"In the spring of 1809, Andrew Conner, with his wife and seven children, came down the Ohio in a small boat, from his home in Mercer, Pa., and settled in Kentucky, opposite New Richmond. In 1813 he came to that part of New Richmond called Susanna, where he died about 1847. Of their children, four were the offspring of his wife's former marriage with a man named Lewis, and one of these, George Lewis, died in 1821. Of the Conner children, John, the eldest, began steamboating in 1832, and for thirty-six years was engaged in that occupation, chiefly as captain of steamboats on the Ohio. He is yet a citizen of Ohio, living above New Richmond ; and his brother, Andrew, is a pilot on the river. Several of the daughters married Daniel Light, Elisha Piper, and Newel E. Walton."
