Surnames: VanCannon/VunCannon/Luther Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kUB.2ACE/1305.2.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Noah and Talitha/Litha/Letha/Lalitha (Luther) VunCannon/VanCannon are the same people. Noah left NC after the Civil War and is buried near Boone, Iowa, with his wife. My great-grandmother, alive until the 1980s, was their grandaughter. Noah fought as a Confederate until he was captured and held prisoner at Pt. Lookout. Many, many men died at that prison camp, so it is no wonder he chose to be freed by joining the Union foces and fighting in the New West (SD, etc.). Many Luthers and Vancannons are buried in Iowa.
