Hello everyone, I have been going up my family tree trying to tie in the families of the mothers. I've finally started digging into my Howell family and found a possible connection to the Cannon family. As such, I am posting this message to both lists, so please excuse the excess and if anything sounds familiar, let me know. On the 1850 census in Pickens Co SC, a person who seems to be my ggg-grandmother, Nancy Howell (16), was living in the household of James Cannon (66) and his wife Mary (70). The next household is that of whom I assume to be James' son John Cannon (29) his wife Elizabeth 28 and there children Warren 12, John 10, James N. 7, Silas 5, and then there is an Eliza Howell (20) living in his Household. Has anyone researching these Cannon Families seen any probate records mentioning the Howells? Where were they in 1840? Does anyone have a missing Howell family from that area of SC? Family says Nancy Howell married Jordan N. Bailey in Pickens co.SC in Dec 1854, there oldest son William H. being born in March. 0n March 20, 1874, Nancy and Jordan had a son Warren Cicero born in SC. Not long after that, Nancy and Jordan must have moved down to Bartow / Gordon Co. GA to be near his sister Margaret Bailey Stone. Family says their father Louis Bailey walked all the way from SC to see visit, arriving on July 3, 1874; he was exhausted, he eat supper, went to bed, and died in his sleep. I do not know if Nancy and Jordan moved before or after his father's death. It is possible they came together. Other Howells live in the area, but I have seen no relation. This is all I know of the Howell family. I thought it peculiar that Nancy named a son Warren and John Cannon also had a son Warren. Any information you think might would be helpful would be appreciated. Keith Bailey
