Dottie, Do you know the parents of your John Shannon, were they the emigrants or were the grandparents bringing them as children? It is possible that our Thomas came as a child with his parents, but we have no real ideas. nor do we know if they were from Scotland or Ireland. I have searched dilligently, even made the trip to PA. but was not as through as I wish, as the Adams Co Genelogical and Historical Society was not open, and I had a husband who was just hanging out waiting for me and I was only there one day. That is life. Let me know what you think.

Dottie, we have the land records from York/Adams Co. PA, first in 1740 where he applied for the patent, then in 1762 or 3, where the fighting between Maryland and PA for the same land was settled, and at that point the land transaction was finished. so the land belonged to both Maryland and PA at the same time from 1740-1760. The king had given overlapping grants to Penn and Lord Baltimore. Thomas's land was just outside the Manor of the Masque, and he is listed in there. We went to Gettysburg looking for records and found and went to his land sw of Gettysburg, on the Toms River in Fairfield, PA Then the land went to his son, Joseph in 1797 or 1798 at his death. I have his will, of 1797 in York Co. PA. At that time of his death. Thomas about 80, and his wife, Mary, were living with Joseph on the original land, a son, Samuel got a few pennies, probably provided for earlier, and a daughter, Mary received the adjacent "land and home on which she and her husband, Henry Cowley were now living." There is a Patrick and an Alexander in the same county in the 1790 census. I have also found him in several tax or inhabitant lists from middle to ending 1700s. I would think there would be more children that had already received inheritances, and possibly this could be a second wife, with these kids being a second younger group than the first marriage would have been. It seems that not many of these Irish folks only had 3 children in all their married lives. I do wish I could give you more info. I am also looking for Henry Cooley parents. There was a John Cooley living in 1779 in Adams/York Co. as well as Thomas Shannon. He was single and about 20 and on his own, I presume. Joseph Shannon was not listed so he probably lived with his father at that time. I had thought that Henry might be the son of John Cooley of Kent Co. MD as that would fit time wise, but I cannot prove it, nor can I prove that the same John from MD moved to PA. Genealogy is such a puzzle. Would love the dates and locations of Shanons you are searching so I can keep them in mind as I search.

Thanks for replying, Dorothy. Our Thomas was about 20 in 1740, and in York Co. PA when I found him. Wish I knew where he came from and who his parents were. He could have been the emigrant or else the son of the emigrant. Have been looking now for 6 years. I did not see them on the Shannon Yates list. Think that is mostly the Eigness Shannon line.

Hi, our Thomas Shannon was not from the Robinson group. Our Thomas was already in York or Adams Co Pennsylvania in 1740-1797 when he died. He must have been 20 in 1740 as he applied for a patent for land from the Penn family. Would he be relative of your Dad's grandmother. Thanks for checking.

Bobbie, what do you have to substantiate the dates [1740-1797], and places, [York and Adams Co. Pa.]? Actually, your Thomas could easily be the father of my John Shannon, born 1754/5. If your Thomas was 20 yrs old in 1740, then he would've been 34/35 yrs old in 1754/5. Do you know how your Thomas died and where, also do you know who his wife, parents & siblings were? I'd be anxious to know. My John Shannon's people came from Kintyre, Argyle, Scotland. They may have lived in Ireland for awhile before coming to the colonies. Chambersburg is in Franklin Co.Pa, but back then, I believe it was Cumberland Co. Pa. Dottie Cote

Hi Bobbie, yes, the Peter Robinson settlement and the ships that took those folk from Ireland to Canada was at a time when the economy in Ireland was in bad straits. The ocean voyage was from Ireland with Irish going to a new land into Quebec, making their way on down into Ontario where they were given land, seed, axes and whatever supplies were needed to tide them over for one year. I also have Shannon's that came into Md. My gggg. grandfather, John Shannon was born in 1754/5 and lived in Washington Co. Md. He served in the Am. Rev. War, and married Jane Dunlap, from Mercersburg/Chambersburg, Pa. area. Dorothy Cote

Looking for parents of. Do any of you have a Sannon couple with a son Francis? He was b. Pa. m. Jan 15,1839 Fayette Co. Ohio, moved to Ia. in time for the 1840 Census of Muscatine Co. Back in Fayette for his wife to be on the 1850 Census. He had made the trip yo the Gold Fields in Ca. 1860 has them in Putnam Co. Ohio. Late 1870' they sold out and moved back to Ia. There chrildren are found in Mille Co. His wife was still alive and found there at Glenwood in 1886, when a grandson was married. Any help would be greatly apprecated. Thank you Lois Stegal

I would be be very interested in knowing the name of the book, etc. My "William Shannon" came to US (Pittsburgh, PA), in 1861. However, I cannot find them on any passenger ships or lists. I am starting to look to see if they came through Canada. any help would be appreciated. Shannon in Austin, TX

I can get you great information regarding Peter Robinson. My Dad has heaps of info. I am from Peterborough, Ontario Canada. This is named after Peter Robinson. Peter's Borough is what they originally called it. My dad has gone to Vancouver/Victoria for the next month but I would be happy to get info. Also he would know about the Shannons from that era because his grandmother was a Shannon (but not from the Peter Robinson settlement) I hope I can be of assistance.

Sorry, I don't know the answer about distances. Of course PA and MD share state lines - and they moved about early on - worth checking out.

Dear Esther: My Shannon's may be connected to the Peter Robinson Expeditions. I believe there's quite a bit of information on the Internet. Our Shannon's settled in Grenville, Quebec, Canada around 1820 or so. I'm eager to hear from others who may have passenger lists or manifests that can solve my Shannon mysteries too.
