Re: James, George, and Hugh Mc Connell

Don't know if this will be any help, but I found the following obituary in copies of family documents.I'm assuming that George's mother, Roxy Morse McConnell, was sister to my ggg grandmother, Electra Morse:

George Gary McConnell died at his residence in McConnellsville, Jan. 5th 1869, aged 48 years, 1 month and 11 days.
He was born in this place, and brought up by religious parents, Joseph and Roxy McConnell, and from early youth he seems to have led an upright, moral life, and was only to be known, to be loved for his sterling worth.He was a liberal supporter of the Gospel in this place, both by his means nad presence.He had never made a public profession of the religion of the Cross, although he had often expressed a desire to be a Christian in word and deed, but his diligence kept him back from the enjoyment of the "spirit of Christ which passeth understanding."His last sickness was short, but very painful, yet he was enabled to call on the name of Jesus by faith, and felt assured that all was well, and that Jesus did comfort him in death.In his death, his family lose a kind husband, and an affectionate father.May the grace of God sustain them in their affliction.H. Nicolls.

Also is an obit for Roxy Morse McConnell:
Roxy, widow of Joseph McConnell, who deceased at the same place in 1842, died at her own residence at McConnellsville, Oneida Co., N.Y., aged 76 years and 11 days.
Sister McConnell's maiden name was Roxy Morse.She was born Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., N.Y., July 9th, 1790.In childhood she moved to Floyd, Oneida Co., where, at the age of 15 years she experienced religion, and at the age of 18 married Joseph McConnell.In 1814 the moved to the place of their decease, where, at that time, the country was new, the inhabitants sparce, and Christians few.But sister McConnell with a few other faithful ones, was active in the cause of God, and many soulswere converted.In all her efforts for the Church of her choice, she was both zealous and consistent, and her counsels good.Herlife was a success, her death a (line of text unreadable) . . . even in the dying hour she had a great struggle of heart for its success.Surrounded by members of her loved family and Christian friends, she seemed at times to be on the verge of heaven; and though suffering exptreme pain of body, she would look back upon the past of her Christian experience, and the success of the Church, and then look forward with triumph over the last, and exhort these dear ones to meet her in heaven.She was conscious until the last, calling her loved children by name with the fondness of a dying mother, as they came to her dying bed.The high esteem cherished for sister Mcconnell, was manifest by the attendance at her funeral, of friends from far and near.So the righteous die, and so are they buried.C. Phillips.
