Introduction

Come with us on a journey through time. Beginning in the 1800's with James Conner (the son of a former slave from the Spartanburg area) and his wife Anna Wise, the Conner family has both seen the depths of darkness and at times soared on the wings of angels. Through it all they continually found their strength in an abiding faith in God and a profound love of family.

Theirs is a story not so different from other American families and yet with moments of such uniqueness deserving to be chronicled lest the children of a later generation forget their significance. The telling of that story will be the ongoing mission of this web site ..... a journey of discovery, pictures and words giving a glimpse into nearly forgotten moments, and the vision of a bright future.





A Family Blessing

Father, let Your blessing rest on our homes. Help us show our loved ones an added tenderness, for the time to love is short. Enable us to be patient and forgiving, courteous and considerate to each other. May we pray together, work together, and stay together in glad days and sad days. Let us always be totally loyal to one another. Enable us to keep loving the members of our family even if they hurt and disappoint us. Grant us good health and Your protection wherever we may be. May all members of our family put their trust in Jesus as Savior, faithfully follow Him a Lord, and finally be accepted into Your eternal home.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen

The Conner Family wishes to give credit and our heartfelt appreciation to Harry Conner and his wife Jacequalyn for their unfailing dedication in seeing this project carry on and for the design of our family crest (pictured below) which has been incorporated into the heading of our web site pages.
