Henry Milton Cannon was my g. grandfather. He married Priscilla (Burch)
Burchett She was b. abt. 1833. Cumberland Co. Ky.
I have hit the (old brick wall) on Henry's place of birth or parents. Can
anyone help??
In 1850 they are living in Cumberland Co. Ky. The census lists one child;
Elizabeth Maria. In 1860 they are in Haleys Mills Fentress Co. TN. 1870 Cum.
Co. Ky. 1880 Putnam Co. TN. There I lose track of Henry and Priscilla. They
had twelve children. Some of them married in Jackson and Smith Co. TN.
There is a Joseph Franklin Cannon and wife Milbry both born in TN. listed in
the Cum. Co. Ky. 1860 census.
In Clinton Co. Ky. in this time frame there is a Maria Cannon b.in TN.
Married to Wm. Davis Riddle. It is thought she was first married to a Petty.
They are the only Cannon's in Cum. or Clinton Co. Ky. at that time.
In the 1900. Jackson Co. TN. census Joseph's widow is living with son Tom
I find some of Henry and Priscilla's children's marriage records in Smith
and Jackson Co. TN.
I believe Henry, Joseph and Maria are related but haven't been able to prove
it.
Does anyone know of these families?
