RE: Jackson Cannon and Phebe Pate, 1st marriage; Jackson and Mollie (Mary
A.), 2nd marriage.
Children of Jackson and Phebe:
Mary Miranda b 1845
Henry Jackson b 1847
James A. b 1849
Susan Ann, b 1850
William T. b 1852
Catherine b 1855
John Erwin, b 10 Mar 1860
Celeste A. b 1867
Children of Jackson and Mollie
Jackson A. b June 1877
Jesse Newton b 5 Jul 1881
Perry Burton b 12 April 1885 (my Cannon's grandfather)
Someone wrote me to tell me that they didn't think Troy, AL could be in Dale
County, AL.
I do think that I have the place of Jackson's birth wrong in the first
query- I found Troy, AL and Dale County, AL as his birthplace, so I assumed (never
assume), that Troy was in Dale County, which it isn't, at least not now.
Troy is in Pike County, AL.
I found some information on
Ancenstry.com, but it conflicts with what I've
found myself. Henry Jackson Cannon, son of Jackson and Phebe, couldn't have
been born in 1877, because he was listed in the 1860 census and he was married
in 1877. I haven't used any of the Family Tree information that I've found
on
Ancenstry.com, because there are too many mistakes in the postings!
I believe that birth date used for Henry Jackson Cannon is that of Jackson
A. Cannon, son of Jackson and Mollie, born in 1877..........
I went to Florida last June and spent some time at three locations, Suwannee
River Library in Live Oak; Elmer's Genealogical Library in Madison; and the
County Court House in Live Oak.
By the way, the census records for this same family are quite comical!
Thanks again, Linda Conn
