James Conner was born in 1794 in Ireland. He had an older brother William and they both fought for the British in the War of 1812 during which they saw portions of the United States. James escaped from the Army and joined with the Americans in 1815. In 1817 James married Elizabeth Nicholson in Ohio. The family later moved to Indiana. Children included William John, Margaret, Andrew Jackson, Jane, Mary, Samuel, James, George Washington, Robert, Benjamin Franklin and Elizabeth. Other localities include Oregon, Idaho and California.

Nancy wants to do an interesting school report on her ancestor. (That's fancy for a family member who lived long ago.) But will she remember to stick to the plain truth?
