Maternal Families - Connor

Of course there would be no Woodburn families without a linkage with other families. The following are the maternal sides to my line - Connor, Magerkurth, Rembe, McKenzie, and for good measure, my wife's side, Davis.

The Connor family left County Westmeath, Ireland, and arrived in Vanderburgh County, Indiana at the end of 1844. Little is known of the family. The Connor name is certainly Irish with a common variation of O'Connor. The family owned a castle at one time. Dating back to the late 1600's, John & Sarah McCutchon bore Charles Connor, who married Catherine FItzgerald. Their son Thomas also married a Catherine, who had ten children, the seventh of which was Sarah, my great-great grandmother.

As is stated in earlier posts, Sarah Connor and Sam Woodburn married 25 November 1856. The rest is, well, chronicled history in this blog!

The documents in this post are by an unknown cousin.
