I am looking for any information on my great-great-grandfather, George W. Cannon, born
about 1824 in Tennessee. He first shows up in the 1850 Hamilton CO, TN, census, age 26,
married to Martha (last name unknown), age 20, married within the year, both born in TN,
no children. They are also in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Hamilton CO, TN, censuses. I have
