Shawn:

I am just getting back to my family tree research and organizing papers, etc. I was getting my feet wet on Ancestry and saw this post. I am a granddaughter of Thomas Francis Connole, one of Joseph and Bertha's brothers.

Would you like to share information, photos, etc. You may have more than I do, but I would love to establish contact with others in the Connole family.

Thanks, Carol Powell

Are you talking about the same Joseph Daniel Connole born in 10 Feb 1881 & Died in KCMO 3 Jan 1946? I am a decendant of his sister Bertha Elizabeth "Lil" (Connole) Ice. I have the family information on my tree for all 10 children of John J Connole & Bridget Elizabeth (Kalaher) Connole, who married in Greene, Illinois. Sincerely, Shawn Short, lindik@homesc.com

The Connole family married 2 sisters in the O'Connors - and there sister is my gg grand mother. In the small rural community you had to get along, and even after both families grdually moved away they stayed in touch.
I am just trying to fill in the Irish parts of the family.

Brendan,

How are you related to Anne Cready & Daniel Connole? I am the great great grandaughter of Patrick Cready & Bridget Talty. Patrick was Anne's brother. I know they had a sister Mary married to Edward Pender. The Patrick Joseph you referred to is the son of Anne Cready & Daniel Connole as was William born 1880.
I don't know when they had gone to Australia

Addendum to my original posting (some things I forgot in there).
The Anthony Connole who married Mary Markham--Mary Markham appears to have been the daughter of a Matthew Markham born circa 1830 IRE and his wife Ann Unknown also born IRE ca 1830. They show on the Aug 1860 census in Carrollton, Greene Co IL with children: Mary age 7, Eliza age 3, Catharine 11 mos. I did not find them in 1870,1880 no doubt misspelled.

The Martha Linn Connole (dtr of Anthony Connole and Mary Markham) went to the State Normal School, St. Louis Uniersity in St. Louis MO, was admitted to the Ilinois Bar Association as an attorney in Oct 1917, was a teacher for 12 yrs at White Hall and Carrollton, IL. also.

Sept 1870 census for New Providence, Greene Co IL had Anthony and Mary (Markham) Connole and a daughter 'Jennie' age 1 as firstborn. He was listed as a merchant but surname was misspelled A Conole on census.

1870 census for Carrollton, Greene Co IL had several 'Connole's all misspelled:
Dan Conole age 33 and wife M both born Ireland (cdn James 6 Kate 1)
John Conole age 42 and wife B both born Ireland (cdn Mary 8, Martie 6, Ellen 3, M 9 mos)
Pat Canole age 50 born Ireland (there were also two Patrick Canole's both age 30 living in Carrollton in 1860 census
Thomas Canole age 28 born Ireland wife $ born Ire (cdn male age 10, JOhn 8, 7 female, James 5, Thomas 3, Charles 1, May 11)

I am not related to the Connole family. I 'accumulated' a lot of information on this family simply be doing some initial research for an old friend. He is not into genealogy so I decided I should POST what I had gathered online in case someone in this Connole line IS into genealogy and this might help them.

It concerns a Connole family who came to the U.S. from County Clare, Ireland--landed in New Orleans and then worked their way up to IL and MO. He told me it may have been 3 brothers. He was out of an Anthony Connole, one of the brothers and that is the family this information relates to although I did see other family living nearby each of these areas, especially a Patrick Connole in Carrollton, Greene Co. IL.

Anthony Connole b. 3 July 1842 County Clare IRE crossed the Atlantic in 1860 landing in New Orleans. A short biosketch I found in 'History of Greene Co. IL written in 1879: Deputy County Clerk, r cor. W 9th St and Maple Ave. Anthony Connole is a native of County Clare, Ireland. Born July 3, 1842, crossing the Atlantic in his 17th year he landed in the city of New Orleans; from the "Crescent City" he made his way to Carrollton, where he first worked as a farm-hand for David Black and attended school during the winter, having previously received a liberal education in his native land. When the war broke out Mr. Connole enlisted in Co F, 1st MO Cav, and subsequently re-enlisted as a veteran in Co A 53rd Illinois Infantry; detailed as a sergeant, he became a participant in many noted battles; honorably discharged when the war closed, he proceeded to Kentucky where he became employed as a clerk for a railroad contractor; afterwards proceeding to Springfield, he officiated as clerk for the U.S. Marshal; from here he went to Berdan, in Greene County, where he entered into the mercantile business, and was elected Justice of the Peace, and during the present year was appointed deputy clerk under the Honor L.R. Lakin, County Clerk. In 1869 Mr. Connole was married to Miss Mary Markham, by whom he has five children.
(My note: He had more than five children--this was written before some of them were born. Miss Mary Markham was born 1853 in IL d. 1935 IL but both her parents were from Ireland. He had a 2nd Civil War enlistment Union Army 53rd Regiment, Illinois Infantry.) Anthony Connole was City Marshall in Carrollton, Greene Co IL in 1895. In the 1910 census they stated they had had 8 children. Anthony Connole died 19 Feb 1919 and is buried in Carrollton City Cemetery, Greene Co. IL as is his wife Mary (Markham) Connole. Children of theirs I was able to find:

