Other facts:
The earliest I have been able to locate John CANNON is 1793 in Wilkes Co., GA. While in
Wilkes Co., he was closely allied with the Richardson Family. (Henry B. married a
RICHARDSON and John named his second son RICHARDSON.) About 1807, these 2 families and
several others migrated to Maury Co., TN. His 2 sons migrated to Texas, Richardson
arrived there about 1836 and served as a doctor during Texas fight for independence.
Henry B. moved there in 1837. I descend from Henry B. and his wife, Anna RICHARDSON.
