Does anyone know of a N.T. ( Nathan[iel] Thomas[Tom] ) Cannon
of Western Ky ? Probably Hickman, County. Born circa 1842.
I've posted this msg. many times in hopes that a new Cannon cuz will
be able to link me to this ancestor. The only concrete knowledge I
have of him is his civil war unit down to the present. I can not get
a handle on his census data, not to mention his tree.
He most likely went by the name of Tom. He was a member of
Company A. 2nd Ky Inf (MTD). Of course they did not become
mounted infantry until the Atlanta Campaign was about over.
He was one of the Orphan Brigade Soldiers who did not return
to Ky.
He settled in Lincoln Co Ga and lived in that area until his death
in 1917. He's buried in Westview Cem. Augusta, Ga.
His marker reads. Ensign N.T. Cannon
Co A 2nd Ky Inf (Mtd)
CSA
1842 - 1917.
Thank You,