Henry Connole b. 26 July 1871 IL d. 15 Nov 1947 St. Louis MO. (I believe Henry may have been a middle name as one census had him as a W. Henry).
He is in Venice Twp, Madison Co IL in 1910 census married 14 June 1909 in White Hall, IL to Mary Augusta Rickart b. 30 Jan 1884 near Abilene, KS (His brothers Paul and Milo also in Madison Co IL in 1910 census). She was the daughter of Jacob Henry Rickart b. 8 Aug 1854 near White Hall, IL and his wife Sophronia Jane Giller b. 11 Nov 1857 Greene Co. IL. There is also a 55 yr old widow James Connole living in Venice, Madison Co IL in 1910 as well, born Ireland. In 1920 census for Madison Co IL Henry Connole and Mary have two sons: David Connole b.8 Sept 1912 and Paul Henry Connole b.ca. 1915 IL.SOS MO records have Henry Connole b. 26 July 1871 Beldan, IL died 15 Nov 1947 from hypertensive cariovascular disease, cerebral vascular accident. I believe while living in Madison Co. IL, Henry Connole was a JUDGE. I found a reference to this online. Employment on death cert says lawyer and insurance salesman. Buried National Cemetery Jefferson Barracks MO. His ‘usual place of residence was listed as 1536 third St. Madison, Madison Co. IL so he maybe was visiting relatives in St. Louis when he died? His son Navy Commander David Rickart Connole had a ship named after him. He was Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Trigger, a submarine that went down in WWII. More on this: DAVID RICKART CONNOLE
The Connole family name is Irish with David Connole's grandfather, Anthony, immigrating from County Clare, Ireland in the mid-1800's LO Carroilton, Illinois. David R. Connole was born on September 8, 1912 in Madison, ILas the first son of Henry Connole and Mary Rickart Connole. He did well in school and also became an Eagle Scout. After attending llinois College for two years, he gained entrance to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1932 and graduated in 1936. For the next three years, he served aboard the cruiser USS Boise then entered Submarine School.
From December 1939 to August 1943, Commander Connole served aboard the submarine USS Pompano which was involved in numerous war patrols in the Pacific. He then became executive officer of the USS Cuttlefish. In 1944, he took command of the USS Sennet and in 1945, he became the commanding officer of the USS Trigger. The U.S.S. Trigger was lost in battle off the coast of Japan in March, 1945.
Commander Connole was awarded two Silver Star medals, the Bronze Star medal and the U.S.S. Trigger earned the Presidential Unit Citation for three war patrols.
Vida Wimbrow was born on June 8, 1917 and raised in Annapolis, Maryland. She and David met in 1935 and were married in 1938. This young Navy couple lived in New London, Connecticut, San Francisco, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. During the war years, Vida lived in Annapolis. Their only son, Rickart Alan Connole, was born in September, 1944. David last saw his son at Rick's christening in November, 1944.
In 1949, Vida married Captain Roy S. Benson who, by coincidence, commanded the U.S.S. Trigger in 1942 and was an instructor of navigation to David Connole at the Naval Academy.
In honor of the U.S.S. Trigger and David Connole, Vida Connole Benson christened the second USS Trigger in 1951. Mary Rickart Connole, David's mother, christened the USS Connole on July 20, 1968 The US Navy and a number of associations have further honored David Connole and the USS Trigger with the establishment of memorials that specifically identify their names. Some of these memorials, which the author has visited, are listed below:
• a. The David R. Connole Alpine Village Mall, Madison, IL
• b. Submarine Museum and Memorial, Nautilus Park, New London, CT
• c. Submarine Veterans of World War II, continuing memorial in monthly newsletter and at annual conventions where USS Trigger veterans gather

