III. Phoebe McConnell b 1833 Scott Co VA d about 1876; Eula Lyons McNutt of west end, Gate City, VA, genealogist and expert on grave locations, gave this information on Phoebe and George. She says that they both were buried on the Will Robinette place. A person named Ladd later bought the property and bull-dozed the graves to put a swimming pool, not knowing that graves were the honeysuckles.

V. William G. McConnell b 1838 Scott Co VA d 1918 War Gap, Hancock Co TN of suicide by cutting his own throat with a butcher knife; m. 1 Sept 1856 Scott Co VA to Mary Kilgore b 16 Nov 1839 Scott Co VA d 1880 War Gap, Hancock Co TN; d/o Stephen Kilgore and Elizabeth "Betty" Allen. The story goes on about "Big William", when he was near 80 years old he was rumored to have been caused to be mixed up the Pentecostal religion by his son, Stephen Lincoln Price McConnell. "Big William" had a full white beard and he was last seen by his son Henry. Henry left "Big William" sitting on the porch sharpening a butcher knife on a whitrock. When Henry returned to him, "Big William' had cut his own throat with the butcher knife. There were several with the name William G. the family so this William G. was known as "Big William". He was a Private General Stonewall Jackson's Army of Virginia and he was General Jackson's blacksmith - so the story goes. Someone of his descendants showed another member of the family a picture of him and General Jackson and his horse being shod; however, the picture disappeared about 1975. Another story says that "Big William" came back home from the Civil War and cleared up some land on his father's farm. Thomas' second wife, Mary Davis McConnell, evidentially would not let him farm it so he packed up his family and went about 30 miles south, down the Robinette Valley of Scott Co and into Hancock Co Tennessee, settling on some land at War Gap. His old log home is still good shape and is located below his cemetery on Clinch Mountain.
