Notes for Eliza CONN

 

  • Aunt Irene Morrison has Coleraine as birthplace and also wrote "she was third child, being preceded by Jane and Margaret and followed by Anne, Mary, Sarah, Robert Thomas 1830-36, Hugh, Matilda, Robert Thomas (2nd) 1838-39, Ellen.

 

  • LDS Family Search submitters Dave and Kathy Morris had Eliza Conn's (wife of our James Kennedy ID #49) birth date as May 9 1848 and the place Drumachose, Londonderry, Ireland. This cannot be accurate since it is documented in the publication "Prayer" by James Kennedy that Eliza married James Kennedy in 1848.

 

  • After 5 years in New York Eliza fall victim to 'valve disease of the heart' and died at their New York city home on 334 West 55 Street at 9:20 am, December 19, 1875.  

 

  • June 2005: Manager of the Bronxville Cemetery in Westchester:  "The Kennedy plot is the first plot in the Cemetery on the right.  There are no names inscribed on the monument.  Just the name "Kennedy". " 

 

  • See Rev James Kennedy's page for his story is also Eliza's story.
