Frances "Fanny" McGahey (McGaughey) was born on September 5, 1789 in Kentucky. Frances was married on March 10, 1829 in Russell Township, Putnam Co., Indiana to Zadock Conner (son of Daniel I. Conner and Mary). Zadock was born on February 10, 1780 in Montgomery Co., Virginia and died on September 13, 1854 in Franklin Township, Putnam Co., Indiana and buried at the Guilliams Cemetery, Putnam Co., Indiana.
Note: In the 1820 census Frances and Zadock lived in Montgomery Co., Virginia. In the 1830 census they lived in Putnam Co., Indiana. In the 1850 census they lived Franklin Township, Putnam Co., Indiana. Frances was 40 years old when she married Zadock. She probably came to Putnam Co. from Kentucky in the mid 1820's. Court records in Owingsville, Bath Co., Kentucky shows that her father, William McGahey, sold 125 acres located on the east fork of Moffit Creek for 600 dollars silver. In June 1818 a claim was executed allowing him pension for his services in the Revolution. Documents related to this claim indicated that the soldier was living in Putnam Co., Indiana in 1826. William McGahey's family Bible notes the date of her marriage to Zadock and the birth date of Andrew Conner, their oldest child. Andrew is B. J. Conner's grandfather. Frances was the oldest child of William and Prepare (Clark) McGaughey. William was a patriot soldier of the American Revolution. His name is on a bronze tablet in the Putnam Co. Courthouse, along with other Revolutionary War Veterans of the County. B. J. Conner was accepted in the Washington Chapter of Wichita, Kansas National Society of Sons of the American Revolution as a descendant of William McGahey, National Member No. 147041.
Frances was said to have a strange power to cure animals, because of this she was sometimes referred to as a witch, still people did not hesitate to take their sick animals to her. He had a sick horse and expected it to die, they went to Fanny’s house to get her, but she said she was too old to go to the horse, as the horse was not far away they whipped it to its feet and made some progress, after resting, this was repeated until they got it close to her house. She came out and told them to go in the house. Samuel’s wife went in, but Samuel went around the house and watched her from as distance to see what she would do. She put her hand on the horse and talked to her calling her by name, but he could not hear what else she said. In a few moments she called to Samuel and told them to take the animal across the road where there was blue grass and let it graze, which it did immediately. She wanted to teach this strange powers to David Guilliams, she said, she could no pass it on to anyone that was kin to her. David didn’t want to learn, but many years later when it was too late, he regretted it.
