I have a lot of information on my Scots-Irish PRESBYTERIAN Shannons. I have my lineage back to my gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather Lanty(possibly Langdon) Shannon born circa 1735, died 1797 in Mt. Bethel, Northampton Co., Pa. His line includes many Davids, Daniels, and Lanty/Langdons. My direct link is: Lanty Shannon+Susannah Daniel(Billy) Shannon+Susannah Hamilton David Davis Shannon+Elisabeth Bassett Mark Thompson Shannon+Elizabeth Miller Arthur Smith Shannon+Ellen Elizabeth Hicks Harold Gordon Shannon+A.E. McAllister(living) C.N. Shannon(living)+C.C. Mallard(living) Mary Ellen Shannon Nigh(Me) I have run into a brick wall with Lanty. I can't find out if he is our immigrant ancestor or if his father/grandfather/whatever was. I have been beating my head on this rock for awhile now. I found a history of Mt. Bethel PA that said that it was founded in 1730(five years before Lanty's birth) by 30 Scots-Irish families. The problem is that the book only lists 18 of the 30 by name. So I keep trying. Good Luck with your quest. Let me know if you think these are your Shannons. Mary Ellen S.

Dorothy, What Shannon papers were you referring to? Mike
Dottie, No, I don't know that bunch. I have been sticking with my own line straight back. I try to help where I can by referring others to work of other researchers, or to data I acquire searching my lines. Mike
I am new to this list and hope somebody recognizes this guy. I would like to know more about Marcellous SHANNON b. abt. 1833 in Indiana, died 1912 in St. Marys, Auglaize Co. OH. Marcellous married Susan(a) BODKIN in Auglaize Co., OH in 1861. It was Susan s second marriage, but I have not found any other marriage for Marcellous, or any kids. He was much younger than his wife. The 1870 census has Marcellous (age 37) in St. Marys Twp., Auglaize Co., OH with Susan (50) and Susans daughter. Susan and Marcellous are in the same spot in 1880, and this census says Marcellous parents were both born in Pennsylvania. He (b. IN Apr 1832) and wife Susan (b. NC Mar 1819) are still in the same place in 1900 and theyve been joined by his brother Jacob SHANNON b. IN Jan 1843 (parents b. PA). Jacob was single and I have yet to find him on any other census. Three SHANNONs are buried at Elm Grove Cemetery, St. Marys: Susan May 18, 1906 age 87, Marcellous Jun 10, 1912 age 80 and J. Dec 20, 1913. There are other SHANNONs in Auglaize Co., but I have not been able to determine what, if any, relationship exists. Geo. W. Shannon married in 1864, Joel married in 1870, Lewis in 1889. Elizabeth SHANNON b. PA died in 1875 age 54. Isaac W. died in 1887 age 72. Can anyone help with these guys? Thanks, Terry Bava
Yes, Mike I would like a copy of the chart, It probably would cost more that $2.00 tho, as mailing costs also, so I will add that on when I send the money. My address is Bobbie Reihsen 4021 Cambridge Circle Jefferson City, MO 65109-5735 Hope it has John in Scotland to Robert in England and then the 4 brothers coming to US. I have researched so much and the only information out there is your line. The other lines seem to not be interested in genealogy. You are right, going past 1850 would just be lots of extra paper and not related to my line. The trouble with genealogy is that so many of our dedicated genealogists and family historians disappear from our lives. I am afraid of losing them, as they were so knowledgeable and kind and willing to share. Thanks for sending the pages, shall I wait to get them and return the payment using the address on the envelope?

