Biography
Avis Hilliard (married names Connell, then Mason, then Conyngham) was the daughter of Barbara Mason and William Hilliard.[1][2]
She married firstly to John, the son of Morgan Connell of Kilfenny.[2] They had at least a son and a daughter:[2]
- Morgan O'Connell
- Mary O'Connell.
John died by 1766.[3]
Her second marriage was to her first cousin, John Mason in 1769.[4][2]
Avis's third marriage was to Henry Conyngham.[2]
Research Notes
Foster and Burke disagree on most points about this family. Foster has Avis marrying secondly John O'Connell of Newtown, county Cork, the son of Morgan O'Connell and Margaret Leppard. Burke has John as the son of Morgan Connell and Constance Peppard, which tallies with Morgan's will.[5]
