Hi Tom:
Actually...I'm not positive that Mary's name WAS Fannon/Fannin/Fanning..BUT, she named a son David Fannon COON and there is a grandson named Thomas Fannon COON...so I'm working on a premise that Mary WAS a FANNON as there seems no reason to carry this given name down primary generations without some significance.
Because I know about Mary's husband and not much about Mary herself, I have pasted here some data on him. The reason that John Lewis Coon's wife, Mary, was probably at least IN South Carolina at the time of her marriage, was that's where John Lewis was! Also, all of their children were born in SC. All this to say that who ever Mary was...and KUHN/COON researchers believe her to have been a FANNON (etc)....she had ties to South Carolina early enough to have married there, at the very least.
