Janice,
This is the information I have:
"The earliest mention of the arrival in America of a person of the
CANNON name is found in the passenger list of the ship Fortune. On the
11th day of November, 1621, the Fortune anchored at New Plymouth, her
passengers 'Being parts of families, with others left in England by the
Mayflower the year before.' By this arrival the Plymouth Colonists
received a charter procured for them by the adventurers in London, who
had been originally connected with the enterprise.
Among the thirty-five persons booked on this passage was one, JOHN
CANNON. (New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol I, page
124). No further mention of this "First Cannon in America" has been
found, and as his name does not ocur at the division of the cattle in
1627, it is probable that he either died, returned to England, or
emigrated to some other colony."
