My grandfather was John David Cannon, in some documents referred to as J. D.
or John D. He was born in Feb 1865 in Alabama and died in 1935, probably in
Coffee Co., Alabama, but possibly in Muscogee Co., Georgia.
Apparently, he had two wives. The first was Elizabeth, born Apr 1870,
Alabama.
They had three daughters: Minnie, born Sep 1890, Pearllie, born Aug 1846, and
Liddie, born 1902.
The second wife was Annie Mae Tucker, my grandmother, born May 1884, Alabama,
died June 1947 at Columbus, Georgia.
They had two daughters: Agnes Lela Cannon, born Sep 1910, died Oct 1990, and
younger sister Metha, born about 1920. Metha had several children, probably
still living.
In the 1900 census, GF Cannon was enumerated in Precinct 11, Simmons Mill,
Coffee Co., Alabama. I have been unable to locate Simmons Mill or Precinct 11.
In the 1910 census, he was in Precinct 15, Deanville, Coffee Co., Alabama.
Deanville is now named Jack and is in north Coffee Co.
In the 1920 census, he was in Columbus, Georgia, on River Road, with wife
Annie and daughter Agnes.
From talking to older people in Jack, Alabama, I gather that the
children of
Elizabeth may have settled around Elba, Alabama.
I can use any help finding the parents of John David and his wives. And
anything on his children. :-) I am the son of Agnes, so I can handle that
part! :-)
All responses will be appreciated. Especially those from Cannon descendants
around Elba and Jack!
Good luck on your searches,
