Marker Text:
William Connell came to Texas with his family in 1834. He later served in the Republic of Texas Army, the Texas Rangers, and the Confederate Army. Connell Cemetery, believed to be one of the oldest in Brown County, was probably in use before 1861. When William and Loumisa Wills Connell buried their son William Archibald in 1866, they erected what is believed to have been the first headstone on this site. The last was that of Edward Bruce McCallum, dated 1949. Sixteen families are noted; over twenty graves remain unmarked. Connell Cemetery was deeded to Brown County in 1893. (1997)
* Married by James Floyd, JP.
* As a teenager in 1836, he and his father Sampson Connell, a wagonmaster for the Texian Volunteer Army delivered the last load of supplies before the siege and fall of the Alamo. William fought in the Waco Indian Wars. He later served in the CSA. He was the County Treasurer of Brown County prior to the fall of the Confederacy. Governor Davis appointed William Connell as the Treasurer of Brown County after the Civil War. He served in this capacity until he became a County Commissioner after many years of service.
