Hi Joyce, Thank you for taking the time to reply to my postings. I appreciate the great information. I'll see what I can do with it! Sincerely, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA Researching: Dorchester Perkins Warner Ivall Shannon Gauley Lowe Van Schaick

Sorry! Doesn't ring a bell with me. Herb Vore

Hi Janice & Kevin, If you have not, you might want to take a peek at the states of interest on the USGenWeb boards. This link is for the main website: <A HREF="http://www.usgenweb.com/">The USGenWeb Project - Home Page</A> You just might find something (or someone willing to do free lookups) listed that will lead to finding out about poor farms/homes or other areas of research. Be sure to leave a query at the site too. Good luck, Joyce

taken care of Skip...... Joyce, list manager

I'm new to the SHANNON-L website, and would appreciate any information anyone has on my SHANNON bloodline. Mary Ellen SHANNON was my great grandmother. She was born on 28 Nov. 1844, possibly in Seneca Co., Ohio, died on 22 Jan 1913 near Tiffin, Seneca Co., Ohio, and married Jesse MILLER, who was born on 5 Sept. 1838 in New York State, and died in Tiffin on 1 Oct 1880. They had two sons Jesse and Logan. Her parents were George SHANNON and Anna Mary LUTZENHEISER. He was born on 12 Oct 1816 in Pa. and died on 10 June 1911 in Ohio. She was born on 11 Oct 1821 in Ohio, and died on 21 Jan 1900 also in Ohio. The above George SHANNON may have been the son of Thomas SHANNON and Casandra ANDERSON. He was born sometime between 1779 and 1802 and died on 16 March 1843. I understand Thomas was a well known figure in Ohio politics. Thomas SHANNON's parents were George David SHANNON and Jane MILLIGAN. He was born in 1758 in Ireland and died in 1803 in Warren Twp., Ohio. Jane was born between 1748 and 1776 and died in 1823. If any of this connects with anyone else's SHANNON line, I would appreciate the confirmation, and any other data or notes you may have on these individuals. Thanks again! Herb Vore

Dear Janice, I saw your posting on the Wisconsin boards and it's like you're clairvoyant. I was toying with the same "poor house" idea for a relative who was last known to be in Spencer Iowa, which I guess is in Clay County somewhere. His name was ROBERT D. SHANNON and he was originally from Chippewa Falls, WI. He was about 60+ years old in 1942-44, the last known location and time frame for him. Do you know if there were any kinds of roll sheets or other public documents for that time period? Maybe he was in jail or prison or something too? Janice, if you do "for fee" genealogy work, or know a reputable person who does, I'd like to contract for some work. Your articulate posting caught my eye. Please let me know either way as I'm eager to get moving on this phase of my family tree. Sincerely, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA USA Researching: SHANNON PERKINS WARNER LOWE IVALL GAULEY VAN SCHAICK DORCHESTER TRUAX SMITH MAC DONALD
