James was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Richmond Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. It is a surprise to find this listing in Richmond Township rather than Sullivan, but it is apparetnly because their property was right on the boundary line.

James was last taxed 1842. On the 1843 tax roll his name is written over by Sally's. An earlier source gave 14 FEB 1836 as death date but this is obviously in error.

His body was interred FEB 1842 in Scouten Hill ?, Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Probably buried across road from their house on Scouten Hill.

James McConnell and Sally Gray migrated to Sullivan Township with relatives of Sally's named Wood, Bryant, and Smith.

James and Sally settled on Scouten Hill in Sullivan and cleared the land and built their home. This is close to the Richmond Township line.

know very little of James' family ancestry. He may have been born in Connecticut, New York, or New Jersey or even Pennsylvania. He may have migrated from New Jersey to Connecticut where he married Sally Gray, whose ancestry we know a great deal about. There are no tombstones for James and Sally. They were probably buried in the field above their home with field stones as markers that have long since been dispersed by plowing.
