I am looking for parents or other descendants of John F. Cannon born
Virginia 1805 died after 1884 in either Ritchie County West Virginia or
other points west. His children: John T. Cannon b. 1830 Front Royal
Virginia, thought to have died shortly after Civil War; James H. Cannon
b. 1832 Front Royal Virginia, died Grain Valley, Jackson County,
Missouri 1880. Richard Cannon b 1834 Front Royal Virginia thought to
have died shortly after Civil War; Mary Elizabeth Lohr Cannon Roberts
born 1838 married Robert Richard Roberts. She died Shippensville,
Pennsylvania 1925. She lived adult life in Wirt County, West Virginia.
Minerva Cannon married George W. Kisner and then John Greenhill. She
was born 1839 died 1938 in Moosejaw Canada. Susan F. Cannon born 1841
married Hugh Phelps died in Port Angeles, Washington 1940. Other
children included Zora, Jennie O who married Rector.
John F. Cannon was a "Paymaster to Postmaster". I have found
documentation for his bonds of 10,000 dollars and $5000. in Warren
County, West Virginia. He appears on only one other document which is a
jury record. He reports 1880 census that he and both parents were born
in Virginia. For a very long time in my book he has remained
parentless. Any help would be most appreciated. I simply do not
understand how he can have so many dollars and never buy land or record
a deed....

I'm a descendant of Joseph Cannon (1760 - 1843) and Nancy Sitton (1765 -
1845), both born in North Carolina. I am searching for the parents of
both Joseph and Nancy, who were settlers of St. Charles County, Missouri
in 1811.
