Would someone be so kind as to send me a "Mime Decoder?" I've been looking without success. The old one went with the old computer. Thanks, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA

Your post on the Joseph Shannon family gave me hope again that I may run across my Robert Shannon [email protected] connection to the Pickens family. He had a son named Frank Pickens Shannon in SC and others named Samuel, James and Richard. This family left SC for GA in 1850. Please, if someone has info on my Robert I'd appreciate any leads for further research. Thanks in advance, Becky Shannon

Hi Tommie, Recently I came across some records that show 7 children in Joseph & Mary's family, and would like your thoughts on it. John Peeling,Jr shows Anna (shown in Larramore Bible), Granville, Lavinia & Alexander. http://genforum.familytreemaker.com/shannon/messages/91.html This site shows 4 children:Franklin P.,(Col. Shannon's older brother was a Joseph Franklin Shannon),Lavinia, Granville B., and Alexander. http://home.earthlink.net/ ~tmclean/PickensDBndx/dat18.htm and finally, Bonnie Mae Webber Hill in her LDS Individual Record(FSAF v4.19)shows Isaac,Granville B.,Jemima,Lavinia&Alexander. Let me know what you think about this. Kind Regards Always, & A Happy New Year. Mike

Good Morning Debbie, I descend from Samuel's son Joseph Shannon.In checking the family chart, Samuel's son James had two wives: Mary Reid & Mary Mclung. I'm not aware of his marrying a Sarah. Samuel's brother married Sarah Reid, but I don't suppose that is any help. You mention Donna Weatherford mentioning my website. I don't think I know her, and I would also like to know about my website. I don't have one as far as I know. Sorry I can't be of more help, perhaps you should put a query into [email protected], and see if anyone out there has that information. Michael Shannon
