• Notes

  There are several Isabella Conley/Connelly's in the 1850 census. The one where she is listed as Isabella Conley, age 10, daughter of Hugh and Jane Conley, is not her. I found her transcribed birth record and this Isabella was born on F, 1840 in Bald Eagle, Centre Co., PA and her later husband was William Hayes. There is an Isabella Connelly living in South Ward, York Co., PA in the 1850 census listed at age 16. Her father was not living in the home. Her mother was Sarah, age 58. It was a large family with one older brother having the name of Harry. They were all born in Pennsylvania. A couple of the brothers were carpenters. The last possible match was an Isabella Connell who was the daughter of Alexander M. and Mary Connell. This was again a large family. He was a farmer. They lived in Conemaugh, Indiana Co., Pennsylvania. This ancestor seems to have been married to a Wilmer Rouch according to an 1860 Philadelphia Census and a Martin McGowen in the 1870 Philadelphia Census. The 1870 census appeared to have both of Isabella's children by a Rauch living with her children Isabel and Martin McGowan. The 1870 census gives her age as 30. (F-246 & 246a) Her grandson, Norman, referred to her as spunky "Grandmother McGowan". She was Irish. (F-17) There is an Isabella Rauch, dealer, who had stalls #501 and 503 in the Farmer's Market in the 1861 Philadelphia directory that might be this Isabella. However, her husband is not listed in the directory. It does however, list women with the word widow after their name in the same directory, so she probably is married at the time. (F-452) Isabel is buried at Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia.
