Hi Joy,
Thanks for the info on Ellis's ancestors, John, et al! I will save it and enter it
on my genealogy program as soon as I find a more substantial connection between him and
"my James". Though if Joseph Gainey and Faye Berry could not find one after so
many years, I think I am in trouble here.
I know, through a 1999 -?- post from Faye Berry that there are others looking for George
Huffman Cannon and George Ellis Cannon's line. I hope someone who knows more can and
will post to this list.
According to the 1850 census, James Cannon (father of Thomas, George, Harriet and Berry
and husband of Elizabeth; all of Spartanburg, South Carolina) would have been born about
1787. I probably made a typo somewhere with another year, sorry. I got that year by
subtracting his given age (63 years) from the census year.
There is a query from Gladys; Re: James Elliot Cannon/Catherine Van Horn. I have not run
across him in my search, sorry. If any one else has information on him would they please
post, too.
Many thanks, again;
Roberta
