DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Daniel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Daniel:
The Daniel listed as the son of John and Nancy Agnes is the son of a different John McConnell, one married to a Mary and they were from North Carolina. John Milton McConnell's family immigrated from Ireland, settled in PA, went to the Waxhaws settlement in SC by 1780 and on to Hall County Georgia by 1820. Daniel's date of birth is almost a generation earlier than the known children of John Milton and Nancy Agness (Major John Milton McConnell Jr 1780–1865, Elizabeth Jane McConnell 1783–1852, and William). The Waxhaws settlement straddled NC and SC, but my McConnells were living in to Abbeville in 1790, not in NC. While it is possible John and Nancy Agnes had a child named Daniel, given John's father was likely named Daniel, the geography doesn't argue in favor of this couple being the parents of the Dr. Daniel listed.
