Good Morning:
Cannons also came from County Mayo. My great aunt, Bridget Cannon,
daughter of Patt Cannon and Anna Kilgallan-Cannon, was born in 1851 in
the Townland of Altbaun, located between Bohola and Kiltimagh, County
Mayo. She emigrated to America and went to Negaunee, MI. She married
Patrick Flannery in the (Roman Catholic) St. Paul's Church on 7 Aug.
1871. Her date of death is 7 Feb. 1927, Patrick Flannery and Bridget
Cannon-Flannery had seven children.
I hope this helps. Maureen Cannon

Brenda,
To my knowledge, Bridgit didn't come to the states, only her daughters.
I know absolutely nothing about her family such as siblings or parents.
What little information that I have says that Bridgit was born in Tawny,
Kilcar Parish, Donegal and died there. Her daughters, Mary and Anne,
came to the US and stayed with an uncle who I am told was in New York.
The girls later went on to Colorado where Mary married Michael Dalton
and Anne married Joseph Gillam. One thing I have learned about the
Cannons is that there were 3 main groups of them in Ireland. One was in
Co. Donegal, another was in Co. Galway and the other was in Co. Leitrim.
Here is a link to a website that talks about them.

I wish it weren't so tough to find information about the individual
people. I went to
www.familysearch.org and typed in Martin Cannon and
Mary Jane Woods and found this

I am not sure if that link will take you to them but it gives
information on her parents and a son they had. I wish you luck and maybe
we will find that we are distant cousins. Marilee Dalton McQuarrie
Sorry, I don't have any information on Bridgit Cannon, but I have some
questions about her. Did she immigrate to US or just her daughters?
When and where in US did
they
immigrate?
I have Martin Cannon (family lore says from Galway, Ireland) marrying
Mary Jane Woods (born Ireland, arrived in New Orleans, La. 2 Jan 1832)
in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana 15 June 1837. Do you have names of
Bridgit Cannon's parents or siblings? Brenda Cannon Quave
