There is a Shannon family from Washington Co., Pa. who intermarried with a Finney family in Licking Co., Ohio. I know there is Shannon's in Belmont Co., Ohio who are also from Washington Co., Pa.-one of their sons was a first native born Governor of Ohio (Wilson Shannon). I don't know about the Finney's of Belmont Co., and have never linked them with the Licking Co., Ohio ones, nor the Shannon's either but my husband descends from both Shannon lines from Licking Co., Ohio and Belmont Co., Ohio. I am sure there is plenty of info in the Licking Co. Genealogy society on the Shannon-Finney lines.

I have not been able to confirm that my Finney's were included in this migration but when my brick wall ancestor and his spouse passed away (Isaac B. and Rachel Finney) my great grandfather lived with the McFaddens and the rest of the minor children were taken in by Josiah Murphy and the guardianship bond were paid by a Benjamin Murphy, all of Tuscarawas County Ohio.
