Not much is known about John C. Conner, Sr. as of this writing, not even what the "C" in his middle name stands for. The historical data seems to indicate that he was born circa 1797, but the exact date and location is unknown. At the present time, we believe he died circa 1855 in Rockbridge County, VA.
We do know he was married twice. On February 12, 1829, he married Jane Tresham, daughter of Robert Tresham. Jane died prior to Oct 1837. On October 10, 1837, John married Margaret Muterspaw, daughter of George Muterspaw and Christiana Agnor.
The minister who performed both marriges was Presbyterian Andrew B. Davidson. This information was taken from the book "Rockbridge County Marriages, 1778-1850" authored by Dorothy and Edwin C. Kirkpatrick, 1985, published by the Iberian Press, Athens, Ga.
His marriage to Jane Tresham produced two sons, James Allen Conner, (my great-grandfather), and John C. Conner, Jr.
The mother of his other eight (8) children was Margaret Muterspaw.
As of this writing, we do not know where John C. Sr. is buried but we assume he is buried somewhere within Rockbridge County, Va. In the New Monmouth Prebyterian Church records, there are references to unmarked graves for a John Conner, Mrs. John Conner, and John Conner's mother, according to Angela M. Ruley's book "Rockbridge County Cemeteries - Kerrs Creek District" published 1989. This may be our John C. Conner but it remains to be proven.
