Hi Everyone :o)
My name is Linda Lowder and I just joined the list this morning. I am
hoping to learn more about my
great-great grandmother Jane CANNON from my father's side of the family.
You would think with her being my great-great grandmother, I would know
more about her, but my father's family seems to be determined not to give
me any information for some reason.
Jane CANNON was born about 1833 as far as I know. She married Abraham FINE
September 7, 1854. Abraham was born 1822. I do not know when Jane died.
Abraham died after 1880, but I have no specific date of his death.
Jane CANNON and Abraham FINE had the following children:
Rivanna Evaline FINE, b. July 27, 1855
Allen Buchanon FINE, b. MArch 1857
Amanda E. FINE, b. 1859
Argon Dorcas Calidonia FINE, b. 1862
Elijah FINE, b. 1864
Martin Abraham FINE (my great-grandfather), b. May 5, 1866
Edmund Harris FINE, b. 1869
Waaaayyyyy back about 1987 when I first began to research my family lines,
I wasn't very good at making notes and keeping records. I would find some
information at the library and then quickly jot it down, not always noting
the source. One of those times was when I found Jane CANNON in a family
tree with these people in it, BUT she was names Jane BUCANNON or BUCHANON.
Since then, I have not ever found this reference again and don't even know
if it's accurate. She named one of her children Allen Buchanon FINE, but
this may just be a coincidence.
I don't know where Jane CANNON was born, but she and ABRAHAM FINE married
in Washington County, Tennessee and reportedly, this is where Abraham was
born and where he died.
If anyone here has this Jane CANNON in their family line, I would love
hearing from you as I have never been able to link Jane with any other
CANNON families.Even the history of the CANNON family around
Tennessee/Washington County, Tennessee would be great! Thank you!
I find things such as the webpage at:
http://www.modelflight.com/earlycannon.html and even though there is a JANE
CANNON mentioned born about the time my Jane probably was, I have no way to
confirm if this is her family.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Best wishes,
Linda Lowder
