I have an Ephraim Cannon, born 1801 in Hopkinsville, KY . . . I think he's from the SC
Cannons, but I don't know and I have no info on his siblings or parents so I don't
know if he's the same Ephraim you mentioned below or not.

Subject: [CANNON] John Cannon will proved April 4, 1763 South Carolina
Looking for more info on John Cannon, wife unknown.
His will was proved 4 April 1763 in Craven County South Carolina.
His children are listed in his will: Samuel, Ephraim, James, Mary,
Agnes,
Susannah, Elizabeth, Margate and Rebeckah.
His wife is not listed in his will so I assume she died before him.
He supposedly came to America on the ship Minerva as an indentured
servant
prior to his marriage and the birth of his children. I have not been
able
to find a record of this.
My husband descends from John's son Samuel.
In February 1750, John Cannon petitioned for land on the headrights of
nine children, a servant, his wife and himself, and received a grant of
550 acres on Cannon's Creek. Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Pomaria, South
Carolina, is located on this land grant. The plat of Cannon's survey
shows
a house in the vicinity of the present location of this church. John
Cannon released 175 acres of this grant in 1756 to son, Samuel Cannon
(Newberry Deeds Q-2, p. 376). The Last Will and Testament of John
Cannon
gave the remainder of the tract to sons: Ephriam and James Cannon. Land
was deeded to Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1817 by Philip Sligh with
deed
noting that a family cemetery is nearby (Newberry Deeds Q-2, p, 239).
Thank you for any help you can give,
Carol
