  Notes	Ernie Lunsford quoted the following excerpt from a narrative written by Nora Write in January of 1930: "My great grandparents Samuel McConnell and Nancy Buchanan, were married near Pittsburgh, PA in 1795. With a family of three small children, they emigrated on horseback over an unmarked trail, through the forests, and over the mountains, to Wheeling, WV. Their household goods, cooking equipment, etc., was packed on horses. The mother carried little Agnes, who became my great great grandmother, and a smaller child on the horse with her." [2] (Research):There is a discrepancy between the marriage date cited by Nora White and the dates of Samuel and Nancy's children's birth. Perhaps Nora was mistaken about the marriage date, or 1795 could have been the date the marriage was recorded and the marriage actually took place a few years earlier.
