginia at this time on legal documents as Connelly, Connely, Conley, Conneley, Connoley and Coneley.

"William Elsey Connelley suggested and felt that the early Connelley brothers from Northern Ireland were of the Roman Catholic Religion. The author is not of this opinion. At the time the four Connelley brothers left Armagh there was a great deal of political and religious unrest. The First Presbyterian Church of Armagh was established in 1673. They came to a predominately protestant colony when arriving in the Charlston, South Carolina area. William of Orange married his cousin Mary in 1677. She was the daughter of James, Duke of York, later King James II of England. James was Roman Catholic. However William and Mary were both protestant. William and Mary became rulers of England in 1689 after forcing James to leave. He escaped to France. In 1690, William defeated James and a French and Irish army at the Battle of the Boyne, in Ireland. The Protestants of Ulster, Ireland, backed William, and are still called Orangemen today. William became a hero to the Protestants of Ulster. On Orange Day, July 12, Orangemen still celebrate his victory in the Battle of the Boyne. We find Thomas Connelly belonging to the Presbyterian Church until his marriage to Mary Van Harlingen in Pennsylvania. Then they became active in the Dutch Reform Church movement. They moved back to the Guilford County, North Carolina area. It is written that many of the Dutch Reform people joined the Lutheran and Presbyterian Churches when moving from the North down into the Carolinas. It shows in pension records that Captain Henry Connelly belonged to the Presbyterian Church up to the time he moved to Kentucky, where he became active in the Baptist faith. It appears that the early Connelley brothers were probably Presbyterian."

The children of THOMAS CONNELLY and MARY VAN HARLINGEN are:
1. DAVID CONNELLY, b. 1747, m. SUSANNAH (unknown last name).
2. JOHN CONNELLY, b. 1749, Guilford County, North Carolina, d. 1820, Orange County, North Carolina, m. ELIZABETH DONALDSON.

6. POLLY CONNELLY.

Notes: According to Dr. Michael Nestor of Kentucky: “Sampson Conley was apparently the brother of Joseph Conley, who lived in Greenup Co. Both Sampson and Joseph were prob brother of David, b. ca 1787, whose wife was Susannah. Sampson, Joseph, and David were listed closely in the Floyd Co. Ky tax lists. Joseph is listed frequently as a son of Capt Henry Conley, but this is solely due to someone years ago thinking that this Joseph had to be the same Joseph as Capt Henry’s son Joseph. However at that time no one knew that there was an older David in Floyd Co, probably Capt Henry’s brother, and there were a handful of Conley males: Abner, John, Carter, Sampson, David, and Joseph, who were closely associated on tax, census, marriage, and deed records. David who married Peggy Phillips was also a prob son of David, but has been misidentified as Capt Henry’s son, because Capt Henry’s son David H. was not recognized to exist by the early researchers, because David H. left Floyd Co. in 1842.

“Unfortunately there are no specific records to absolutely prove these relationships, and so deductive reasoning has to be used. One clan of Conleys lived on Middle Creek in Floyd Co, namely David (b. 1787), and the above mentioned likely sons. The other clan was Capt Henry and his sons David H., Edmund, John, and Thomas.”

The children of DAVID CONNELLY and SUSANNAH (unknown last name) are:
1. DAVID CONLEY, II, b. 1787, m. MARGARET "PEGGY" PHILLIPS.
2. SAMPSON CONLEY, b. 1792, Virginia, m. MARY "POLLY" SMITH.
3. ABNER CONNELLY, b. 1775-1880, m. ELIZABETH ROSE, August 8, 1811, Floyd County, Kentucky.
4. JOHN CONNELLY, b. 1775-1794.
5. JOSEPH CONNELLY, b. 1798, Virginia, m. SUSANNAH JONES, March 22, 1827, Floyd County, Kentucky.
6. CARTER CONNELLY, b. 1806, Kentucky, m. MARY POLLY CONLEY, February 22, 1821, Floyd County, Kentucky. She was b. 1802, North Carolina

(This information comes from Joseph Conley, Michael Nestor, and other sources)

Notes: John Connelly served as private in the North Carolina regiment commanded by Col. James Armstrong.

From the book "Three Hundred Years In America With The Connely Clan" by Reginald Dowaine Conley: "John Connelly, son of Thomas, born 1749, married Elizabeth Donaldson about 1769 in North Carolina. They had at least four children; William born about 1770, Sanford, Daniel and John. John Van Harlingen Connelly died around the year 1790. One of the most distinguished members of the family was Doctor Henry Connelly, late Governor of New Mexico, son of John Donaldson Connelly of Virginia, nephew of Captain Henry Connelly."

The child of JOHN CONNELLY and ELIZABETH DONALDSON is:
1. WILLIAM CONNELLY, b. 1770.

(This information comes from Joseph Conley and other sources)

The children of EDMUND CONNELLY are:
1. HARMON CONNELLY, b. 1775.
2. THOMAS CONNELLY, b. 1775.

