Hub, the things we sit on are sometimes enough to make us CRY...
I went through my Cannon notebook today, to take out what I would want to keep, and am donating that and over 165 others to the library in Dawson Ga...
I found .. from the Ga. Archives- a thing on Charles Andrew Cannon son of my Joshua...and brother of my Mary Carolyn Virginia Cannon...
Charlie married 3 times... He married Ursula Jane West in Fayette Co. 1854 (And one before that im Merriwether Co.) and one after that...I have it all)
He was a Confederate soldier of Coweta Co. Ga. adj. to Fayette. 3rd Sgt. Co. A Reg Ga Vol Inf Aray of Tn... Enlisted Mar 4, 1862. He surrendered Apr. 26, 1865 after Appromatox.
In 1875 he bought two tracts of land totaling 120 acres in Opelika Al for $600. The property was adjacent to John Singleton's and William Broughton's. (I could not find him in the little I have)This is the first actual tie to that name!!!!John Singleton, I think wound up his in-laws with dtr. Ella.Dtr. Ella was married in Lee Co. Al.
So we know the Broughton's went that way too...
I also found- a copy of a letter sent to me from Michael P. Cahill Apr. 1994 in Matairie La to Mary Lee Barnes, who wrote book BROUGHTON DOUGLAS FAMILIES OF EAST TEXAS.. She moved from this Athens Tx. address to Knoxville Tn, but the address I had [email protected] came back...
He referred to her letter of Apr. 10...I won't do more here, but will share it in total with you if you don't have it. He is researching Nathaniel Cannon. And a Nov. 30 1994 letter from him to her...
Charles J. Cannon, son of Nathaniel was also probably in AL. born 1819 he says... Monroe Co Al. Then to Miss. And phone numbers for David Sprinkle? in ayor La Batre Al??
Do you know how William Broughton fits in??? IN OPALAKA??
It kills me that I have been sitting on this no telling how long... and did not connect it...but did KEEP IT...
