JOHN S. BURRIS married SARAH ANN CANNON on 27 Aug 1849 in Daviess County
Indiana.
My gr grandfather was their son, Rice Burris. John Burris took his family
to Missouri about 1860. When Rice was 21 he moved to Christian County
Illinois.
I am looking for any information on Sarah Ann Cannon's family in Indiana and
the same for John S Burris.
I am unable to find the above marriage in the Indiana State database.
Most Daviess/Martin Co Cannons descended from early settler James Cannon..but
I have no such Sarah among them. I wonder if this is her second marriage
(First to a Cannon and then, as Sarah Cannon, to John Burris)?

Shows Sarah b. 1825 and both parents born in Virginia. She could be a child
of John, William or James Cannon, sons of old William. But the birthplaces
are wrong for John and William, so that leaves James. Not a lot is known about
him. The others are quite well traced. I only have one child for him...

else is researching that line.
