John,
I don't have anything on your Robert Lee and Ardilla, but you will
find
this interesting:
I have a chart of John and ARDILLACY Gilbert Cannon. He was born in
Spartanburg SC 11/1817..she..SC 1818. John was the son of James Cannon,
b. 1794, Spartanburg, SC and Charity Wyatt, b. 1790, Spartanburg, SC .
James' parents were from Va.
There were other brothers and sisters and children, a large number
moving
on to Ga, Al, Ms. Tx. and Ar. including John and Ardillacy. They were
married
Oct. 10, 1841 and are both buried in Old Union Church Cemetery, Lockesburg,
Sevier, AR. John died Jul 21, 1903 and Ardillay died Aug. 1877. John
remarried
Feb. 2, 1878 to Mary Jane Vaughn. John and Ardillacy had several children,
#8 named Cynthia Ardllacy Cannon, b. 8/24/1859, m. John M Montgomery and
2nd A. T. Lewis. She is also buried at Old Union Church Cemetery with
parents.
Their first seven children were born in Alabama. #8,9,&10 in Arizona and
all are
buried at Old Union. One son (#7) died in CA but was buried in AR with
family.
I don't have any info on the grandchildren of John & Ardillacy, but I know
someone who just may have. Will check with them.
I also have a list of over 1200 connected Cannons from Md to SC to
several
other states including TX. Some of the list is as follows:
descending from Thomas Cannon, b ca 1640 England who came to MD
before 1670 and was in Baltimore, MD by 1695. Between 1722 and 1725,
his grandson James, b 1695, MD and wife, Mary Boren, b. 1695, Swan Creek,
Baltimore Co, MD , were in Of (?), Newberry Co, SC where their son
James(2) was born 12/8/1725. Several of these Cannon families travel
between Md, Mecklenburg Co, NC, Newberry, SC and Va. Then, some go
to Ga, KT, Ill, Mo., TX, ARK, AR, MS, IN,....
James(2) b. 1725 m. Margaret ALexander, b. 1729 Hartford, MD.
They had another son John b. 1727, Of, Newberry Co, SC. m.. Martha
Alexander, b. 1733/34, Coch (?), PA. John & Martha had a son Samuel, b.
ca. 1750. Newberry, SC., m. Lydia Pennington, b. ca 1750, Newberry Co.,
SC.
Well, from this point it gets confusing but from Samuel, born
1750,
there is listed as son of John Nick Cannon, b. 1/24/1842, Graves Kentucky,
and Harriet C. Ross, b. 12/16/1850, TN, ....(11th child)..Moody Cannon, b.
12/1891, CAMPBELL, Hunt, TX, with sp. Jewell Miller, b. 1896, CAMPBELL,
Hunt, TX and (12th child)..W. G. Cannon b. 1892, CAMPBELL, Hunt, TX
This chart also lists a Robert Cannon, b. 3/22/1822 Hawk
Point,
Lincoln, Missouri, son of Samuel Cannon, b. 1786, Robertson, TN, sp.
Temperance Stewart, b. 1793 Wilkes Co, Ga. with brothers and sisters Mary,
Bluford, James Stewart, Jane, John, Elizabeth, Samuel Perry, Lydia, William
Coates, Isaac, Newton, and Rachel and all their children covering states
of
Missouri (mostly), SC, Kentucky, Ill, Nebraska, Ga., NY, and TN.
Is any of this your line? Hope it helps someone out there!
Joye

I am trying to find out something about this gent who married my aunt
Ardella Cannon who was the oldest daughter of Robert Lee Cannon and
Emma Theodocia [Fite] Cannon. Ed Lee was born in 1883 and died in
1958. I think that they were married in either Shackelford, Callahan,
Eastland or Stephens County Texas. Robert L had moved to Texas from
NC in 1907 and settled in Moran, Shackelford County, Texas. I have seen
some discussions/questions about some Cannons in Cisco Texas which
is in Eastland County some 20 miles from Moran. I also remember
something about Ed Lee visiting relatives in Arkansas but nothing
specific.
Would like to find out something since the names were the same.
Thanks
John Sammons
