Regina, Janice, Joey, et al;
Joey Gainey responded to another post I made earlier (specifically about Ellis
Cannon's will) about James Cannon and Ellis Cannon being related. He said that the
only clue James Cannon is related to Ellis Cannon was that James signed as witness to
Ellis Cannon's pension application. He said he and his mother (Faye Berry, I think)
had been searching for James Cannon's parentage for over 25 years and the preceding
bit was the only indication of a connection that they had found.
James Cannon of Spartanburg is my gggrandfather, Berry Cannon (i.e.. James Berry Cannon)
is my ggrandfather, Ayme Etta Cannon is my paternal grandmother. James, his parentage,
and spouse are points that are lost to me and my kin. The only info I have so far on James
is from the 1850 Spartanburg District census.
Thanks for all your responses!
