Hi Carol,
I do not find a Elred C. Cannon associated with the Everett Cannon Family
in Tallapoosa County Alabama. Could it be that when they looked at the
record for the grant they couldn't figure out the name and to be sure they
printed both Everett and Elred for the same grant. I will keep alert for
your Wiley Jackson CANNON who married Harriet Elizabeth BROWNING.

Douglas,
Who is Eldred C. CANNON? He got a land grant in Tallapoosa county
the same day Everett did - March 1, 1858. I had figured they were
twins, but had wondered what if any kin they were to my g2gparents
whom I am researching from that area.
Wiley Jackson CANNON, gunsmith, b.18 Feb 1817, NC, d. 1891, Ashland,
Clay County, AL, m. Harriet Elizabeth BROWNING, b: 1828 in GA, and d:
May.30.1878 in Jackson's Gap, Tallapoosa county, AL. They married in
Muscogee County, GA, in 1859. Their known children, b. in
Chattahoochee county, GA, were Elizabeth Jane, b: 1861, Eliza M., b:
1865, Wiley Andrew Jackson, b: 1868, and Martha C., b: 1871.
I can find no clues as to parents for Harriet.
Carol
