Just joined the list. At this time I have one Cannon in my
ancestry--per my late aunt's research in the 1960's. She left a family
tree of names but no research notes or references.
My Cannon connection is thru Milcah Cannon (b. about 1760 Dorchester Co
MD - m. Charles Paul) per the family tree information. So far, I have
only been able to locate one individual researcher that has even heard
of Milcah. This source also has Milcah marrying Charles Paul thru
family stories but no documentation. I can positively trace my ancestry
back to Mary Ann Paul (b. about 1811, m. Shadrock Foxwell 10 Sep 1832)
with documentation. Mary Ann is reported to be the daughter of Milcah
and Charles, but I have no proof or another independent verification.
Other Siblings of Mary Ann include: Lovia Cannon Paul (b. 23 May 1808,
m. Stephen Foxwell), Eliza b. 19 Apr 1813, Charles Jackson b. 21 Jun
1815, Leah Ann b.21 Jun 1817, Daniel C b. 31 May 1819, Anna Cannon b. 6
Aug 1822 and George C b. 9 Nov 1829. Charles Paul's parents were George
Paul and // Stack. Milcah Cannon's Parents may have been Levi Cannon
and Lucretia //. (All this information was provided by the same source
mentioned above, but no documentation). I would like to be able to get
more verification of these relationships and to follow my Cannon
ancestry line further back. Any corrections are welcome.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Leigh Sanders
