Daniel W. McCONNELL was the youngest son of my great great grandfather, Thomas H. McCONNELL, of Sparta, MI. Both men served in the Civil War -- Thomas in the 10th Cavalry and Daniel in the 1st MI Artillery. Thomas died in early 1863 and is buried in the National Cemetery in Knoxville, TN. The McCONNELLs came to Michigan from Philadelphia, PA area in the 1840s. Thomas' father-in-law was a SPANGENBERG. I'm looking for any relatives of mine.
