Biography

Very little is known about Sarah Rogers of Ireland, especially before she married John McConnelogue, who was about seven or eight years her senior. It was thought that she and John had six children, until the death record of the oldest daughter was found, which shows a mother named Mary Kelley. If that is true, then Sarah only had five children and John must have had a previous marriage. Family history says that the two sons were born in Delaware and that is confirmed by census and other records; John M. 1848-1937 and Daniel 1849-1876. It was previously thought that the boys were the oldest, but new information shows that their half-sister, Bridget (OR Theresa Loretta "Retta" Buckley Borden OR Auntie, not Annie), was the oldest, born to John and Mary Kelley in 1847.
The family moved to Wisconsin between 1849 and 1852 and three daughters were born there; Sarah Engle 1852-1944?, Mary Helen Lake 1854-1947, Catherine "Kate" Sullivan 1856-1935.[1][2] After Bridget married Dennis J. Buckley about 1870 and Kate married John Sullivan about 1871, the remaining family moved again, this time to Hardin county, Iowa. Family history says that Sarah died the next year after arriving there. This burial record confirms that story, and according to the gravestone, she died on 14 March 1873. That would fix the year of the move from Wisconsin to Iowa at 1872.
This was a very mobile family. Bridget went to Chicago with her first husband, changed her name, had two sons, then her husband died and her second marriage was to a Borden millionaire with numerous residences coast to coast. John and his two sons went to Minnesota for a time. Sarah Engle can be found in records in Colorado. Mary Lake ended up in Thayer county, Nebraska. Kate was married in Iowa and then returned to Wisconsin.
After Sarah was laid to rest here in Iowa Falls, her husband, John, was also buried here, along with her sons, a daughter-in-law and two grandsons. It will be a glorious reunion when they rise together to meet their Savior in the clouds some day.[3][4][5]

Note that there are many different spellings of McConneloug, such as McConnelong, McConnelogue, as well as phonetic variations from verbal renumerations, transcriptions from handwritten records, and other sources. These are not considered errors which need to be corrected, and most descendants should recognize variations were frequent and inevitable. Sources below have kept the indexed spelling. Biography above is purposely inconsistent because sources are inconsistent. Surname of profiles here on WikiTree have consistently used the spelling McConnelogue to affirm relationship, but this spelling may have only been the variation that one branch of the family in Nebraska, from which the author and manager of these profiles descended, frequently used.
