To Cannon Hassell
My father's name was Ellis Cannon, but more importantly, my GGGrandfather
was a Methodist pastor. He established churches in eastern Kentucky. Do you
know where I could access the Scotts' History of the Cannons United
Methodist Church?
Thank you,
Virginia Cannon Clay

Roberta,
I am descended from Ellis Cannon through his son Lewis. All the information
I have show Ellis as having a son named James born about1788, but my
information shows his wife as Patsy and children James, John D., Sally
(Sosebee), Jesse, and Sarah (Nesbit). Much of my information comes from Lila
Scotts' History of the Cannons United Methodist Church, and research by
William Buce, a descendant through Ellis' daughter Winney Vandiver.
There seem to have been several Cannon families that came through what is
now Spartanburg and Newberry Counties and all of us are trying to find out
how -or if- they were related.

Attn: Cannon Hassell;
I am also a Spartanburg Cannon descendant of James Cannon (b. ca. 1787)
and his
wife, Elizabeth (Weaver). I am unable to link James to his parents
through documentation and wonder if you know of this line of Cannons? If
so, I hope you will post what you have, please.
I believe Ellis Cannon is James' father and I know James' sons are James
Berry, Thomas, and George. One daughter, that I know of, is Harriet. She
never married and lived with my GGGF, James Berry Cannon, until she passed.
This I have from census records and signs are that these were probably the
youngest of James and Elizabeth Cannon's children. There must be others,
older than these, which are listed in the 1850 Spart. census.
James Berry Cannon married Myra Susan Hardin. I have a photo of this
couple.
Regards,
Roberta
