Carol,
My Benjamin Bartlett Cannon (b.1801 Jefferson Co, TN) was an early
county clerk for Hamilton Co,TN. In the 1840s the county seat was not
Chattanooga. It was first at Poe's Tavern, then Dallas and then later
at Harrison Landing.
Bartley Cannon, born in 1769 VA, was cousin to my B.B. Cannon. He and
B.B. Cannon were active from 1830 onwards in the purchase of lands in
Hamilton County.
Bartley's wife Jane was said to be from Georgia. This Bartley and Jane
Cannon are very likely to be related to your Jane Cannon. He died in
Hamilton County.
My B.B. Cannon was in Rusk County, Texas by 1847.
You might wish to investigate the book "Hamilton County Pioneers" by
John Wilson. It is available from the author for $28. John Wilson 2815