Notes for Captain Henry Connelly: He was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and relocated to Guilford County, North Carolina as a young boy. His father, Thomas, traveled so much that Henry was raised by his grandparents, the Van Harlingens. This being the case, he developed their heavy Dutch accent. This accent stayed with him the rest of his life.

On July 7th, 1777, Henry joined the Colonial Army in North Carolina, where he achieved the rank of Captain in a cavalry unit. He commanded 100 men as State Troops of North Carolina, which were called "militia." His main concern was "keeping down" the Tories, and mainly a Tory by the name of Fanning. Tories were people who lived in this country but didn't support the Revolution. They instead fought on the side of the British.

Fanning was born in Johnston County, North Carolina, in 1754. It is said that he was born "of obscure parentage." He was raised in poverty and was eventually "bound out" for his support to a Mr. Bryant, who was a cruel and brutal master, and Fanning ran away when he was about 16. Some of his acquaintances found a home for him with a man by the name of John O. Deniell, who lived at the Haw Fields, in Orange County, North Carolina. Fanning had something called "scald head" and was not allowed to eat at the table with the family, nor was he permitted to sleep in a bed. After he was grown he always wore a silk cap and even his closest friends never saw his head uncovered. When he was about twenty years old he went to trade with the Catawba Indians, in South Carolina, and there he managed to acquire considerable property. Up to this time he had been a Whig. As he returned to North Carolina he was robbed of all his property by "some lawless fellows," whom he supposed to be Whigs. He immediately became a bitter and relentless Tory and sought every opportunity to wreak vengeance on Whigs indiscriminately and to injure the Revolutionary cause. He murdered, as he says, many patriots and burned their houses. He was bold and daring and captured the Governor of North Carolina whom he turned over to the British.

Fanning was a man of ability and the local leader of the Tories in the Carolinas. He was the man on whom the King's forces always relied and who never failed them. It was a distinct compliment to Captain Henry Connelly that he was selected to fight Fanning and keep him down, and he seems to have been able to cope with the daring Tory leader. Fanning said that many of his men were taken to Hillsboro and Salisbury and there hung by the "rebels" as he called the Revolutionary authorities. No doubt these prisoners were taken there by Captain Connelly.

The most famous battle that Captain Henry Connelly fought in was the Battle of Cowpens, on January 17, 1781. The Americans had been retreating from British forces and at a field outside of Spartanburg, South Carolina they made their stand. They fought among the fences and empty cow pens. The battle lasted a little more than an hour and eventually the British retreated, with a loss of over 100 troops. This was a major victory for the Americans and the beginning of the end of British rule here.

After the war Henry moved his family to Hager Hill, Kentucky, from North Carolina and this is where he lived the rest of his life. After his wife Ann died, Henry married Temperance Hitchcock. In 1833 he applied for a pension because he was a Revolutionary War veteran, which he was awarded. The attorney who made out the papers was Henry C. Harris, who had been the family attorney for a generation. In the files relating to the pension of Captain Connelly there is a letter written by Mr. Harris, in which he says:

"The old man is a Dutchman, and when I made out his statement I could scarcely understand everything he said."

This information was taken from various sources, one of which was the book "The Founding of Harman's Station" by William Elsey Connelley.

Notes for Ann MacGregor: According to William Elsey Connelley in his book "The Founding of Harman's Station," which was written in 1910:

The most famous clan in Scotland was that of MacGregor. It claims descent from Gregor, third son of King Alpin, who ruled Scotland about the year 787, and the clan is spoken of in Scotland as the Clan Alpin. The motto of the clan is "Srioghail mo dhream" - "Royal is my race."

Sir Walter Scott found more in the annals of the Clan MacGregor for his famous Waverley Novels than in the lore of all the other clans of Scotland. Rob Roy was Robert Roy MacGregor, and the novel of that name is an account of the adventures of that famous Borderer. In his "Legend of Montrose" Scott finds some of his most interesting characters among the Children of the Mist, who were the MacGregors, this being one of their ancient names. In his history of the clan Scott gives much curious and interesting information about the MacGregors. He says "that they were famous for their misfortunes and the indomitable courage with which they maintained themselves as a clan. The MacGregors strove to retain their lands by the cold steel." The had extensive possessions in Argyllshire and Perthshire which they held by the sword. No other clan in Scotland ever did so much fighting for their rights or for their country.

The ancient seat of the Clan MacGregor was along both sides of the Loch Tay, and in modern times they have lived about the old Church of the Balquhidder, where Rob Roy is buried.

Next to the MacAlpine the MacGregor is the oldest of Highland clans, and these two are closely related, one being a branch of the other. The MacGregors are now scattered all over the world, and many of them have been eminent as statesmen, soldiers, scholars. They are often distinguished by a stern and haughty bearing, arising from a consciousness of having played a famous and honorable part in the wars of Scotland and the world, giving them a sense of superiority they are always ready to maintain by an appeal to arms.

We are proud of our descent from the Clan MacGregor.

