John - I am very interested in your CANNON line. My gg grandfather was James L. CANNON,
who was born circa 1815 somewhere in Tennessee. I have had some reason to believe that he
may have come from the Hamilton County area, but have never been able to confirm it. One
of his sons was William H. CANNON, born 1849 in Gibson County, Tennessee. Maybe we should
talk some more on this - I would love to determine the parents of James and where he was
born.

Subject: [CANNON] Listowner Post John Cannon and wife, Margaret, Hamilton County,
Tennessee
Dear List,
I am looking for information on John Cannon born about 1802 in Tennessee. He is in the
Hamilton County, Tn,
censuses in 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870.
His wife, Margaret, was born in Virginia about 1799.
Their children were:
1.. George W. CANNON b: Abt. 1824 in Tennessee. Married Martha.
The connection between George Cannon and John Cannon has not been
proven. This assumption is made based on the following evidence.
In the 1840 Hamilton County, Tennessee, census, John Cannon has a male
child in his family whose age matches that of George. That child is not listed
in John Cannon's family in the 1850 Hamilton County census. George, married
to Martha Unknown, shows up for the first time in 1850. He is in the same census
district as John Cannon, ten pages apart. No other Cannon head of household of
George's age has been found in the 1850 Hamilton County census.
George Cannon and his descendents live close to John Cannon and his
descendents in Hamilton, James and Bradley Counties, Tennessee, through
the 1930 census.
James H CANNON b: Abt. 1825 in Tennessee
Francis Evaline CANNON b: Abt. 1829 in Tennessee
Robert Guilford CANNON b: Abt. 1835 in Tennessee. Married Mary A Weedin.
Martha E CANNON b: Abt. 1838 in Tennessee. Married John C Robinson.
Eliza A CANNON b: Abt. 1843 in Tennessee. Married D.C. Blevin.
William H CANNON b: Abt. 1847 in Tennessee. Married Sarah E Mount.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
