Subject: [CANNON] Thanksgiving Dinner
I would invite my ggggrandfather Lewis Cannon. He married Margaret
McDowell Benton in Stewart County, Ga. in 1838. On the 1850 census for
Stewart County, Ga. there are only two families. He is not there but his
wife and children are on the census. I can found nothing about him. The
other family in Stewart County was Francis Cannon who married Martha
Bachelor. Francis says he was born in Ireland about 1818.
Lewis Cannon's daughter my gggrandmother says on the 1880 census
that he
was born in Ireland also but in 1900 the census says N.C. as her mother was
also born in N.C.
So I would like to ask him about his siblings and parents and did you
die
or just go away? I would also like to know should I be looking in N.C. or
Ireland for the family?
So come on over Lewis, I will be glad to share my turkey, corn bread
dressing, sweet potatoes and pies with you. Pat
