He was born and raised in Bedford, Tennessee,[3] the son of Neely S McConnell and Martha Jane Morton,[4] married Elizabeth Pokorney[5] (born 1895 in Illinois[6]) and lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[7] They had three children, 1 boy and 2 girls, although Elizabeth's age would imply that the first child (born about 1909) may have been from an earlier marriage.[8] George McConnell is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery, Chattanooga.[9] [10]
