I'm looking for any information on this William Cannon:
McMinn County, TN. records:
Marriage Record Book C ...License issued 12 July 1844....
Maletta [Malita?] Crawford married William Cannon 14 July 1844.
(In some records the name looks like Matilda and in some places Malitia
or Mellata. I'm not sure which is correct.)
