After the Civil War, John Henry, William and Walter Cannon, sons of John M.
and Susan Elliott Cannon of Bridgetown, Caroline Co. MD packed their wagons
and moved west. After a short stay in IL, the brothers claimed land in
Clyde, Cloud Co., KS.
William Cannon became a lawyer, married twice 1) Flora E. Kennedy and 2)
Carrie Borton, both natives of Cloud Co. Children were Ruby, John, Bessie
and Margery.
Walter Cannon became a postmaster in Norton, KS and married Mariah Bissell.
John Henry Cannon moved back to MD. But after a round of bad luck, he
settled in Nothumberland Co. VA after Feb. 1874. He married three times, 1)
Ada ___, 2) Georgieanna Morgan of Mathews Co. VA, 3) Ida Massey of
Gloucester Co. VA. John Henry had at least 12 children.
I am always looking for more info on my Cannon ancestors.
Thanks,
Mary
