Marlene, Sorry, I can't prove anything older than Robert. From census material, Nicholas Co. records, Perrin, & some family hand-me-downs, we have pieced together the following: Robert SHANNON b. about 1804; m. 12 Jan 1827, Nicholas; d. 4 Oct 1877 Frances BERRY b. about 1808; both buried Shiloh Cemetery John B. Shannon b. 27 Nov 1827; m. Elmira Campbell Eliza J. b. about 1833 Robert C. b. about 1834 Lucy A. b. about 1841 Martha b. about 1843 Thomas b. about 1846 Nancy C. b. about 1850 John B. SHANNON b. 27 Nov 1827; m. 2 Feb 1851, Nicholas; d. 6 Jan 1911 Elmira CAMPBELL b. 3 Jan 1826; d. 29 Jun 1896 Mary F. Shannon b. about 1852 Joan b. about 1853; m. 23 Feb 1876, Franklin Wills Robert T. b. 1856; m. Mary Nancy Picket CRUMP Emerson W. b. 1860; m. Lina, abt 1890; both buried Parrish Chapel John W. b. about 1862; d. 1941, buried Mt. Zion Samuel b. Sep 1864; m. Mina, abt 1893; both buried Mt. Zion Thomas Jefferson b. 7 Jan 1868; m. Rhoda Jane CAMERON (my grandmother) 7 Aug 1894; d. 24 Aug 1908, buried Mt. Zion. Rhoda married Mack CRUMP 3 Nov 1909. Hope some of these names offer you clues as to a connection.
