Kerry,
My granddad was John Henry Cannon, b. 1882, SC, md Sally Bell Gray, b.
1880. They lived in Laurens Co., SC in Waterloo when they were first married,
then in Laurens Co., near Ware Shoals, SC at Shoals Junction. John's parents
were Nathan Cannon, b. 1840, SC, and
Lura/Lauria Bagwell, b. 1858, SC, Al, or Ms. John's older brother was named
Luther (his maternal grandfather was James L.(Luther?) Bagwell.
I want to think John may have been named after his paternal grandfather
who maybe was named John. There was a John in Laurens in the early 1800s.
There was also a Nathaniel.
I have a copy of a newspaper clipping (probably from a Laurens or Ware
Shoals paper which I have to check out) which reads:
" Nathan, Pinkney, Mary and Jane came with their parents to Boyd Mill
section of Laurens Co. Only one remained."
Then is gives an account of Nathan's and Lura/Lurey?Lauria's children.
(1) Luther Cannon md. Lida (Later moved to Ga)
(2) John Henry Cannon md Sally Belle Gray
Children: Sarah, Pearl, Marvin, Ola, Lillie, Lydia, John Jay,
Charles
(3) William Cannon md Mary Medlock
Children: Nathan, Annie Mae, Alma, Willis, Roy and Hazel
(4) Calvin (never married)
(5) Frank md Mattie Taylor
Children: Mattie Bell, Estelle, Mamie, Clarence, & James
(6) Lida md John Strawhorn
Children: Lucille (was blind), Viola, & Brodus
(7) Geneva md ? . -No children
(8) Lillie md William Hastings
Children: Johnny, Odis, Curtis, Odessa
(9) Mattie md Jeff Allen
Children: Mona, Clifton and dau?
(10) Jeaner md Walter Allen
Children: Melvin, Buster, Minnie Lee, Margie, Lurie
(11) Benjamin Capus md Zonie Nix
Children: Grady, Vashti, George,
Do any of these names look familiar? If you or anyone else
connects with any of these Cannons, please let me know.

Hello, cousins!!
It is nice to have our lists back up! I hope all of you are getting ready
to post a query, if you have not done so since the move to rootsweb - we
have lots of new cousins on the lists, and one of them might be from your
line - several cousins have posted to me this week about fantastic
connections they have made. If you have any difficulty posting to your
list, please let me know -
IF YOU ARE REMOVED from the list BECAUSE OF BOUNCES - don't worry about it;
just resub. It has happened to me on lists in the past, and will again. It
will happen to you if you bounce four times - rootsweb has a feature that
automatically removes anyone after four bounces. This is intended to
protect the computer at rootsweb and is a Good Thing, so we need to just
remember not to get upset if we are removed - if your ISP is down (doing
upgrades or repairs or something) during a busy period, you will bounce four
times, and you will be removed - just resub and don't worry about it. IF
YOU USE AN ISP THAT IS "DOWN" A LOT, I suggest that you switch to
digest(combined posts, usually once a day) mode. You will have fewer
posts(because they are combined), so that will give your ISP time to solve
the problem before you get bounced.
If you were on other surname lists and you have not been informed as to
where they moved, Steve has updated the rootsweb site
http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist
and John at http://members.aol.com/johnf14246/internet.html - Genealogy
Resources on the Internet - tries to keep his list of lists as up-to-date as
is possible.
If you have not sent your snailmail to me privately, please do so in case
you go offline and a cousin tries to find you. Do NOT send these to the
list - I do not advise ever sending your snailmail address or your telephone
number to a list (even if, so far as you know, everyone on the list is your
first cousin and lives next door).
On those lists which currently have demographics projects working - I am
updating the lists as quickly as possible - the recent changes have
definitely wrecked my schedule - hereafter, I will be attending to the
projects in an order decided by the activity of the list, based on the
number of posts compared to the number of cousins subscribed.
Posting to the list, and trying to help each other, can have wonderful
results - I tried to assist one of you in your search yesterday, and now, as
a result of our correspondence, have a wonderful clue for an ancestor that
had been a total brick wall for me!!
Good luck in your searching!!
