Thus, Russel Cannon/Kennon was born about or slightly before this time. Page 2 of 13 Birth date also determined from South Carolina land record for father, Simcock Cannon. A head of household, after 4 Nov 1755, could obtain 100 acres of land and others in their household, regardless of age or race, could obtain 50 acres of land each. "As of 1763, no person was allowed land for any children of the age of eighteen years or older. A person eighteen years or older was supposed to obtain land in his or her own name (which would have been 100 acres for a single person). Therefore, it would appear that Simcock Cannon had himself, a wife, and nine other
HUSBAND - (Continued) persons in his family. If (presumably his son) were as old as eighteen, he would have had his own grant. Therefore, we may assume that he was not born until c1754. [From letter to Cecilie Gaziano from researcher Brent H. Holcomb on 16 Dec 1791.] Marriage date 1781 from Compendium of American Genealogy, Frederick Adams Virkus, ed.; Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1968 (orig. pub. 1937). This source is known to contain many errors. If 1779 is take as birth date for son William, they were likely married about 1777/1778. They could have married in Tennessee, as Simcock Cannon, Russell's father, was in Washington Co., TN, in 1783. Russell may have been with him. Otherwise, Russell was found in Pendleton District, SC, roughly about this time. Will given in A Collection of Upper South Carolina Genealogical and Family Records, Vol. I; James E. Wooley, ed.; published by Southern Historical Press, c/o The Rev. S. Emmett Lucas, Jr., P.O. Box 738, Easley, SC 29640, 1979. Estate documents allow an estimate of date of death between 10 Jul 1824 and 01 Oct 1824. Juanita Askew of Trafford, AL, a descendant of Russell, also gives citation for will: Anderson Co., SC, Vol. I, p. 283, Section A, 1800-1834. Will made 10 Jul 1824, probated 6 Sep 1824. Grave not yet found. Will of Hannah Rudd dated 02 Oct 1771 mentions her grandson Russell Kennon, no other grandchildren. Russel would have been 16-18 years old then. Juanita's notes point out: Russell's land was in Pickens Co., SC, on Rice's Creek, adjoining John Arial, James Mansel 201 acres, 300 acres/wolf Creek (both sides), joining William Gilstrap, Mary Haynes, Reese Bowen, G. W. Davenport. [NOTE: Russel's son, Elijah, married Dorcas Bowen] Russell's father, Simcock Cannon, accepted an appointment as constable in Prince Edward Co., VA, in the 1750s. Perhaps Russell was born there. Simcock could have been in Henrico Co. or Chesterfield Co., VA, before then, as his father-in-law lived in Henrico Co., and a John Simcock, perhaps his grandfather, lived in Chesterfield Co., next door (Richmond area). 04 Sep 1786 Russel Cannon received a land grant in Greenville Co., SC. 01 Jan 1787 Russel Cannon received 95 acres in 96 District on branches of middle fork of the Saluda River. Plat certified 16 Mar 1786. 20 Apr 1790 Russel Cannon of Greenville Co. sold land granted in 1786. 21/22 Sep 1787 Simcock Cannon of 96 District, SC, leased 105 acres to Russel Cannon of same district, middle fork of Saluda River.

A Compendium of American Genealogy says that, of Distr. 96, S.C., married a Miss Campbell in 1781. This source is known to contain many errors, however. 1830 Pickens Co., SC, census, p. 317: Jane Cannon 1840 Pickens Co., SC, census, p. 370: Jane Cannon The 1850 SC census, Pickens Co., p. 497, showed Jane Cannon living with her daughter, Harriet, and daughter's husband, Abraham Duke, household 669/family 669, and gave her age as 90. Date of birth inferred from this. of birth was given as South Carolina, although this may not be correct. According to the 1880 Census of Pickens CH Twp., Pickens Co., SC, for Harriet Duke, her daughter, both of Harriet's parents were born in Virginia. [Note from C.G.: I am inclined to think that Virginia may be correct.] According to the 1880 census of Grayson Co., Texas, for daughter Martha Brown, both of Martha's parents were born in South Carolina. Materials from Lo Moss Moore and Juanita Askew say that Jane Campbell had a sister, Peggy, who married Harold Clark. [Juanita adds that Simcock Cannon witnessed a deed for Henry Clark involving 180 acres on Broad River in Union Co., SC (no date given).] These Clarks may or may not be related. Accuracy and source of information not known which gives this Campbell-Clark relationship. Era Morgan Davis transcribed the tombstones in the Tabor church cemetery and gave Jane Cannon's date of death as 18 March 1854, at age 98, stated in a letter to Cecilie Gaziano, no date but c.1993. Note from Cecilie Gaziano: I am not sure of the source of date of death as 8 March 1855. CHILD 1 - William Cannon Date of birth from cemetery record, Kemper Co., MS, 1779. Another source says 1781, see below: [This source contains many inaccuracies.) A date of 1780 or earlier fits the censuses for William Cannon. The Compendium of American Genealogy, Vol. VII, (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1937, 1968), edited by Frederick Adams Virkus, p. 707: "Col. William Cannon (1781-1843), in Battle of New Orleans, War 1812, Pickens Dist., S.C., to Kemper Co., Miss.; m. 1801, Cecelia Barton (1786-1840); Benj. [son], Am. Rev.; m. Dorcas Anderson; Thos.