Archibald MacGregor, of the Clan MacGregor, Highlands of Scotland, espoused the cause of Charles Edward, the Young Pretender, in 1745, as did his clan and his country. He was a young man of fine stature and immense physical strength. His clan was not in the battle of Culloden Moor, having been stationed at another point, so it is said in the traditions of our family, but he had been sent to the commander of the Pretender forces with despatches, and so was on that disastrous field. There he was dreadfully wounded, being left on the gory field for dead, and his body stripped by the Royalist looters. He, however, revived and with great difficulty and much suffering reached his own country. There he was concealed until he had recovered somewhat from his wounds, when he succeeded in escaping to the colony of North Carolina, where so many of his countrymen were then living. There he married Edith MacAlpine, the daughter of a Highlander who had also been in the battle of Culloden Moor, and who had with great difficulty escaped with his family to America.

MacGregor never fully recovered from his wounds. His daughter Ann was born February 14, 1756, and some two years later he died. His widow married a Scotchman named Langley, and by him had several children. Ann MacGregor, growing up with these Langley children, was, it is said, always called Ann Langley by her friends and acquaintances. Some of these Langleys moved from North Carolina to the Big Sandy region of Kentucky at an early day, and their descendants may yet be found there. Captain Henry Connelly married Ann MacGregor. Neither the date nor the locality of this marriage is known, but it must have been early in 1774, for their first child was born in June, 1775.

Notes for Temperance Hitchcock: It is possible that her maiden name was Blair, the sister of Noble and George Blair. According to descendant Joe Conley of Paintsville, Kentucky: "Through the oral tradition of my family, Tempy was the sister of George and Noble Blair. I do know for a fact that George Blair and John Hitchcock, Sr. came to what is now Johnson Co., Ky. at the same time. Along with Eleazor LeMaster and Abiud Fairchild, they founded the first community on Paint Creek at what is now Staffordsville, Ky. It was not until I began posting my family tree on the internet that the fact that Tempy was a Blair was questioned. I have no proof of this either, other than a mountain of family tradition. With so many diverse sources, however, my belief has become a certainty. Concerning Tempy, (and George and Noble's) lineage, their parentage is a million dollar question. I have been told that they were the children of a promanent Presbyterian minister, John Blair. I question that their parents were of any clerical or educated background as George could not sign his name. Every legal document he signed, he used his mark (X)."

On page 32 of the 1820 census for Floyd County, Kentucky, there are 4 Conley families living next to each other and another close by - 2 houses away. John Conley is the head of the first house in the group. In his house are 4 males under 10 years, 2 males between 10 & 16, 1 male between 16 & 26, 1 male between 26 & 45, 1 female under 10, and 1 female between 26 and 45.

In this house are 2 males under 10, 1 male between 10 & 16, 1 male between 16 & 18, 2 males between 18 & 26, 1 male over 45, 1 female between 10 & 16, 1 female between 16 & 26, and 1 female between 26 & 45. The next house has the family of Henry Conley. In this house are 1 male over 45 and 1 female over 45. The next house has the family of David Conley. In this house are 1 male under 10, 2 males between 10 & 16, 2 males between 16 & 18, 1 male between 26 & 45, 1 female between 26 & 45, and 1 female over 45. 2 houses down is the family of Henry Conley. In this house are 2 males under 10, 1 male between 16 & 26, 1 male between 26 & 45, 3 females under 10, and 1 female between 26 & 45.

Notes: David M. Conley's lineage has some question marks that Joseph Eugene Conley wrote about in 2001 in a paper called The Unknown Children of Captain Henry Connelly.

According to the book "The Conley Clan of Eastern Kentucky," published and sold by The Magoffin County Historical Society, "David M. Conley b. ca 1817 d. on Paint Creek 19 Mar 1853 of Inflamatory Rheumatism. This information comes from the Floyd Co. KY Vital Statistics and also gives the names of his parents as: David & Mary Conley and gives his birthplace as Russell Co. Virginia. David M. Conley m. 14 Apr 1834 Floyd Co. KY to Mahala Robertson b. 1820."

On page 41 of the 1840 census for Floyd County, Kentucky, David M. Conley is listed as the head of the household and in the house are: 1 male between age 5 and 10, 1 male between age 20 and 30, 2 females under age 5, and 1 female between age 20 and 30.

On page 41 of the 1850 census for Johnson County, Kentucky (dated August 29, 1850), David M. Conley is listed as the head of the household for house #271, he's a farmer, born in Virginia, and he's 33 years old. Also listed are Mahalah (born in Virginia, age 30), David H. (born in Kentucky, age 15), Eveline (born in Kentucky, age 13), Lydia (born in Kentucky, age 11), William (born in Arkansas, age 8), John R. (born in Arkansas, age 6), Elizabeth (born in Kentucky, age 5), and Ellen (born in Kentucky, age 1). There is a John Roberson Sr. (born in Virginia, age 69) and his wife Nancy (born in Virginia, age 63) and their family living in house #173 that could very well be Mahala's parents.

On page 80 of the 1860 census for Magoffin County, Kentucky (dated August 2, 1860), William Blanton is listed as the head of the house for house #532, he's a farmer, born in Virginia, and he's 59 years old.
