William Connell/Daniel O'Connell-VA & MS
William Connell followed his sons, Hugh and John,from VA to MS prior to 1821. They settled in Woodville and he settled in Liberty where he had bought a mill. He died about 1822 at 93 years.
Reportedly, William was born in Ireland as Daniel O'Connell, was impressed into the British Navy, and deserted to the American Rebels in New York Harbor. They changed his name to William Connell for his safety.
