Check to see if he owned land near there.

Hi, Melissa -- Thanks for posting the Coker Cemetery info. This is purely speculation at this point and I don't know if it will prove out: but if it does, the William SHANNON buried at Coker Cemetery would be caucasian. Shannon, William / May 28, 1820 / November 28, 1872 / bur. at Coker Cemetery This William SHANNON might be the father of Robert J. SHANNON and grandfather of William A. SHANNON. Robert J. SHANNON is buried in the Tiplersville Cemetery. Robert was born 21 Sep 1848 and died 12 Aug 1933. Robert's wife was Julia A. STREET, d/o John W. STREET & Amanda UNKNOWN. Robert & Julia had 13 children: William A.; John T.; J.B.; Billie; Robert L.; Walter J.; Marcus L. Laron D.; Maude; Lester; Virgie B. SHANNON; and three females, first names unknown to me. These 3 daughters married Will WRIGHT, J.D. PITNER, and O.T. "Thurmond" HORTON. William A. SHANNON was b. 15 Jan 1875, Tippah Co, MS and d. 19 Aug 1915. William is buried in Ripley Cemetery, Ripley, Tippah Co, MS. He married on 12 Dec 1899 in Tippah Co, MS to Maude Olive SMITH, d/o James Milton SMITH & Harriett Adelaide TICER (James' 2nd wife). (James & Harriett were my great, great grandparents.) William & Maude had 6 children: Robert J.; Maybelle; Margaret Holt "Pirt"; Julia D.; William A.; and Ruth Ticer SHANNON. William predeceased both his parents. (His wife Maude remarried to William Roy McDONALD.) I have some further info on some of the SHANNONs, STREETs, and SMITHs (my father's family) and I'm happy to share info if anyone needs it.

William Anderson Shannon, 1820-1872, and Cynthia Brown were the parents of Robert Jackson Shannon......see 1850 Tippah Census House #730. Also in the household is a Mary M. Shannon, age 58 of Kentucky, which I assume to be William's mother. She is still living with this family in the 1860 Census, but is missing from the 1870. Becky, the three missing daughters of Robert Jackson Shannon were Nora E. (married W. B. Wright), Sarah Elizabeth (married James D. Pitner) and Theresa Mitchell (married Oliver T. Horton).
