LONG-LIVED AND NOT-SOs

When My great, great, great, great, great grandfather, James Connally immigrated from Dublin, Ireland to Virginia in the 1670's, it was customary to return to Europe to have children....Thomas Connally, when his wife Anne Mayfield conceived James, took the long voyage to London that their offspring might have a greater opportunity to survive.....Upon his return to Virginia, he grew ill and, at 49 died. Interestingly enough, his Father who died in his late 80's outlived 3 wives, who bore him 28 children!