A Personal Statement By Rickart A. Connole:
The USS Connole is a sea going vessel .... engineered steel, sophisticated weapons, highly trained crew designed to he a naval fighting vessel to protect its homeland. It's impressive.
To be associated with this particular vessel has been special for me in my life time. First, the ship was named for my father. She was christened by my grandmother and I had the distinct thrill of riding her down the ways (the first of many memorable rides). Second, it carries the name of my family. One cannot keep from being overwhelmed when faced with two hundred sixty sailors all of whom are wearing baseball caps with my name on it!
Third, and foremost, was the opportunity to get to know the crew. It is great to see your name on the side of the ship, but, of course, a ship is inanimate. The relationship with the ship came "alive" when I got to know the commanding officers, ward room officers, chiefs and sailors over the years.
The significance of this relationship with the USS Connole crew centers on two factors of my upbringing:
1. I never had the opportunity to know my father. He was a Naval officer and commanded ships. What was it like to be at sea, among a ship community, in command? I am a Navy junior and continue to have a high interest in the Navy.
Getting to know the Commanding Officers has given me special insight into understanding what my father had experienced: the pressure, risk, challenge, tenacity to succeed, burden and thrill of leadership, recognition, glory, competition, concern, sorrow, separation from loved ones, intellectual requirements, guiding a group with never enough assets or information, pride of doing it right, success.... getting the E.
Each Commanding Officer that I have had the opportunity to know has been very generous to include my family and me into many USS Connole activities. We have been very appreciative of the relationship with the ship and have had a sincere interest in its accomplishments.
Sure I'm proud of this ship; it carries my father's name. But what's really significant is the great job done by all and the tradition of excellence that was established. Each successive Commanding Officer and his crew built on their predecessors platform of achievements and set off for new goals. Each one was a success as was the total twenty-three year career go look at that ship you'll see the name Connole, and look at all those E's.

Lida Elizabeth Connole born Feb 1874 IL. She married Ernest Alger Thornhill (Principal, Telluride English Institute Provo, UT) graduate of the State Normal School and of Harvard University class of 1894.

Jennie Connole b.ca. 1875 (age 5 in 1880 census). Jennie went on to marry an unknown FORD.

Anna Connole born 7 Apr 1876 IL. Anna went on to marry on 8 Feb 1902 Dr. William.Turpice Dowdall JR of Casner, they married at Jacksonville. The couple are in the Apr 1910 census for Peoria, Peoria Co. IL, having been married 8 yrs with one child: Annadelle M. Dowdall b.ca. 1902 IL. William T. Dowdall b.ca. 1874 IL to father b. IL, mother b. KY. Mrs. Anna Dowdall was still listed in a Peoria Directory in 1915. By 1920 however, Anna (Connole) Dowdall is living by herself with her daughter in Los Angeles, CA at age 42 working as a teacher of dramatic arts. She says ‘married’ not widowed or divorced but there is no husband living with her. Anna died 5 July 1955 in Los Angeles County CA. Her daughter Annadelle Mason Dowdall b. 27 Dec 1902 married unknown Edmondson and died 12 Jan 1993 Los Angeles Co CA. Biosketch of William T. Dowdall M.D., B.A. from ‘History of Peoria City and County, Illinois Vol 2 by James Montgomery Rice:
Occupying a conspicuous place in the professional galaxy of Peoria stands Dr. William T. Dowdall, a physician and surgeon whose natural ability, education and training have secured for him not only a fine general practice but also numerous appointments of trust and honor by various life insurance companies and fraternal orders and by one of the greatest railroad corporations in this state. The doctor has practiced in Peoria since 1905. He is a native of this city born Aug 18, 1872, a son of William T. and Delle (Mason) Dowdall. His father for 25 yrs was a newspaper man in Illinois. During his professional career he published two papers in Peoria-The Peoria Daily National Democrat (succeeded later by the Herald) and the Evening Review. He likewise published the Pekin (ILL) Times, the Virginia Enquirer and the Jacksonville Daily Courier. William T. Dowdall was also the first postmaster to occupy the present find post office bldg of this city, serving 4 years during President Cleveland’s first term of office. He is now living retired in Membership, Tennessee with another son, Paul Mason Dowdall, an attorney. Wm T Dowdall JR, whose name introduces this review, received his early education in the common and high schools of the city of his nativity. He became the first special delivery messenger in Peoria. Wishing to augment his knowledge, he entered the Illinois College at Jacksonville, there taking the preparatory course, and afterward attended the Wabash College at Crawfordsville, Indiana from which he was graduated in 1895 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In the fall of that year he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago, being graduated with honors from that institution in 1898. Subsequently he had over one year’s experience as interne at the West Side Hospital in Chicago and then secured a civil service appointment placing him on the board of health in that city, a position which he held from 1899 to 1903. During that time he was on the smallpox staff and also was commissioned to the care of scarlet fever and diptheria cases. After the valuable experience thus secured in chicago, Dr. Dowdall with his brother Dr.
Guy Dowdall, now chief surgeon of the Illinois Central Railroad, went to Clinton, Illinois in 1903, there practicing in partnership with his brother until 1905, when he came to Peoria. During the period of their residence in Clinton the brothers were division surgeons for the Illinois Central. On coming to Peoria, Dr. William T. Dowdall opened offices at No. 105 South Jefferson St and later removed to suite 232, Woolner Bldg, where he is now located. In addition to discharging the duties devolving upon him by reason of his large general practice, Dr. Dowdall acts as local surgeon for the Illinois Central Railroad, examiner for the Metropolitan Life Ins Co, the Central Union Life Ins Co, the Hartford Life Ins Co, the Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Foresters, Mystic Workers of the World and Fraternal Reserves. He is a memb er of the National Railroad Surgeons Assn, the American Medical Assn and the Peoria City and Illinois State Medical Societies. Dr. Dowdall was united in marriage in 1902 to Miss Anna Connole of Carrollton, IL and to them has been born one child, Annadelle Mason Dowdall. Mrs. Dowdall is a leader in musical circles of the city and with her rich soprano of a peciliarly soft timbre and sweetness, of remarkable power of expression, and precision and clearness of tone, even in the upper registers, often delights enraptured audiences with her renditions. The Doctor is a prominent member of the Creve Coeur and Kickapoo Golf Clubs.

