CANNON RESEARCH INFORMATION
My name is Tom Cannon and I am doing research on primarily the Cannon
family from the area of the Northwest Fork Hundred of Western Sussex
County, Delaware and the eastern portion of Dorchester County, Maryland.
I have been doing research for the past ten years on the Cannon line. My
research as been rather narrow in scope, but I now want to broaden it to
touch on links with other families that have intermarried with the
Cannons in hopes of making more progress in researching my roots. I am
also researching the following famiies from this region near Seaford,
Delaware: Prettyman, Noble, Adams, Wingate, and Flowers. Any assistance
or contacts you can provide is appreciated.
Tom Cannon
Georgetown, KY
Here is a breakdown of my information:
I was born in Philadephia, PA; but my link to Delaware comes from my
great grandfather and my great great grandfather who left the Seaford
area circa 1890-1900 to start a dairy and produce business in
Philadelphia. I will start with them:
Isaac Thomas Cannon b. 1873 and Anna Noble b. June 1868
(great grandfather/mother)
Bartholomew M. (Manlove?) Cannon b.1846 and Margaret Ann Cannon b.1841
Note both were Cannons (great great grandfather/mother)
· Beyond this point it gets more sketchy:
· Bartholomew M Cannons parents may be John Cannon 1806-1839) and
Hester Ann Adams b.1815 (I was told she married twice)
REF: Bartholomew M. Cannon (paternal side) his grandparents may have
been John Cannon and Rosannah Wingate
REF: Bartholomew M. Cannon (maternal side)- his grandparents may have
been Charles Adams and Augusta Flowers
· Margaret Ann Cannons parents may be Ebenezer Cannon b.1813 and
Sarah Prettyman b.1822
REF: Margaret Ann Cannon (paternal side)- her grandparents may have been
Levi Cannon and grandmother unknown
REF: Margaret Ann Cannon (maternal Side)- her grandparents may have been
John Prettyman and Ann [unknown last name]
