This is to follow up on further messages from Linda and Doug, which I do appreciate very much. Doug, I did sign up to the Cannon Surname Project and am in the first group there with a number of matches who also trace back by documentary genealogy to my ancestor John Cannon (1712-1763), who was born in Dover, Kent, England (to the best of my knowledge).  I just got notice today of a new match at 67-markers, but whose surname is Milliken.  (Another of my group 1 other-surname matches is David Wilson.) Based on a message to someone else in the DNA-Newbie Yahoo group I went to semargl.me and found some numbers but have not yet been able to check those against the Cannon Surname Project subjects due to traveling to be with my mother and sister for Thanksgiving. I still need to sign up with ysearch.org and also smgf.org (sp? -- the Sorenson website).

"However, beyond whatever information FTDNA could supply you with, there also are a number of other strategies which could be employed to further refine your exploration. "To begin with, have you searched for a Cannon family project available at FTDNA? "And then there are a number of other strategies and tricks, too."
