Hi,
I'd like to chime in on this TN Cannons discussion. I'm especially interested in
the posting by Jan about the five brothers. Three of the five - Elisha, William and
George moved to TN and settled in Robertson Co.
My great, great-grandfather was William CANNON, born 1808-1813 in TN, married Malinda
GANUS and was living in Robertson Co. TN in the 1850 census with eight children: James
Monroe, Parthena, Mary Francis, George Riley, Cordelia, John, William and Sabrina.
I believe I have also found them in Robertson Co. for the 1830 and 1840 census.
By 1860, they had moved to Christian Co. KY.
I have not been able to find out anything more about William or his wife Malinda.. The
1850 census shows a James CANNON and a George CANNON in Robertson Co. Their ages are close
to William's and I wonder if they might be related, perhaps even brothers.
I sure would like to find a connection - any help appreciated!