Oop's Mike, I hadn't meant to send my info on the Shannon/Dunlap families yet, I inadvertently hit the send button. I too would like to get those Shannon Papers you speak of, please. I'll reimburse you, as soon as the papers come with your Address. Here is my address: DOROTHY COTE 8890 WATTSBURG ROAD ERIE, PA. 16509-6020
Hi Mike, Do you know of John b. 1754/5 & Jane (Dunlap) Shannon that lived in Rockland, abt. 10 miles South of Franklin, Pa. Venango Co.. in their later years they went to live with their 2 sons, IIJohn and Alexander Shannon, who lived side by side on 100 acre farm's. IJohn & Jane (Dunlap) Shannon had lived in the area of Mercersburg/Chamberburg, in Franklin Co. Pa. raising 10 children there. The oldest child was Agnes, married William McCune, and they stayed in the Franklin Co. area.. The rest of the family moved up to Penn's Valley, in Centre Co. Pa. near Bellefonte, Pa. some of this family did go to Meigs Ohio etc. IJohn was born in Washington Co. Md. His marriage to Jane is still on record in the Court House & Historical Center. IJohn had served in the Am. Rev. War. He's on record in the DAR books as a Patriot. There is also another John Shannon family that settled in Shannondale, and some of the families still live there. Dottie
Hmmm. Was John Shannon Sr. in Scotland, the father of Thomas in Northern Ireland whose 4 sons came over here? There must have been a John Shannon Jr. maybe he was the one who went to Ireland and it might have been his 4 sons who came over. Will you help me straighten these out? What are the dates on their births so we can keep them in order? When I got onto google, there was a big list of about 300-400 Shannons, alphabetized by first name, which was nice as all the Thomas Shannons were together. Thanks for the urls, I will check them, tho everyone seems to be the one Agnes-Eigness line. Wonder who is researching the other lines. Thanks for your help. I need to hurry to find Thomas's parents as my husband is tired of me being on the internet so much and is now into making music, so I need to give it up a lot these days. Thanks.

Forgot, what do you know about the original Robert in N. Ire. Do you know his spouse. I will be in N. Ire on Aug. 23, but do not have much to go on for Shannons. Have more on our Thompsons.

Mike, Can you tell me who the four brothers were and if they settled in different parts of PA. When and where did they arrive in the US? Did they come with wives, or marry after they got here? Please let me know the details, so I can start searching for each one. I am sure we are not in the line of the Agness-Iegness line. Was it Thomas that she married, I get so mixed up. Will not have to research that one. Look forward to hearing about these 4 brothers.

Bobbie, my John Shannon, born 1754/5 had a daughter Agnes, who married William McCune. Their marriage is listed in Hagerstown, Md. I believe it's still on record in the Court House there and in the Historical Library. Dottie
Bobbie, That's interesting. I didn't know y'all were in Missouri. Most of the Shannons in that neck of the woods are kin one way or another. Will put a copy of the chart in the maill tomorrow. Mike
Bobbie, I don't have anything on Robt. except what Rita Ziebert shows on him. Sorry. Mike
Bobbie, Well for some reason all my message must not have gotten through. John Sr. was born and lived in Scotland. John Jr. was born in Scotland and went to N. Ireland where his son Robt. was born and lived. Robert's four sons were born in N.Ireland and emigrated to Penn. Mike
Mike, I forgot to ask, who put those hundreds of Shannons on this nice alphabetized list? That was a lot of work. Thanks for their kindness in doing it.

Mike, I did it! First I got a Joseph Shannon scientist in Ariz. but then I typed in Joseph Shannon in Pennsylvania and got a huge list of hundreds of Shannons, and there were 16 Thomas Shannons. Unfortunately none born within the 1720-25 time frame that our Thomas must have had, since he was buying a patent in 1743 from William Penn's sons, near Gettysburg. He lived there all his life, till he died in 1797, still on same 300 acres which he gave his son, Joseph in the 1797 will. I wonder if he was the Shannon emigrant for our family. Will have to look for ships lists for 1700-1740. Do you have a Philladelphia Ships destination list? Thanks for your help.

Bobbie, Take a look at this webpage: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/z/i/e/Rita-J-Zieber/ODT1-0001.html This starts with John Sr. and has all four great grandsons as generation 4 Mike
Have noted of late reference to Scotch-Irish Protestant Shannons in Penna. in 1700s. Am new to this research, and am stuck looking for ancestors, siblings, kin, etc. of John A. Shannon, born March 9, 1790 in Penna. (where?, dont know?) Married August 10, 1820 Nicholas County, Kentucky, to a Keziah (Keziola?) Rogers , died August 24, 1852 in Licking County, Ohio.

Mike Do any of these Shannon familys of you'r end up in Ohio? We believe Franci & Joesph had a brother Alexander. We find them in Fatette & Putnam Co's. 1839 Fayette, 1860 Putnam.
