My name is Mike Wright and I post this to inform that I also have been researching Edward Connely, my great great grandfather. I am in the same dead end you are at. My great grandfather Robert Parlee married Lucy Isabella who's maiden name of course was Connely. I have visited the Mechanic Settlement cemetery and photographed Edward's tombstone. Robert Parlee and Lucy were the parents of my grandfather, also named Edward Connely Parlee, who married Helen Carr (Kerr) who was the daughter of James and Mary Jane Carr, nee McShane. I spent many summers in the Waterford, Cedar Camp, Chamber Settlement, Donegal regions in and around Sussex New Brunswick. My mother Marye was born there.
