When I began my research, I had the rare privilege of speaking & corresponding with a fine gentleman from Washington Co., Lloyd McConnell. He was a big help. He also compiled a book on the cemeteries in Washington Co., it was thru the efforts of many dedicated people that this came into being. I would recommend it to anyone researching Shannons & allied families in the area. It includes many Billingsly, Buchanan, Carnahan, Marrs, Reid,& Scott families tied to the Shannon family. It was put out in 1980. For anyone researching these lines in this area, it would be one to have. Check the Washington Co., Hist. Soc. They possibly can tell you how to get a copy, however of you can't find it, perhaps I can look up a specific name & date for you. Mike

This is a list of Shannon obits, from this book can research others for those who might need them. Fayetteville Democrat 8/7/1869 COLEMAN, J. On Thursday morning rode into town Capt. Anderson, sheriff of Crawford Co., and Fine Shannon, U.S. Deputy Marshall, each with their posse. They had been in pursuit of the "Fisher Boys". We learn from members of their party that they had suceeded in killing two of the "Fisher Party". On Tuesday night, they surrounded a house in Lindsay's Prairie, Benton County, the "Bradshaw Place," where two of the"Fisher Party" were. On the next morning, Wednesday, they called upon these men to surrender. They were J. Coleman and R. Emondson, men who were concerned in the killing at Evansville, of Stout and Fitzwater. Coleman was the man killed Stout. At the summons to surrender one of these men came out and seeing the parties both men got their weapons and ran into an aadjoining field. The parties under Anderson and Shannon fired on them when they fell. One of them, after he fell, emptied his six-shooter at the party and attempted to fire his gun, all without effect.

Jimmy, I too am a Shannon descendant, not from your line of Shannon's though. I was walking and old cemetery today with a friend and came across a worn stone that read; Oliver Kerr, died December 25, 1874, age 2 mo. & 20 days. This cemetery is located in McLean County, IL. I wasn't sure if you are researching the Kerr surname but when I saw it I thought of you. Happy New Year, Adrienne Dreier

I was wondering about the Yates papers, too--I was up to get them last summer but was out of town and asked to be postponed till fall. How can I get back on the list now? I really want to see them, especially now that I have some vague idea where I may fit! Linda Eaton

I received this information from Gerald Busby. I don't know if it has been posted. Source: the research files of Levi Andrew Busby (1901-1988) Shannon Family >From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunday, December 24, 1911. PEDIGREE A LONG AND HONORABLE ONE ANTEDATES CHRISTIAN ERA FIRST NAVAL OFFICER OF BOSTON'S PORT THE IMMIGRANT COAT OF ARMS BESTOWED WHEN HERALDRY IN ITS INFANCY O'SEANCHAIN is said to have been the first form of the surname Shannon. >From O'Seanchain to Shonahan, Shanason, is considered an easy feat to accomplish by those who are skilled in such matters. Then, from Shannahan to Shannon or Shanon is as easy as rolling off the proverbial log. Seachain or Seanchen is composed of two Celtic words, "seoncha", meaning an antuiquarian or genealogist, and "an", one who. Seanchan is, then, one who is an antiquarian. So renouned was one in this line that in time his friends and neighbors called him "Mr. Seanchan". His son or grandson was O'Seanchan, "O" showing descent. Old records frequently give the name as Shannon. The O'Seanchains have a long pedigree, belonging as they do, to that branch of the Celtic race which alone of all European races of the period antedating the Christian era has maintained its identity to the present time. >From Ireland the clan went to Scotland, and we find among ancestors of the race such pleasing names as Taidlig, Flarthbeartach, and Donohadh Dubh, real aristocrats, without doubt. Perhaps it will confuse us to mention that Sha, or Sham, is an ancient word meaning a mountain range. Shannon is one form of the word and Schanning another. In Scotland the orthography is usually Shannon. "The King of the Irish Common" was Henry Boyle, Earl of Shannon, born in 1682, at Castemartyr, Ireland. >From the North of Ireland (the ancient Scotland, if the historians say true) the Scots went in 503. To the North of Ireland many returned in 1612-20, and to America their descendants began to emigrate in 1719 and earlier. They constituted three-fourths or more of the patriots who fought for American liberty. The immigrant Nathaniel Shannon, born in 1655 in Londonderry, was of Scottish ancestry. When 32 years old he came to this country and made his home at Boston, where in 1701 he was a member of the Old South Church. Twenty-two years later he died, the stone marking his grave in the old Granary Burying Ground, Tremont Street, Boston, still stands. Nathaniel's brother, Robert, was a man of affairs, holding many town offices. He was the first naval officer of the Port of Boston, and a merchant of prominence. The papers now preserved in the Massachusetts State Archives show that he was a man of good education. His wife was Elizabeth, and their children were Nathaniel Jr., Robert, who is supposed to have died unmarried, and Samuel, who married Ann Miller. Nthaniel of the second generation married Abigail Vaughan, whose father was one of the royal Councillors, and also Chief Justice of New Hampshire. Nathaniel and Abigail had two sons, Nathaniel and Cutts. The four children were his namesake, George, Margaret, and Abigail. Nathaniel and his wife, Abigail Vaughan, lived at Portsmouth, N. H., where he was a ship merchant. He also lived at Ipswich. Among other records of this generation still extant is that of a deed conveying land to Thomas belcher, 1720. Nathaniel was a slave owner and by will, left negroes to his sons who rejoiced that is, the slaves, not the sons, in the names of Nimshy, Dinah, Diana, Cossar, Primus, and Beaufity. We find that Dover, N. H. was another stronghold of the Shannons, and Thomas, who married Lillias Watson, held many town offices. In 1785 he was Captain of the New Hampshire Militia. "He was a zealous supporter of the Revolution and active in recruiting its armies." He died in 1800, aged about 50 years. Heitman's "Officers of the American Revolution" names William Shannon of Virginia, Ensign and Lieutenant. John and Samuel Shannon, also of Virginia, were soldiers bold. The family boasts of many statesmen, and one was a Territorial Governor of Kansas and Governor of Ohio. This was Wilson Shannon, who was also Minister to Mexico. RICHARD CUTTS SHANNON, who preserves in his middle name an old family one, was Minister to Central America. The family has its professional men, its artists, and authors, and its divines. Was it not one of this name, a bishop, of whom this story is told? Out driving on day, the bishop was stopped by a man who, thinking to have a joke, said:- "Pardon me, Bishop, but can you tell me the road to Heaven?" "Certainly, Sir," the bishop answered. "Turn to the right and keep straight on." The family has its share of lawyers, and what has been said of one that he was a good lawyer, of a clear head, and an honest heart may be said of many of the family of this profession. The coat-of-arms illustrated is blazoned:- Gules, a bend, or. Crest:- Out of a ducal coronet or, a lion's head, erased, per pale, crenellee, argent and gules. Supporters:- Two lions, per pale, crenellee; the dexter lion gules and argent; the sinister, argent and gules. Two mottoes are given: "Vivit post funera virtus." (Virtue lives after death.) and "Spectamur agendo." (Let us be judged by our actions.) "Gules, a bend, or" is about the simplest charge possible, and probably was bestowed when heraldry was in its infancy. Tradition says that four brothers, named Shannon, came to America between the years of 1730 and 1760. The only one of these whose name has been preserved was "Thomas", who died in Sadsbury Township, Lancaster County, Penn., in April 1737. His wife's name was Agnes". He names five children in his will. The only one of them whose family has been traced is "John". Jimmy Kerr 8227 N.

