Thomas Terry Connally (born August 19, 1877 near Hewitt, McLennan County, Texas; died October 28, 1963 in Washington, DC) was an American politician, who represented Texas in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives, as a member of the Democratic Party.
Connally was a widower when he married Lucille Sanderson, who was the widow of the other Texas senator, Morris Sheppard [1]. Connally was the step-grandfather of Lucille's grandson, Connie Mack III, U.S. Senator from Florida, and the step-great-grandfather of Mack's son, Connie Mack IV, U.S. Representative from Florida.
