James M. Cannon b. May 1830 in TN d. Apr 26, 1904 Ripley, Lauderdale Co., TN married Nancy
Chipman b. July 1834 in Jackson, Madison Co., TN d. 1920 Lauderdale Co., TN
We can trace him from 1870 forward. However, this is the only James that I was able to
find on census (prior to 1870) of a close age and near Madison county where my family
believes he originated from.
In the 1880 and 1900 census James states his parents were born in Tennessee, these
individuals were born in North Carolina and based on ages, these may likely be his
grandparents (if this is my James). Need more investigation.
Seeking any help or information on this family
