Dear Bud:
Did you ever find Jemima Conn?A while back, I found a Jemima b. ca. 1824 on the 1870 Census of Jefferson Twp., Boone County, IN., wife ofEpperson Conn.Son? William,18 yrs.This info by my (shaky)memory.
After 1806, it appears the children of Sam & Hannah Ely Conn and the family of Simon Ely (Hannah's fa., left Powell's Valley (SW VA) and end up in Franklin Co., IN.
I haven't ruled out our connection, because Rye Cove Gap and Turkey Cove Gap (Powell's Mtn & Valley) aren't so far apart by car.By horse, it may be another matter.
Do you know if this line of your ancestors came out of NC or SC?Daniel Boone was in Yadkin NC and he and about 50 families left there during the War of Regulation and spent some time in Powell's Valley.So much to search, so little time.
Later, Linda Conn Bristol