Apparently, the Compendium is the source, erroneously, for the information that Simcock Cannon was also called Simeon. No evidence exists for " Simeon" as his name, however. 1810 census of Pendleton District, South Carolina, p. 145A: Wm CANNON 40001; 1001 1820 census of Pendleton District, South Carolina, p. 170: William CANNON 310001; 12301

These are very likely to be sons of another family, however, as neither one is shown in the 1840 census for William's family. CHILD 2 - Rhoda Cannon An unknown female born about 1790 or earlier was in the 1790 Greenville District, SC, census for. An unknown female born about 1784/1790 was in the 1800 Greenville District census for and born 1784/1794 was present in the 1810 Pendleton District censuses for. She was not present in the 1820 census for Russell in Pendleton District. It is assumed that this unknown female is daughter, Rhoda, about whom almost nothing is known. Her date of birth cannot be narrowed down to anything beyond 1780/1784. Note: Carter Cannon, her brother, born about 1794, had 3 daughters who named daughters Rhoda. These were Martha, Nancy, and Elizabeth. Although several early accounts and letters, which are credible, say she married a Davis, no first name is known for him.

Some people give 16 May 1785 as James's birthdate, and others give 16 May 1788. Dewel Lott used 1785. See, e.g., web page of Judy Dover, jgsdover@bellsouth.net, on WorldConnect at Rootsweb.com, last updated 25 Feb 2007; accessed 24 May 2007. She listed 1785. Three of James's children were born in Tennessee, but the county is not known. It isn't clear where he was in the 1810 and 1820 censuses. 1810 James Cannon, Russell s son, may have been in Tennessee or Alabama; he was not in SC. 1820 James Cannon may have been in Tennessee or Alabama; not in SC. 1830 Census of Walker Co., Alabama: James Cannon 1840 Census of Walker Co., Alabama: James Cannon 1850 Census of Walker Co., AL, p. 311, 170/170: James Cannon 65 farmer 1725 SC

Date of birth from 1860 and 1970 Johnson Co., TX, censuses. July 6, 1980, letter from Marchbanks descendant, Sarah P. Brady (Mrs. St. Clair L.), states that Margret was her name, not Margaret. (At that time Mrs. Brady lived in Tucumcari, NM). It is not clear to whom Mrs. Brady was writing; it was a Mrs. Brinkley. She is now deceased. Mrs. Brady stated that "The family was ready to move to Ellis Co., Texas, where their oldest son was living, when Josiah died, February, 1850. Margret and her children and grandchildren went on to Texas wher she died at the home of her son Jasper in 1874. She must have been buried at the old Lees Academy Cemetery in Johnson Co., Tx., but I have never been able to locate her grave. As has happened so often the stone must have fallen and crumbled. There are no church records giving the date of her death." Mrs. Brady descended from Sarah Jane Fowler, daughter of Thomas Fowler and Ellenor Marchbanks. 1850 census: Margret not located. 1860 Census of Johnson Co., Texas, Buchanan P.O., p. 484, household 645, family 658: Margarett Marchbanks 71 F W Farmer 600 3875 S.C.

Marchbanks by his grandfather Josiah Marchbanks and this recorded by Mr. B. F. Marchbanks after 1920 and dedicated to his parents, Thomas Calvin and Josephene Pauline (Sullivan) Marchbanks. The account details some Marchbanks history. On typed page 210, it states: "Josiah and Margret Marchbanks were of 'Primitive Baptist Faith'; Josiah was preparing to move to Texas from Tenn. in 1850 and just before he was to leave Overton Co., he died but his wife came on to Texas with her sons, Wm., James C., Jonathan, Geo.

