Tom,I think we corresponded years ago. At that time and still am
investigating Newton Cannon although not as vigorously. I think Minos and
Tubman and Henry and Waitman are related somehow, but to prove it is
difficult.Do you know who the father of any of them is? I know Henry's
father was James of Northwest Fork who bought land in 1688.Tom I will get
back to you. Right now I am on extended vacation with family and return
home, and my files, the first week in March.Have you tried Google Books? It
requires patience, but the search can be rewarding. I also found Newton,
son of Henry and Francis Cannon, in PA Archives which I never could have
done otherwise.Talk to you later.Kathy
