Melissa,
I have a William Cannon born 17 march 1809 in Washington Co.,
Kentucky, son of Robert Cannon and Elizabeth Cheatham. I have his
marriage date of 30 Jan. 1880 in McDonough Co., Ill. to Mary West. He
moved to McDonough Co., Ill. in 1833 with his parents and lived there
the rest of his life that I know of. I have no records that he was
married prier to Mary West, but at his age 71 when he married Mary West,
he could have been married before her. My William Cannon has brothers
James Anderson Cannon, Robert S. Cannon and John Cannon and 12 other
brothers and sisters. James Anderson Cannon is my GG Grandfather.

Hello list,
I have made some small headway on my Cannons. My most senior Cannon is
now William Cannon. He was born about 1809/1810 according to census records
in Kentucky. He married Catharine Loving, (born 1809/1810 in North
Carolina), May 6, 1827 in Montgomery County, Illinois.
I have more information on their children, but I am still searching for
William's parents and siblings. By studying census data and land records,
it appears that he may have brothers of similar ages, or cousins, by the
names of James Cannon (in Greene County, IL), Robert Cannon (in Macoupin
County, IL), and John Cannon (in Montgomery County, IL). I am still working
to attain William's marriage certificate, in hopes of learning his parents'
names.
