Thanks Loretta #1. I too spent Lots of time at Willard before the puter. That was 18 months ago. In classes there they taught; when you have turned over every rock; go back and do it again and again. I guess that's what I am doing. I can't find my information through the Cannon's so I am trying to connect Henry to people with the same name in the region where he lived. I have a strong feeling that Mariah, Joseph and Henry Cannon were related. In the 1880 Clinton Co. census; they list i.e. 180/183: Riddle Wm. D. 50 Mariah 51 (Cannon) John W. 21 Geo. T. 19 Mary F. 14 Alex. 12 Alfred W. 10 Ellen 8 182/184 Riddle Wm. D. 22 (their son) Eliz. 16 Hope I haven't bored anyone with my rambling. :) L.P.T. PS. I Live on the far Westside. Near Redbank
