CANON (or) CANNON family related to infamous Jesse James

PSE78 — 2008-10-03 10:59:24Z

Trying to find my "Cannon/Canon" ancestors that are related to the infamous outlaw Jesse James. This Cannon family adopted a half Cherokee girl and named her Kathryn "Kate" Cannon. When she grew up she married William "Raymond" James. Does anybody know anything about the genealogy information on this Kate Cannon? I believe she was born about 1894 in possibly Missouri and adopted from an Oklahoma Reservation? Please contact me at:

I am interested in your posting on 1/10/2003, as I am searching for Thomas Can(n)on who came to Mercer Co., PA about 1796-97 from Philadelphia. I believe he could be the son of Moses and Rachel Cannon of Harford Co., MD. It is believed he was born 1755. A Thomas Cannon is the first child listed in Moses Cannon’s will. see (jasoncannon.org/genealogy [Wills]) Thomas and Rachel Coyle Cannon's oldest son was Moses Cannon who was born abt. 1782 in Philadelphia. Could he possibly the same Moses you mentioned having gone from Philadelphia, to Maryland (to see relatives)then to Mercer Co. PA. where Thomas resided until 1818? Do you have a source for this information or additions? Thank you.

Samuel Canon bio

Not_A_Relative — 2002-11-28 03:00:15Z

SAMUEL CANON, farmer, post-office Greenville, was born in Fayette County, Penn, August 7, 1805. His parents, Matthew and Jane (McMillan) Canon, were natives of Ireland, who immigrated to Fayette County, Penn., in the latter part of the eighteenth century, where they engaged in the mercantile and hotel business, which proved quite successful for a number of years, the dry goods being purchased in Baltimore, Md., and hauled over the Allegheny Mountains by six-horse teams, which required six weeks to make one trip and incurred many hardships. He reared a family of fourteen children, Samuel, the subject of this sketch, being the youngest. He died in 1829, aged seventy-four years; his wife survived him six years. Samuel grew to manhood in his native county, and was there married, in March, 1832, to Mary Gibson, a native of the same county. In February, 1833, they removed to Mercer County, Penn., and settled on the farm where he now resides, it being uncleared at that time. Here they reared a family of seven children, four daughters and three sons: Martha, wife of T. A. Williamson, of Greenville, Penn.; Margaret, widow of Joseph Andrews; Mary, Sarah, John, Samuel and Loverayne. Mrs. Canon died March 10, 1884, aged seventy-four years; she was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, to which denomination Mr. Canon also belongs. Politically he has been a life-long, unswerving Democrat. He cast his first vote for Jackson in 1828, and has never missed voting for the presidential nominee of the Democratic party during the past sixty years. He is one of the few living early settlers of West Salem Township, where he has resided over fifty-five years.

John Canon bio

Not_A_Relative — 2002-11-28 03:00:15Z

JOHN CANON, farmer, post-office Greenville, is the eldest son of Samuel Canon, and was born on the old homestead July 12, 1843. He has always resided in West Salem, and was married August 14, 1870, to Elizabeth, daughter of John Blair, of that township. She is the mother of seven children: Lindsie, Anna M. (deceased), Addie, Samuel, Mabel, Blanche and Gertrude. The family belong to the Baptist Church, and politically Mr. Canon has always been a Democrat, and is a member of the R. T. of T.

Tom,
I wondered if I could get a scan of the picture of Thomas E. Canon and his wife. I believe she is Elizabeth J. Powell, daughter of Alex.Dunn Powell and Mary A. Davis. I would be interested in finding where they are buried. I am researching the Powell's as Alex. Dunn Powell's father Jesse is my 4th great-grandfather.I have tracked your line in the census a little bit. Could you tell me if Byron and Alice Canon had a daughter Alice born about 1909. In the 1910 index it lists a daughter, but that page is missing when I go to try and look at it. I do not see this daughter listed in 1920 or 1930. I would like to exchange any info on Elizabeth J. Powell. Please email me at carolpjohnson@aol.com. Thank You Carol