Anthony Emmett Connole born Nov 1878 IL. At age 21 was working as a pharmacist. Went on to move first to Madison Co. IL, then to St. Louis MO with his family (He had son Anthony William Connole b. 2 Dec 1915 d. 24 Nov 2005 FL who married 1st in 1942 Allene Williamson both living in St. Louis MO at the time.) In the 1920 census Anthony Emmett Connole is living in Venice, Madison Co. IL working at age 41 as a clerk in ‘car shops.’ With him is his wife Mabel M. (Hodson) Connole, Daughter Doris Connole age 7, Ruth Connole age 5, Anthony William Connole age 4 b. IL, and Thomas Connole age 2. Mabel M. (Hodson) Connole was the daughter of Horatio Hodson and his wife Nancy Stearns. Mabel Hodson was born Nov 1 1883 Laclede, MO and died Aug 17 1954 in St. Louis, MO. At the time of her death they lived at 5309 Ruskin Ave., St. Louis MO.

Martha Linne Connole born 21 Sept 1883 Carrollton, Greene Co IL,. She moved to Madison Co. IL, then later to East St. Louis, St. Clair, IL. Never married, no issue. She was a woman 'before her time'. Very politically involved, an economic feminist and a mover and shaker. She became an attorney. She spoke several times before the U.S. Congress. She died in 1957 and is buried in Carrollton City Cemetery, Greene Co IL with her parents.
She is cited many times online but here is just a sampling of what I found:
Appointed by the Governor of Illinois in 1939 to some State Commission
An officer in the Federation of Business and Professional Womens Clubs
Spoke before the House Ways and Means Comm on 'Revenue Revision' in 1927
Spoke in hearings before Congress in 1930 on Senatorial Campaign Expenditures in IL

Very involved in Big Brothers and Sisters Associations

There is something in the Harry S Truman Papers Collection at the White House Central files that mentions Paul Parnell Connole Box 1759 file # OF 3439. Contact truman.library@nara.gov

Milo Markham Connole b. 4 Aug 1890 Carrollton IL died 27 Jan 1967 Chicago, Cook Co. IL.

*One other researcher noted another daughter Roberta Connole who went on to marry a Chandler, but I did not find proof of this so am uncertain about this.

Jocelyn,
I see that Tracey has already contacted you. We met via this same message some time ago. Our families are indeed linked. I find it a little confusing because each generation used the same given names for their offspring.

Sr Nicola Brady is well known to my immediate family. She has given me some family details but they are incomplete and her memory is failing.

Tracy is the expert and can certainly provide you with some interesting information. I have some documents and will gladly forward them to your email address. (The attachment to Ancestry won't accept them as text.) Hope to hear from you again. Please feel free to use my personal email address.

