Biography

THE LINE FROM ADAM!

WE have additional information on the lines from Bashby, James, and Mary for this family who settled around Amsterdam, Ohio. We NEED the parents of Adam McConnaughy and the lines from the other children. An interesting "Mystery" has developed in this line. We have Bashby (a Male) married to Miss McWilliams and the information that his first child was a daughter, Elizabeth, born 11 May 1824. From another (and should be authoritative) source, Adam and Elizabeth's first child is listed as a daughter, Barsheba McConnaughy who married a Mr. Riddlemeser! The second source has some other discrepancies, but they are not irreconcilable. The problem of Bashby and Barsheba is one that needs looking into! From the spelling, location, and age the most likely connection for this line is that of William McConnaughey and Ellen Berry, which has plenty of room for more sons! Adam would appear to be a grandson of William and Ellen if he belongs to this line. We are indebted to Mrs. James C. McConnaughy and to Mr/ Claude Roe (married to Gladys Marie McConnaughy) for the information on this line. The[ir]re information agrees as to Bashby. We can see how someone would get the Barsheba (from the maternal grandmother's name), but Riddlemeser? That would be hard to "imagine!"
