Welcome
First of all, you need to recognize that much before 1900, our last names were widely mangled: Fannon, Fanning, Fannin, Fanen, and so forth. While there are a number of distictly seperate lines in the US before 1800 and some immigrants from Ireland after that point, the spelling is no clue to which group.
Second, the reasonably distict early american lines of the family:
The Connecticut/New York Fannings
The Chestnut Creek Va. John Fannings
The Amelia Co. Va. Bryant Fannins
The Maryland Benony Fannings
Some early Carolina lines
They overlap, often only a mountain away. So be careful
Third, to get anywhere, you need to get back to 1930 and locate probably your greatgrandparents in the 1930 US census. Perhaps try to find a marraige record for Charlie and Mable in Ohio.
Keep in touch.
