Page last modified: Thursday, 30-Jul-2020 06:39:53 EDTThe parentage of John Connolly (1853) remains somewhat speculative. We know from his marriage record that his father was named Patrick. There were multiple Patrick Connollys in the general area. One of the witnesses on John's 1880 marriage was Denis Connolly, presumably a relative. Patrick Connolly and Margaret Driscoll were modeled in as parents because they also had a son Denis.
This lineage falls under I-L38.
