Doug Foster,
My GGgrandmother was Martha J. Cannon b. 1844 m. 1865 to Charles Tarwater in
Bedford Co., TN. Charles was from Franklin, Lincoln, Bedford Co., area. Do you
have any connection to Martha Cannon?Randy Winbush
I am currently seeking any information pertaining to the Henry Cannon
who married Polly Martin in Clarke County, Georgia on 24 February 1808.
I think that it is possible that this couple were my gg grandparents.
Questions:
1. Is this the same Henry Cannon who was in Franklin County, GA from
before the turn of the 19th century until the 1820s?
2. Is she the Polly/Mary Cannon who as a widow resided in DeKalb/Fulton
County, GA from 1830 to 1862 or later.
3. Are they the parents of Elijah Cannon. born 1809 in Georgia and who
lived most of his life in Lincoln County, TN and of Almon Cannon (my
great grandfather) who was born 1812 in Georgia and who lived most of
his life in Bedford County, TN?
4. Is the Polly Martin who married Henry Cannon also the mother of John
C. Cannon, William Cannon, James W. Cannon, Henry B. Cannon and a
daughter (given name unknown) who married a George W. or Josiah W. Cash
and had 4 children before dying young?
5. Is this Henry Cannon a son of Willis Cannon of Sussex County,
Delaware and Scott County, KY; a grandson of Henry Cannon and Frances
Newton of Sussex County, Delaware; a great grandson of "Nanticoke" James
Cannon and wife Mary of Dorchester County, Maryland; and a brother of
the Willis Cannon who resided in Bedford County, Tennessee from about
1820 until his death?
6. Is this Polly Martin the daughter of Martin Martin and Dicey Hicks
of Spartanburg County, SC and a granddaughter of Shadrack Martin and
Jane __?__ of Spartanburg or Laurens County, SC and formerly of
Virginia?
Any help will be appreciated.
