Came from thin air to Henderson Co. in East Texas near Athens.
Married Sarah Ward, daughter of a widow who moved to East Texas in 1860's,
after her husband became a civil war causalty. They probably married in
early 1870's.
Had a son, William Wesley Cannon (my grandfather)in 1876.
Was said to farm and was gone a lot, perhaps a traveling salesman?
Eventually left and never returned when WWC was an infant.
No records in Henderson Co. of marriage or divorce.
Some say he was found years later in Ok with another family, but this is not
confirmed.
I sure would like to find out where this guy came from.
There is a remote possibility that he had relatives in MS, but not sure.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Glenn W. Cannon
