My paternal 3rd Great Grandfather was Denis McConnell from Donegal, Ireland and was a Tin Smith I don't yet know much about him or his family and wife. His daughter, Margaret McConnell was my 2nd great-grandmother. She married my 2nd great-grandfather, Hugh Caulfield in Stranolar, Donegal on 15 September 1887 and they lived in Raphoe, Donegal. Hugh Caulfield was also a Tin Smith as was his father, Patrick Caulfield. See attached image of part of my family tree.

Thomas McConnell, great grandfather, Mary Kerr McConnell, owned textile Mills near Glascow, Scotland, death certificates of them show family resided or born in Ayershire Scotland. Thomas and Mary and family immigrated to U.S. and built and owned mills in PA, and in Easthampton, MA
My grandfather Archibald McConnell stated our family history as being descendants of Irish Kings, this information has been passed down through the generations, and would love to be able to have our family name traced back, so I can share it with my elderly Mother Heather McConnell Bugbee.
Thank you for any information you could provide.
Sincerely,
Edith Bugbee Tarrant

My husband and children are descendants of Andrew McConnell who died at the Battle of Blue Licks 19 August 1782 in Kentucky USA. Searching his ancestors. His father, Adam. Andrew's grandfather was Alexander.

(Part 1 of 3) The McConnell name has a long history in Ireland, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The McConnell story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The McConnell surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.

(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The McConnell story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

Fascinating I knew McConnell's came from Scotland and Ireland little did I know they went from Ireland to Scotland and then back to Ireland at the "behest" of the English. Where does Niall of the nine hostages fall into this or does he.

My Cousin Perry McConnell says our Great Great Grandfather Samuel McConnell was born in Carncastle, County Antrim.
?Now it is possible that Samuel's children moved south from Northern Ireland and settled in the regions of Cork and Kerry.?
