By Gaye Holman, LexingtonI think back centuries ago whenever I wander along the shady paths of McConnell Springs in Lexington. The land surrounding where they were camped had been claimed by William McConnell, so the area became known as McConnell Springs. At the time, there were reportedly eight men traveling together: William, Francis and Andrew McConnell; William, Alexander and John McClelland; David Perry; and LeCompte. I feel the men other than William McConnell have been overlooked in the McConnell Springs history. It can be purchased at McConnell Springs.
