I am trying to decide which family in NC is the one of Hannah Cannon.
Hannah Cannon was living with the family of John W. Branch in AL in 1850.
Hannah was born in NC and was born in 1790.
The wife of John W. Branch was Ann M. Surely she was Ann M. Cannon and dau
of Hannah Cannon and her ?deceased? husband. The Branches and Cannons moved
to AL in about 1848 so prior to that time had to have been in NC. All
children up to that point were born in NC.
Living next-door to Hannah Cannon and John W. Branch was James H. Cannon.
James H. Cannon was 3 years younger than Ann W. Branch. Her brother? I
believe so.
Can anyone identify Hannah, Ann W. or James H. Cannon? Was this whole group
in NC and migrated to AL in about 1848? Where did they come from?
One interesting fact that I keep in my mind is that Ann W. and John W. Branch
name their 3rd son [and 3rd child] Ballard Branch. Surely the Ballard surname
plays into this family somewhere. Was John W. Branch's mother a Ballard?
Was Hannah Cannon's maiden name Ballard?
Any help with these NC lines will be greatly appreciated. I am new to NC
research and do not really know where to begin.
Thanks
