Yes, I have quite a bit of info, but nothing to prove who his father
was
or
where he was born. However, I do believe there is a connection
between he
and Pugh Cannon, the revolutionary soldier and son of Lewis Cannon of
Craven
Co., NC. Pugh has a documented brother named John and they seem to
hang
out
together - first in Wilkes Co., GA and then in Maury Co., TN. All of
the
info relating to his family can be found at:
http://www.metronet.com/~jrc/john_cannon.html
Let me know if you find a connection or have additional info.
Any tidbits appreciated!!
J. R. Cannon

What I posted earlier is all I have. Do you have "any" info on
him....like
his children list, for instance. That would tell me if he is mine or
not.
Also a widow at the time of his death.
thanks, Janice (Cannon)
