I have been trying to trace a William Cannon family of Greenville and Pendleton districts in South Carolina, and believe that William had a son, Jonathan. I think this Jonathan in Greenville District, SC, was the same Jonathan Cannon in the 1850 Cherokee Co., Alabama, census, but cannot prove it. Here is what I think I know so far:
1805 William CANNON sold a slave to Jonathan CANNON on 18 Mar 1805. Wit.: James GILLILAND, Jonathan POTS, John TUBB, J.P. (Greenville Co., SC)
1806 William CANNON of Greenville Co., SC, bought land on s. side of Gap Creek of middle fork of Saluda River, 100 acres, from Jonathan POTTS. Wit.: Thos. CANTRELL, Nimrod CANTRELL. (03 Aug 1806)
1810 Census of Greenville District, SC, p. 452: Jon CANAN/CONAN, living between Wm CANAN and Jon POTS. 1 male & 1 female, both born 1784-1794; 1 slave.
1813 William and Jeaney CANNON sold land in Greenville Co., SC, to Jesse MAYFIELD,
land on south side of Gap Creek of the middle fork of the Saluda River, 100 acres
adjoining Jonathan POTTS and CANNON, part of tract granted to Job COLCOCK
surveyed for Ephraim ELLIS, on 14 Feb 1813, Deed Book I, page 210. Witnesses:
David McBRAYER, Samuel McJUNKIN. [Simcock Cannon and Russell Cannon
also had land in this area in 1786.] I don't know where William Cannon went. Jonathan might have moved about the same time. No records for him were found in SC besides the purchase of the slave.
1820-1850: Jonathan Cannon not found.
1822 Son Irby or Erby Cannon said to have been born in McMinn Co., Tennessee.
1830 Son Thomas Cannon said to have been born in Monroe Co., Tennessee.
1850 Census of Cherokee Co., Alabama, District 27, p. 178, 397/397, enumerated 5 Dec.:

Information about wives of Thomas and Irby is found on the web page of Christine Brodnax, ccbx106@directvinternet.com, on www.rootsweb.com, WorldConnect project, last updated 2 Feb 2003; accessed 26 Mar 2008. Irby was spelled "Erby." She stated that Irby, b c1822 in McMinn Co., TN, d aft 1850, resided Woodland, Hopkins Co., Texas, married Minerva Fuller on 7 Dec 1843 in Calhoun Co., AL. Thomas was b c1830 in Monroe Co., Tennessee, d 25 Oct 1868 in Como, Hopkins Co., TX; m Rebecca Fuller.
If anyone can provide more information about these Cannons, I'd be very grateful.
