I don’t think there is a connection -- Haydenville is in Hampshire County, not Worcester Co. The connection to Worcester Co. that I have is through my great-great-grandfather, Patrick D. Kennedy. He was born in the town of Worcester about 1843 to John & Hannah Kennedy.

The connection I have to “Connelly” is through the daughter of Patrick D. Kennedy & Ellen Burke (my great-great-grandmother, who was born in Ireland abt. 1848 & settled in the Haydenville area about 1862). Patrick & Ellen married in 1871 and settled in Bridgeport CT after having two daughters born in Haydenville -- Ellen Jr. & Margaret Gertrude (my great-grandmother). The move to Bridgeport was around 1876. There were six more children born after the move to Bridgeport. One of those born in Bridgeport was Mary (“Mamie”). Mary (Mamie) married a Robert (“Bob”) Connelly and settled in Bridgeport. Mamie & Bob had a daughter named Ruth. Ruth married a Mr. Mason and eventually settled in Naugatuck CT.

Thanks for your interest.
