1865-about=David died in Prison Camp
Mary Nell Thomason Gragg (granddaughter) letters:
"Abraham Burrus Cannon was an orphan when his father died in Prison in St. Louis,MS during Civil War. He his
mother, and sister went to St. Louis to try to get father out of prison. Sister and Mother died of smallpox, after they
found their father already dead." ( Prisoners contracting smallpox are thought to have been sent to Small Pox Island
(McPike's Island) in the middle of the Mississippi River and offshore from the Alton, Illinois POW camp also The
Encyclopedia of the History of St. Louis (1899), which says:
"The quarantine establishment answers as a quarantine and small-pox hospital, and is located on a tract of land of
about fifty-four acres, which tract is on the west bank of the Mississippi River, about one and one-half miles below
Jefferson Barracks. It was purchased by the city in 1856 for a quarantine ground... At the extreme west end of these
grounds is a cemetery which was used up to 1877 as a burial place for the pauper dead of the city and the patients
who died in the hospital on the grounds. --D. H. Rule )
Where were the dead buried?
Most were buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery (you can search burial listings here). Some were claimed
by families and taken home for burial. Some--particularly smallpox victims--were buried in cemeteries at the small
pox hospitals or on a Quarantine Island in the middle of the Mississippi River. "

1880 in Census,Sumner,Ms.?
I belive I know a little about the Cannon family you are asking about. In 1880 Charles C(Carroll?) and his family
were in Sumner County, Miss.(pg. 371); earlier (1860-can't find them in 1870), I believe he was in Choctaw Co.,
Miss (pg. 404) with his mother Leah Cannon. If this is the correct family, I believe you will find them in 1850
Alabama, Monroe County (pg. 8) father David, mother Leah; 1840 Conecuh Co, Al, pg. 270; 1830 Monroe Co, Al.
pg. 036. Interested in sharing. I want to know more about David and Leah, as well as the rest of the family.
Margaret Cannon, (who I believe was a daughter, married 16 Oct. 1849 in Monroe Co, Al to William M. Pritchett
(they were my gr,gr grandparents)

1900 Leon Co., TX Census say parents of A.B. Cannon were from TN
Ms. Gerry Hill,
So far, the sketchy info. I gave on David Cannon says he is my ancestor. He would be my GGG Grandfather on my mother's side. I don't have census records or prison records placing him in St. Louis in the 1860's.
If you have any info that could point me in the right direction of David and Joshua and parents or any other siblings, that would be helpful. I will continue to search SC records, however, the census info. gets pretty vague around 1840 and before.
Thanks for contacting me,
J. Walter Rainbolt

I have notes from my grandmother ( deceased) regarding A. B. Cannon and his dad quoted as follows:
Mary Nell Thomason Gragg (granddaughter) letters:
"Abraham Burrus Cannon was an orphan when his father died in Prison in St. Louis,MS during Civil War. He his mother, and sister went to St. Louis to try to get father out of prison. Sister and Mother died of smallpox, after they found their father already dead."
I have census notes and records from another cannon researcher stating where David Cannon was as follows:
March 2004
Joel E of Wilcox Co Al b a 1797,George Pliney b a 1799, David 1814, and John E b 1832-are siblings.
I show John E married Elizabeth Kearley and had William Burris 1851,Corrine 1856, Mattie 1858 and Ann 1963- no more on these.
and that Elizabeth had by Amos Stacey Mary Martha, Andrew Jackson, John Monroe and William- no more on the other 3 of these.
I know because of close association in Monroe Co Al-and marriages etc. that the two Cannon bunches will join somehow-just not how yet.
Will study the balance of your very interesting note-and get back.
Ms. Gerry Hill
