Canning/Cannon family of Cumberland County
I am interested in my Canning roots from Cumberland County.
My Grandfather was Lloyd Canning, b. 1900 in Springhill, Nova Scotia.His parents from Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, were Leonard and Anne MacDonald Canning. Leonard Canning was born about 1873 in Diligent River, Nova Scotia.
My GG Grandparents were Stephen Colby Canning, b. 3 Jun 1838, d. 6 Dec 1917 and Angeline Smith Canning.My GGG Grandparents were James Cannon, b. 16 Jul 1797 and Amelia Jane Vickery Cannon, b. 1 Aug 1797.Both James and Amelia were born in Diligent River, Nova Scotia.My GGGG Grandparents were John Cannon, b. 1751 in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia,and Lucy Davison Cannon, b. about 1755 in Preston Connecticut, USA.
My Grandfather Lloyd Canning died a young man in 1935 before I was born and I never knew much on this side of my family.Any information on these family roots would be appreciated. My Dad was born Leonard Canning after his Grandfather.I am also interested in the MacDonald family as well as the Smith, Vickery and Davison families married into the Canning/Cannon family.Did the Cannons come from Halifax?
