George "Peg Leg" Shannon: d. 1836 Palmyra, MO
George Shannon was born in Pennsylvania in 1787, of Irish-Protestant ancestry. One of the "Nine young men
from Kentucky," Captain William Clark enlisted Shannon at Louisville on October 19, 1803, he was a relative of
Governor Shannon of Kentucky, and at age 18, was considered mature for his years. George Shannon was the
youngest member of the expedition.
Enroute, Shannon, the "tenderfoot" of the expedition, showed a talent for getting lost. On August 26, 1804, the
party was nearing modern Yankton, South Dakota. Shannon was detailed to search for the expedition's two
accompanying pack horses, which had strayed during the night. Shannon recaptured the horses, but upon returning
to the river, he proceeded upstream, expecting to join his comrades at one of their night camps.
Shannon, who actually had been ahead of the boats for more than two weeks, finally rejoined the party on
September 11. Clark wrote that that Shannon "nearly Starved to Death, he had been 12 [of the 16] days without any
thing to eate but Grapes & one Rabbit, which he Killed by shooting a piece of hard Stick in place of a ball...the man
had like to have Starved to death in a land of plenty for the want of Bullitts or something to kill his meat."
After completing the expedition Shannon signed on to return Chief She-he-ke to his tribe. On this trip Shannon
lost a leg in a fight with Indians. In later years he became a circuit court judge and died at Palmyra, Missouri, while
holding court.

22. PRIVATE GEORGE SHANNON.
Born in 1785 in Pennsylvania, hence only eighteen when he joined Captain Lewis at Maysville, Kentucky, on October ig,
1803. His family had moved to Belmont County, Ohio, in i8oo. He is listed as one of the "Nine young men from Kentucky."
His brother, Will iam, later was a member of Congress from Ohio. George was Protestant-Irish, a good singer, hunter and
horseman. He frequently was lost, but always managed to get back to the main party.
After the expedition, in 1807, he was one of the force under Ensign Nathaniel Pryor which attempted to return Chief Shahaka
to his home among the Mandans. While the party was halted by the Arikara, Shannon was shot in the leg, which, after much
sufferi ng, had to be amputated at St. Charles, Missouri. In 18og he was in St. Louis, and in 1813, by an act of Congress, was
pensioned for the loss of his leg. During 1810 he assisted Nicholas Biddle edit the Lewis and Clark journals, and undoubtedly
added some details to their notes. In 1813 he married Miss Ruth Snowden Price of Lexington, Kentucky. Clark offered him an
opportunity to go into the fur business with him and others, and suggested that the firm be known as "George Shannon &
Company." Shannon, howe ver, elected to study law at Transylvania University of Kentucky - and also at Philadelphia. By
1818

he was practicing law at Lexington, Kentucky. He was elected a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives in i82o
and 1822. He sold his land warrants for 32o acres to Hon. Henry Clay, who later helped him on many occasions. After his
Kentucky year s, he practised law in Missouri. He was a senator from Missouri for a time, then returned to law. He died
suddenly in court at Palmyra, Missouri, in 1836, aged forty-nine, and is buried in that city."

Notes for William Price Samuel, Jr. (#392):
[William Samuels (1770-1833) and His Descendants, Including Forsee, Branham, Blanton, and Doom Families, by Barbara Carlsson Samuels, 1994, Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland]
William Samuel was born on December 6, 1816, in Kentucky, son of William and Isabelle Price Samuel. He was married on April 30, 1838, to his cousin, Sarah Lavinia Shannon. Sarah, the daughter of George and Ruth Price Shannon, was born in 1820 in Kentucky. Her father had been with Lewis and Clark in exploring the Louisiana Purchase as well as judge and lawyer in Kentucky and Missouri. Various uncles also served in the government as governors and judges. Her great-grandfather came from Ireland to America in 1760, landing in Delaware.
William grew up on the family farm in Kentucky. After his father's death in 1833, William went with his brothers to Missouri. He traveled between Missouri and Kentucky until his marriage. It is believed that William brought his mother and sisters to Missouri to live with his family.
William's name is linked with many events in Hannibal's history. In 1849, he became a partner in the Samuel and Moss Packing Company which was located near the Mississippi River at the foot of North Street. The company had previously been owned by his brother, Richard P. Samuel, and Moss until 1870. The Samuel and Moss Packing Company was the largest industry in early Hannibal owning the largest structure in town. Its annual processed pork was valued at $180,000. Because the work was seasonal, the large building was used for other purposes. In the winter of 1849-50, Thomas Hart Benton, U. S. Senator, was in town for a political rally. The rally was held in the Samuel and Moss Packing Company with a report of over 7,000 people in attendance. Besides the stoves, the room was kept warm by Benton's fiery speech against the Whigs.
William was elected president of the Hannibal and New London Plank Road and Bridge Company in March 1852. This company was to oversee the building of a road about 10 miles in length from Hannibal to New London with a bridge over the Salt River. A bid went out the 18th of March stating it was to be started and finished as soon as possible.
In April 1852, a fire on the levee cost the business of Samuel and Moss to lose abut 14,000 pounds of bacon. The business seemed to grown until about 1856 when they processed 3,500 cattle and 30,000 hogs, but from that year on, the packing industry slowly declined.
In 1860, William was elected to the state legislature from Ralls County (his home was in Hydesburg which is in Ralls County). He died October 12, 1860 at his home, before he was able to serve.
He was a Mason and a member of the Baptist Church. He is buried in the Baptist Cemetery. Sarah became administrator of the estate upon the death of William. The November 9, 1860 issue of the Hannibal Messenger contains an advertisement for the sale of her farm, house, equipment, and much livestock. Deeds show that William owned or rented farm land in the area and that a subdivision in Hannibal was given to the city and named after the family.
Sarah and her family supported the cause of the South in the Civil War. A story says that she went to Washington, D.C. to obtain the release of one of her brothers who was a prisoner of the North. She did not obtain his release, but when she returned home, he was there. He had been traded before she got to Washington. Sarah died January 3, 1864 in Hannibal.
At the end of the war, the Samuel children moved to Texas. The oldest son, Snowden, had been there prior to the war and liked what he had seen. They went to Brazos County and by 1870, were in Dallas County.

