Dear Tamara,
This entry in the 1870 census is very difficult to read. I found the same family in the 1880 Census and am including it here also for comparison. The surname in the 1870 Census is definitely Connolly or Connelly but it appears as Connor in the 1880 Census and I can't explain why except that the censuses are notorious for errors.

1870 Census of Brown County Illinois, Elkhorn Twp
34/34
William Connelly 33 m farmer Ireland
Mary Connelly 30 f Ireland
Patrick Connelly 7 m Louisiana
Margaret Connelly 4 f Louisiana
William Connelly 2 m Illinois
Mary I Connelly 4/12 Illinois

I believe that William Connelly is part of our ancestors.  Is there
anyone else enumerated with William, any information is greatly
appreciated
E34 is where he is located on your record.
Thank you in advance  Tamara Underwood  unde4@sierritel.com
