Bev, Linda and others interested:
I did have Nathaniel Cannon's (Laurens Co.) birth date or possible date. My
James Cannon (wife Juretta ?) was born abt 1797/98. The only Cannon in
Laurens Co. at that time was a William Cannon and years before the census
there was another William Cannon, possible father of the 1800 William Cannon
(or grandfather). I am thinking this is my James Cannon's line, but can't
find any documentation to prove it. I do know the first William Cannon in
Laurens Co. came into SC and to Laurens about 1763/65 from a record dated
then where he came into Charles Town by ship. I haven't been able to
determine the name of the ship which arrived in Charles Town at that time.
I also am aware Nathaniel and his family moved on to GA and started a church
there. My great grandfather was Nathan Cannon and he was a son of James.
James' first son was James, which would indicate he was possibly named after
his grandfather, making James1's father to be a James also. However,
sometime the first son was name after his oldest uncle. So, Nathaniel would
appear to possibly be James' brother, in that case. According to when
Nathaniel was born, I am wondering if he is possibly my James' brother or
uncle. It would be great to find out! I still believe William may be his
father's name, but the youngest of the sons was named William. My father
was named Charles William Cannon, but I don't know how he came to be named.
He did have an uncle Will. He had two older brothers, Marvin and John J P
(named after John J. Perishing (sp)). His Dad was John Henry, then
Nathan>James. James' other sons were Capers Bowman Cannon,
John Ransom
Cannon, Pinckney Cannon, Benjamin Cannon, and William N. Cannon - all
born
from 1833 to 1850. They all served in the war and William was kia at South
Mountain, Md and Capers "Bowman" Cannon was kia at Spottssylvania, VA.
James and "Ritta" had daughters, ELizabeth, b. 1830, Caroline, b. abt 1835,
Mary, b. 1835, Jane, b. 1842, and Octavia, b. abt 1850. Nathan and John
Ransom basically grew this family. John married Rebecca South and they had 4
sons and 2 daughters, all born between 1857 and 1878 in Laurens Co. Nathan
married Laura (Lura) J. Bagwell and they had 6 sons and 6 daughters.
Several never married.
Good Hunting everyone and please let me know if you come up with anything
connecting these Williams, James, and Nathaniel. Anyone have any
suggestions?
