Jim and Mary Pat,
I have some information from the Greenville Gen Lib on Simcock Cannon
where a lady in AL or MS had a professional genealogist research this area
unsucessfully on him. I have found where he was listed on one census or
record. I will get this info together and post as soon as possible. Also
have the lady's name and address.
Just recently I posted a Cannon chart which included your John and Hester
Cannon. Let me know if you don't have and I will repost. I didn't get the
response from the posting I had expected.
Joye

Hi CANNON Researchers,
Does anyone have information on the family of John CANNON and Hester or Esther
PLEDGE. After John CANNON died, Hester married Abraham CHILDRES. John CANNON
and Hester PLEDGE had the following known children:
John CANNON b. c1688 Henrico Co., VA. m. Mary PRICE
William CANNON b. c1690 " " " m. Judith WOODSON
Joseph CANNON b. c1692 " " "
Mary CANNON b. c1694 " " " m. William EAST?
The parents of Judith WOODSON (Williams CANNON's wife) are Robert WOODSON, b.
1634 and Elizabeth FARRIS whose sons are documented as being Quakers.
Abraham CHILDRES and two of his step-sons, John and William CANNON, sold land
in Virginia to John Simcock of Henrico Co. (Wm. lived in Goochland Co.)
I'm trying to determine if there is a link between John SIMCOCK (wife
unknown), John CANNON, Hester PLEDGE and my ancestor, Simcock CANNON, b.
c1730.
In the 1790 SC census, two CHILDRES families are living between Russel KENNON
and William KENNON, Greenville Co., Ninety-Six District. Russel and William
KENNON are believed to be the children of Simcock CANNON and Jane RUDD.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
