Well, since the list is running slow. I will throw my two-cents in there
LOL ! I too am searching for ancestors of a Margaret E. Cannon, but of a
different birthdate and place. I did get some tidbits of new info. this
week so I am on a fresh trail. ; )
Margaret Ellen/Ellendor Cannon
b. 1816ca. Ky
m. Oct. 13 1835 Montgomery Co. ILL
d. bef. 1873 prob. in Stoddard Co. MO
Spouse: Darius Wilson Harrold/Herald/Hearld (remarried Stoddard Co. MO in
1875 to Isabella Pucket)
Father: Thomas Cannon of Mercer Co. KY d. bef.1873
Mother: Unkn.
Children:
Richard Thomas Harrold
Mary Elizabeth Harrold m. T.J. Dickey
Nancy Harrold
Henry Harrold
John Wilson Harrold
James Elwood Harrold m. M.C. Marvis 1869 d. bef 1871
Martin Benjamin Harrold b. 1851 IL d. 1901 Ok. IT
Ellen Harrold (maybe)
I am told that the following are siblings to Margaret E. Cannon Harrold:
William Cannon b. 1809 m. Catherine Loving
John Cannon m. Milly Hardin
Charles Cannon m. Catherine Stamm
Nancy Cannon m. Thomas W. Heady
I do not know the heritage of this Cannon family. But, do know that Darius
Wilson Harrold was born a Quaker...but was no longer Quaker when he married
Margaret Cannon. I have been told thru "family lore" that we do have
Indian Heritage through our Harrold Branches...but I am unable to prove this.
All ancestors before Darius were Quaker on all sides. But, do not know
anymore on the CANNON Branches.
My Ancestor, Martin Benjamin Harrold did migrate to the Choctaw Nation of
Ok. IT and died there in 1901. A white man living in CN in this timeframe
had to have permission to do so or be Indian in some why. Am planning a
trip to Okla. Hist. Soc. to lookup old Choctaw Nation records. Wish me luck
!
