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
