I am seeking information relative to the family of James Cannon and wife Sarah Reed. They
lived probably in the Cherokee Nation of Pendleton District, SC. They probably had Native
American connections. This family was listed in the 1790 Federal Census of Pendlston
County, Ninety-Six District, SC which showed four children, one male under 16 and 3
females. Can anyone give me the given names of these children and any descendants of
them? Did they end up in Georgia?
The James Cannon family was also listed in the 1800 Federal Census of Pendleton District
SC with the family listed as household 363 consisting of one male over 10 and under 16 and
one male 45 and older. No females were in the household. Does this mean that Sarah Reed
Cannon died in the 1790s? What happened to the three daughters?
Sarah Reed was a daughter of William Reed and wife Elizabeth ?. Can anyone provide me
with the ancestry and descendants of William and Elizabeth?
James Cannon was the third son of John Cannon and his first wife Ann ?. The older
brothers were Samuel Cannon who married Lydia Pennington and Ephraim Cannon. There were
sisters: Mary Cannon, Agnes Cannon, Susannah Cannon, Elizabeth Cannon, Margaret Cannon
and Rebecca Cannon. John Cannon and his children made their homes in Newberry County,
SC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Any information is welcome.
