My direct CANNON line:
John CANNON b. 1791 NC d. aft 1870 AL married Parthuna MASON in 1818. I believe that John
and Parthuna are the parents of Eldred. I have gathered this information from land deeds,
etc. in the area. It is however, by no means, a proven fact. Still researching.....
son:
Eldred C. CANNON b. 1820 GA d. ? married Rebecca CROSS in Feb 1841, Tallapoosa, AL. They
had 8 children: Louisa b. 1843, John b. 1845, William b. 1847, Susan b. 1850, Matilda b.
1852, Wilson b. 1853, Joseph b. 1857, and Leasy b. 1860. I found them on the 1860
Tallapoosa, Youngville, Alabama Census (Taken in Sept 1860)
son:
Wilson CANNON b. 1853 AL married America A. WOOD in Jan 1876 in Tallapoosa, AL. They had
at least 3 children. John b. 1877, Nora b. 1879 and Robert b. 1881
I found them on the 1880 Hackneyville, Tallapoosa, Alabama Census with children John and
Nora. Robert was not born yet.
son:
Robert Oliver CANNON b. 1881 AL d. 1959 LA married Ada Lee MARTIN in Elmore County, AL.
They had 10 children. The first 6 children were born in AL, and the others born in LA.
Robert and Ada raised their family in Louisiana, where they were farmers during the Great
Depression. Robert and Ada were my grandparents.
Would love to make contact with anyone possibly related to this family.