Re: Australian link

Hi Jocelyn,
I am a CONNOLE and it seems we have common ancestry. Daniel Connole and Ann Creedy were the parents of several children, including my g g g/father, Patrick.
Please contact me and we can share info if you like. Also, Carmel and I worked out to be "kin", so you have found both of us and we are, indeed, all linked.
Tracey

Re: Australian link

2006-01-30 06:09:42Z

Carmel, do you have any other names. My grandmother was Mary Ann Connole, her father, Danial Connole, and mother, Ann Creedy. She was born Postman's Ridge, which is near Helidon. Had property that boarded the highway to Toowoomba at Helidon.
She was related to Jack Connole who owned the Connoles supermarket on Ruthven Street, Toowoomba. I don't know too many of the Connole names. There is a nun, Sister Nicola Brady who I think was my father's second cousin. Her mother Margaret and Sister Mary came out from County Clare in 1907. They were from Ennistymon.
Any of these related to you.

Re: Australian link

2005-05-09 10:58:57Z

I see you are an iprimus customer (from Brisbane?) so we may even be knowingly related. I have not spent much time in my research todate.

My grandfather, Patrick Joseph Connole, lived in Helidon Queensland. He inherited his property from his grandfather, who I understand came from County Clare. My grandfather had a couple of brothers, one of whom lived in Toowoomba, Qld; and a sister (married name Hickey) who lived in Gatton, Qld.

No-one in our family kept records, and they did not keep in touch after marriage. I have my grandfather's war records from WW1 - including a Military Medal won in France.

Is this of any help to you?

As far as I know she was only married to Joseph and Herman. However I am not completely sure of this. I do have any old picture of Alice Lee and Joseph (and their first child...I believe) and one of Joseph's brothers I think is who he is..

Not totally sure, I know that my great-grandmother Alice remarried after Joseph died to a man from Germany. I think he died some where around the late 40's or before.

Carmel,
I hope I didn't frighten you away with my delight at realising we had a connection.
Can you help me with the details of your grandfathers marriage? I am currently searching for the marriages of Patrick Joseph; Percival; and Mary Agnes CONNOLE; all born to Patrick Joseph CONNOLE and Honoria DREW. If you can be of any help I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,
Tracey

Hi Carmel,
This is so exciting! We are indeed related............your grandfather, Patrick, was the younger brother of my grandfather, William Victor. I've been researching for a while now and seems I may be of help to you.
My father was the only son of William, also in WW1. He was a Patrick Joseph too and had very little information on his ancestors. I only wish I had done all this while he was still alive to enjoy it.
I live in Melbourne and would love to chat. Please keep in touch. You've made my day !!

Looking for Chastity Connole, her father was Frank Connole, she is the daughter of a family member. Frank died in 1986 in a car wreck, he was at one time a hwy patrolman, and in the airforce. Chastity (not sure of spelling) was born 1972. She may not know her mother is alive and looking for her. Last known address was in Bolder Creek California. I am helping because this woman is grief-stricken and longs for her daughter, and I know what it is like to find lost relatives. :-) She does not know I am posting messages on her behalf. Any help GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

Hi ,
I have been trying to find information on my step grandfathers family. His name was Frank J Connole. He was born 1/22/1903 and died 6/10.1970. He served in WWI I have an old photo of him where he was in the field but not sure where.

I do not know much about his family other than he was from the Kansas City area as a child. When I was a child I was told he was the foster child of Fred and Nonnie Polly, also from the Kansas City area. Fred and Nonnie moved to South Texas where Frank settled and married my grandmother. I have several photo's of Frank as a child abd 1 of what I think are relatives, but am not sure of the connection. The name Connole is on the back. I am not sure right now what the first names are, I will have to dig them out and see if you want.
Do you think there is a connection between your Frank and mine? You may email me at carolharriman@earthlink.net direct if you like.
Hope we have a match. I would love to know more about him and his family.
Thanks for any help you may send my way.

Carol.

Hi,
I know this is a long shot, but my step grandfather was Frank Connole. He had family in Kansas City in the early 1900's I do not know anything about his family. It is such an unusual name I thought there might be a connection.
I do know his foster father was Fred Polly, also from Mo. Fred moved to South Texas about 1914. Frank was in San Benito for a while during that time and went back to Kansas City, but do not know much more about his early life.
If there is a connection I would love to hear forn you. Even though Frank was my step granfather he was the only grandfather I ever knew.
Please note my new email address:

carolharriman@earthlink.net

Thanks and hope there is a connection.

Carol
