He moved from Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, to the vicinity of Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1803, and three years afterward located in Franklin. [HVC 1890, 162]

William Connely came to Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1806. He was surveyor, politician, mer-chant, preacher, and in all used diligence and was an important man in his day. He was county surveyor in 1817 and again in 1840-45. He repre-sented the county in the legislature from 1819 to 1821, and was appointed associate judge in 1862. [HVC 1890, 350]

In 1806 he came to Franklin and was actively identified with the early religious and social life of that town. He was a local preacher in the Methodist church and one of the first members of the organization at Franklin. His principal occupation was surveying; he was county surveyor in 1817 and in 1840-44. He also served as justice of the peace and associate judge. In politics he was a Whig. [HVC 1890, 760]