Bledsoe. Child of Anna Shannon and Samuel Bledsoe is: i. Sophie7 Bledsoe, born 1841 in Illinois; died 1865 in Waco, Texas. She married Snowden Price Samuel (#1198) 1859 in Ellis County, Texas; son of Sarah Lavinia Shannon and William Price Samuel Jr.; born July 1839 in Hannibal, Missouri; died March 23, 1920 in Dallas County, Texas. Notes for Snowden Price Samuel:[William Samuels (1770-1833) and His Descendants, Including Forsee, Branham, Blanton, and Doom Families, by Barbara Carlsson Samuels, 1994, Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland]In 1859 when Snowden married Sophie, he was the owner of a grocery store in Dallas County, Texas. Records show that he and Sophie sold property in Hannibal, Missouri in August 1859.Snowden enlisted in the Confederate Army serving in Darnell's Regiment, Calhoun's Company, Texas Cavalry in March 1862. He served with this regiment until its capture around Christmas 1862. He then served in Stone's Regiment, Texas Cavalry in the Quartermaster's Department until the end of the war. Snowden served with a cousin of his wife, Fleming G. Bledsoe, having met him in Texas before the war.After the war and the death of his parents, Snowden decided it was best to move his brothers and sisters to Texas to live. Times were not that good in Missouri so he sold what was left of the estate and moved. Snowden and Fleming went ahead of the family to Brazos County, Texas, to lood for a place to settle. It was here that Fleming's parents and the Samuel children came in late 1865. They stayed here only a short time as they wanted to go on to the Dallas area where they knew of good land. They moved to that county, settling in the Lancaster area.Snowden died at the home of his niece, Anne Bussey. He did not have any children. After his death, Eliza moved to Calvert to live with her brother and it was there that she died. She and Snowden are buried in the cemetery in Hutchins, Texas.

Until 1849, the Hydesburg church congregation met in the homes of members, the little old school house, the Grange Hall, or in shaded groves.
Three men gave leadership which led to formal organization of the Hydesburg church, and eventual completion of the first church building. They were Rev. P.M. Pinckard, a pastor; Andrew Monroe, early presiding elder; and Jacob Lanius, a young itinerant minister who became presiding elder. The latter two lived in the community. Andrew Monroe's first wife, Ellen Harrison, died at Hydesburg in 1853. Two years later, at a conference meeting, he met and married Elizabeth Ford, a widow, who was living at the home of her sister, Mrs. William Samuel (Lavinia) at Hydesburg. Elizabeth and Lavinia were daughters of George (Peg-leg) Shannon of the Lewis and Clark Expeditionary force.

In October 1860, William P. Samuel, a highly respected leading citizen, a partner in the Samuel-Moss Packing plant on the riverfront, was buried in the old Baptist Cemetery. The Hagoods, in an article printed in the Courier-Post on July 13, 2000, wrote the following:
"His wife, Sarah Lavinia, was a daughter of Peg-Leg Shannon of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They were rearing their family at the edge of Hannibal, a Ralls County location referred to as Hydesburg. William P. Samuel had been elected to the Missouri State Legislature, representing Ralls County, but he died suddenly before his term was to begin.

George Shannon was born in Pennsylvania in 1787, of Irish-Protestant ancestry. One of the "Nine young men
from Kentucky," Captain William Clark enlisted Shannon at Louisville on October 19, 1803, he was a relative of
Governor Shannon of Kentucky, and at age 18, was considered mature for his years. George Shannon was the
youngest member of the expedition.
Enroute, Shannon, the "tenderfoot" of the expedition, showed a talent for getting lost. On August 26, 1804, the
party was nearing modern Yankton, South Dakota. Shannon was detailed to search for the expedition's two
accompanying pack horses, which had strayed during the night. Shannon recaptured the horses, but upon returning
to the river, he proceeded upstream, expecting to join his comrades at one of their night camps.
Shannon, who actually had been ahead of the boats for more than two weeks, finally rejoined the party on
September 11. Clark wrote that that Shannon "nearly Starved to Death, he had been 12 [of the 16] days without any
thing to eate but Grapes & one Rabbit, which he Killed by shooting a piece of hard Stick in place of a ball...the man
had like to have Starved to death in a land of plenty for the want of Bullitts or something to kill his meat."
After completing the expedition Shannon signed on to return Chief She-he-ke to his tribe. On this trip Shannon
lost a leg in a fight with Indians. In later years he became a circuit court judge and died at Palmyra, Missouri, while
holding court.