My grandfather was hauling lumber for Mark Bean during the winter of 1877-1878, from over near Wesville, on the way back he took sick and stopped at his brother-in-law's house, Mr. Wesley Drake, who lived one mile west of Summers. He was put to bed, where he died of pneumonia 1/26/1878. Later this house burned and was rebuilt, and at the same location my grandmother died several years later.

Hi all, When I sent in the data on the Laramore records, I had to use Allen Cox's transcript. I couldn't find my copies of the Bible records, misfiled them. I did find them, and want to make a few observations; for some reason, my computor took the last part of the death statistics and move them down to the next line. if you move it back up, it will make more sense. The listing of Joseph & Mary's death are those of Granville Shannon's parents. Allen noted in legal papers it was evident that Ann was their daughter, thus making her another child of Joseph & Mary. Addenda : The following was additional data on the bible pages. Christopher Laramore b. 3/12/1858. Robt R. Montgomery died in auto accident 12/30/1969 age 47. Logan Barclay, husband of Ruby Montgomery Barclay died @ age 84 5/19/1971 Anna Lloyd Montgomery died 9/4/1971 age 82. Colonel Laramore and family arrd at Alvarado, Johnson Co., Texas 2/26/1854

(Cont.) William H. Shannon married Sarah E. Drake Sept. 15, 1859, daughter of James and Margaret(Fields)Drake, and built a home on the east side of Bush Valley near Jordan Creek. Four children were born of this union: Samuel, Ella Mae, Thomas H.(my father), and Sarah Lilly. Not long after they were married the worst thing that could happen to a country happened here in America-Civil War-the country was divided over the question of slavery, father against son, and brother against brother. This area and era was most severe for human survival. A radius of fifty miles from Fayetteville contains more history than any other of similar size in the U.S.. During the latter part of the Civil War, gangs of bushwackers operated between Southwest Missouri and Crawford County, Arkansas. They rounded up cattle, horses, anything they could eat or wear- thye took everything. After the Battle of Pea Ridge, in the spring of 1862, and before the Battle of Prairie Grove on 12/71862, many citizens of Washington and Crawford Counties became fearful of the federal army, left their homes and went to Texas. Samuel Shannon, first child of William H. Shannon and Sarah (Drake) Shannon was born 9/2/1862. He was only a few months old at the time of the Battle of Prairie Grove when his mother, grandfather, grandmother, Isaac and Jamima Shannon went to Sherman, Texas for the duration of the war, travelling by wagon and horseback. Sam Shannon married Louisa Sparks 2/6/1879. Their children: Myrtle b. 2/24/1880 d. 11/10/1964 m. Robt Collins Colman b. 8/6/1882 d. 8/30/1937 m. M. Goldman Henry b. 12/24/1884 d. 10/7/1970 m.