He was not in the 1790 census for, nor was he in the 1810 census for. The "Harold Clark" who married Margret "Peggy" Campbell, Jane Campbell's sister, has been erroneously confused
CHILD 5 - [Male A] Cannon (Continued) with a fictitious son, Harold, who married a Peggy Campbell, in materials by Mrs. Lovell K. Lovett, now deceased. She gave Vol. XXI Ellis Co., Texas Gen. Records, 1680-1968 for Harold's name. These Ellis Co. records are nothing more than undocumented, typescript family group sheets. Mrs. Lovett was the source of a great deal of erroneous information about the /Jane Campbell family, some of which she simply made up to fit her preconceived notions that her ancestor, JUDA or JUDAH (unknown) was the JUDITH Cannon who was the daughter of Russell and Jane Cannon, and who also married a Kendrick. Mrs. Lovett's Juda married Abel Kendrick; she confused the two women who married Kendricks. Her Juda was only 8 years younger than, so Mrs. Lovett gave Russell a much earlier birthdate and "married" him to an earlier, undocumented and possibly fictitious, wife, Hulda Hoad/Hood. A different family, that of Russell E. Cannon, son of the Richard Cannon who may have been Simcock's son, is the one with a link to a Cherokee or part Cherokee woman named Hulda Hoad/Hood. CHILD 6 - Martha Cannon Nicknamed "Patsy," and this name appears on her tombstone instead of Martha, according to Lo Moss Moore, who supplied the date of death. Martha married after 1824 because her father s estate documents S.C. 59, Vol. 1, p. 45, Estate of Pack 99 (Equity), Clerk of Court s Office, Pickens, S.C., state that the heirs of include: Martha Cannon who afterwards married William Brown." She was widowed by 1852, when she came with Elijah Cannon to Grayson County, Texas.according to "Ancestors and Descendants: Grayson Co., TX," compiled and edited by Grayson Co. Genealogical Society (date of publication missing from my photocopies). See section on Elijah Cannon, her brother. She came with him; he was widowed also. Date of birth deduced from census data and also the information below. From typewritten "History of the [Elijah] Cannon Family and the Cannon Community" by Catherine Cannon with Others., 1973. Obtained from an Elijah Cannon descendant by Cecilie Gaziano. Martha "Patsy" Cannon Brown had no children but helped to rear her brother Elijah's children. It states that "she died at the age of 92, March 6, 1885, and was buried in the Cannon cemetery. Held in such high esteem by her 'children,' they did not follow the practice customary on the frontier of burying the dead in plain, roughly hewn coffins. Hers was beautifully constructed, lined with the best material avalable. Though usually an Irish custom, a 'wake' was held for her by these descendants of English heritage." (p. 9) This source also gave her birthdate as 1793 and stated that she was three years older than Elijah.

Given under our hands this 10th day of Nov. 1820 which we received and ordered to be entered of record which report was assessed by the said John Ray, John Sellers and Joshua Ashmore. Whereas it is represented to this court that an order which was made at the last court allowing the Administrator of John Kendrick, dec'd to sell said estate was not entered of record it is therefore ordered by the court that an order as aforesaid be entered now for then. The Administrator of John Kendrick, dec'd. returned unto court a bill of sale of said estate which was received and ordered to be recorded accordingly. 06 Oct 1823 Lawrence Co., TN. Judith Kendrick, widow of John Kendrick, dec d, appeared in court, as executrix of his estate.

Judith was named guardian of Russell Carroll Kendrick, minor child. Apr Ct 1831 Lawrence Co., TN. Judith Kendrick was released from her obligation as guardian of Russell Carroll Kendrick (perhaps because he was of age). [Other than Russell Carroll Kendrick, the identities of the nine children[5] of John Kendrick who appear on the 1820 census, and the three on the 1830 census with Judith are not known. Unless many died young, the 11 Kendrick children of John Kendrick are unaccounted for.] [1] Page 191, NARA Roll M33_123. From www.ancestry.com.

In 1830 Ransom Cannon was not found in the census. He had died before 1 March 1830. Was Malinda in her father s household in this census. Jeremiah Fields, Malinda s father, p. 319, has a female born between 1810 and 1815, who may be Malinda. By 1850, Malinda had married Joseph Donaldson and lived in Cherokee Co., GA, according to the census, p. 520A. She was aged 38, born about 1812.

In SOME SOUTH CAROLINA RECORDS, Vol. 2, edited by the Rev. Silas E. Lucas Jr., Southern Historical Press, Easley, SC. [It is not clear if Malinda married Moses Smith or a different Smith. I think this refers to a different widow, whose name was Mary -- widow of a Mr. Boyd, and she married Moses Smith.]] DONALDSON: "Donaldson, Joseph. Pack 99. Clerk of Court Office.

This states that among the heirs of, whose wife is given as Jean Cannon, was Ransom Cannon. "Since 's death, Ransom Cannon has departed this life leaving no children but leaving a wife Malinda who has since intermarried with Joseph Dolleson." Filed March 17, 1857.
CHILD 11 - Ransom Cannon (Continued) There are two unidentified males in the household of Russell and Jane Cannon, using census data. One was born between 1784-1790, and the other between 1800 and 1810. I am guessing that the latter (younger) one is Ransom, because his widow (who married Joseph Donelson or Dolleson) was 38 in the 1850 Cherokee Co., GA, census -- born about 1812 -- and I am assuming that Ransom and his wife were somewhat close in age.
