Below is my CANNON line from John CANNON to my Father, William Ernest
CANNON. I have chased John from Wilkes Co., GA to Maury & Giles Cos., TN,
where he owned land and died. I'm not sure where or when John was born, but
SC is where his wife says she was born. John's oldest son, Henry B. Cannon
(my GGGF) migrated to TX in 1838 with his brother, Richardson W. Cannon.
Both received land grants from the Republic of Texas. Richardson W. moved
to AR while Henry B. set down roots in Harrison Co., TX.
Thanks,
J. R. Cannon
