Hello Lillian,
I've not done much work on the Cannon side of my family yet. It is my
maiden name. My dad told me one of my grandfather's was from Columbia
County, Florida, in the mid-1800's, but I don't know where that line
originated. The name Peter Reddick Cannon is a possibility for the early
north Florida connection, and John R. Cannon, 1867-1940 is my grandfather.
If you have any information that might help me with this line, I'd really
appreciate it. I might be able to fill in some later information for you
via the work I'm doing on preservation of the old Peniel Baptist Church in
Palatka, and a few family records.
Peter Cannon was an early clerk in the old church in Palatka, and J.J.
Cannon was granted a license to preach there in 1858. This is also the
church where Billy Graham was ordained.
I look forward to hearing from you and sharing information.

Anyone interested in information on the Cannons in South Georgia . . .
names of Charles and David being prevalent? We have done research on our
ancesters and put together a book for our family members, but it's not the
book everyone is talking about. I had no idea there were so many Cannons
all over everywhere! Interesting. We hit a brick wall and could not
document information before 1831, with David C. Cannon born in North
Carolina. He married Mary Ann Catherine Sikes , b. May 4, 1831in Franklin
County, FL. They are buried in Salem Baptist Church Cemetery , Pavo,
Georgia.
We have information (undocumented link to us) but possibly so, on Radford
Cannon, b. abt. 1770 in N.C. Three children: Irvin,Charles, and Ira.
