Hi Maureen,
I don't see any obvious connection between our Cannon families. But thanks
for your reply just the same - it's greatly appreciated.

Hi Nancy, My great grandmother was Margaret Cannon born
around 1856 or so
in Ireland, where I don't know although I do think Galway.
She came to
Boston in 1868 and married Patrick Higgins in 1874. They
had one Child,
Thomas in 1875 and then they went to Iowa for some reason and
had four more children, three of whom lived, Margaret, 1878,
Mary, 1880 and James 1882. In 1885 they have another child,
Bridget Agnes and in 1887 Edward, both of whom were born in
Boston. So somewhere between 1875 and 1885 they were in
Iowa. When they came back here, they lived on Market Street
and Kelley
Court in Brighton and then they settled into a three family
on Blue Hill Ave
in Mattapan. Does this sound at all familiar? Thanks
Maureen
