The Cannon DNA project at Family Tree DNA now has 18 participants. We have results back on
15 of these now, one due any day and two more probably 6 to 8 weeks out.
My Cannon's came from Oconee and Pickens counties in South Carolina. My Cannon cousin
who did the test for my line matches another Cannon from Newberry, South Carolina which is
interesting because there is a family story that Newberry, SC is where our family came
from. We have not been able to make a paper connection so far. One of the new participants
in the project is a descendant of John Milton Cannon, a son of Russel Cannon who was also
in the area so I am very interested in that line also. Some people feel that this line may
be part of the Simcock Cannon line, others disagree.
