She was from Humboldt or Mendocino county. Also, many Shannons lived in Humboldt county from the late 1800s on. I am writing a book on my two grandfathers, on of whom was Theodore Roosevelt Shannon, a rancher and logger who lived in Humboldt County as well as Mendocino, Trinity, and even Tulare for awhile. If anyone knows of any stories, anecdotes, etc. I'd love to hear about them.
