Dear List, I'd like some opinions on whether it is worth joining one of the commercial genealogy services. I was thinking of giving myself a Christmas present and join Myfamily.com for a few months. Has anyone ever joined. Any thoughts? Kathy Shannon Braun [email protected]

Russ, Yes, I showed Jane Shannon (d of Thomas Shannon and Mary Reid) marrying Alexander Reid in 3 mar 1790 Amherst Co, Va. I show Alexander's father was James Reid. Is that correct?

Who was discussing a Shannon family who split up with three children leaving when their mother died and father remarried? It was a couple of weeks ago. I would have enquired sooner but have been sick. I am looking for the parents of Robert Shannon of SC. He seems to have no attachments to other Shannon families in SC even tho he is close proximity. Here is what I know of him- and thanks for any revelations anyone has. Becky Stephens Shannon Descendants of Robert Shannon Generation No. 1 1. Robert1 Shannon was born 1805 in VA or NC. He married Nancy Crawford. Notes for Robert Shannon: The Robert and Nancy Shannon family are on the Edgefield SC Census from 1830-50. Then they appear on the Carroll Co GA census in 1860. Living very near is a Richard Shannon. Children of Robert Shannon and Nancy Crawford are: + 2 i. Samuel2 Shannon, born October 28, 1841 in North Carolina; died March 10, 1915 in Arkansas. + 3 ii. Franklin Pickens Shannon, born 1848 in SC; died 1916. 4 iii. Ona Shannon. 5 iv. James Shannon. 6 v. Richard Shannon. 7 vi. Sarah A. Shannon, born 1833 in SC; died 1897 in Shelby Co. Alabama. She married Martin H. Fowler. 8 vii. Ezra Shannon. Generation No. 2 2. Samuel2 Shannon (Robert1) was born October 28, 1841 in North Carolina, and died March 10, 1915 in Arkansas. He married Sallie Sara C. Knight October 29, 1868 in Georgia, daughter of Elisabeth A.. Notes for Samuel Shannon: Obituary of Samuel Shannon from the Van Buren County Democrat March 1915. Terminating a residence of more that forty years in this county, "Uncle" Sam Shannon, one of Choctaw township's oldest and best know citizens, died Wednesday night, March 10, 1915, aged 72 years. "Uncle Sam" was born in South Carolina October 28, 1842, moving to Georgia during his boy-hood days. At the age of twenty six years, or on October 29, 1868 he was married to Miss Sallie Knight, and with whom he soon thereafter emigrated to Arkansas, locating in the Choctaw Township. In 1861 when his horizon was darkened by the war cloud, "Uncle Sam", true to his nativity, shouldered his musket and no better demonstration of southern patriotism was ever exhibited. During his four years of service he participated in twenty-seven hard fought battles, the most noteable of which perhaps was Murfreesboro, and the skirmishes incident to the defense of Richmond in the "Two great campaigns against Richmond". During the last campaigns, in the battle of Chancellorsville, he was on picket duty and witnessed the killing of Stonewall Jackson. In August, 1912, he feeling the weight of a man's sins, and desiring to lean upon the strong arm of Jesus, joined the Christian Church and thereafter lived a true Christian life. During his long residence in the township he was known and recognized by all as a good man. Almost three years of intense suffering was endured by him previous to his departure which came in answer to his supplications. Interment took place at the Huie Cemetery, March 11, 1915. Reverend Loftis officiated. Children of Sam and Sallie Knight Shannon were Robert, Tom, John, Ellen, Lizzie, Rose and Nancy

There is more written on the back of this photograph. Please reply..want to give it to someone so it can find it's way home. [email protected]

This website has many, many SHANNONs listed, both bride & groom search capabilities. And is an ongoing project. Joyce<A HREF="http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html"> Illinois Statewide Marriage Index</A> or http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html

I was given a picture of Aleatha Ellen Shelly Shannon (not my line) Is there anyone one out there that would like to have this picture. There is a lot of family history written on the back of the photograph. She was born in 1848 and died in 1927 and taken to Chattanooga Tenn. Her husband was Jesse Shelly. Three sons: Ben Frank, Richard D and Jeff Cook Shannon. Let me know and I'll send it to you. [email protected]

I have been following the Shannon Digest for awhile now. I still do not understand the connection. The "Reid" Shannons and then the Joseph Shannon son of Thomas are two separate lines...different families? Is this the same Joseph that my David Armstrong Shannon belongs too? Where did my David Shannon get the "Armstrong". Can anyone out there help me out? Didn't they all originate in PA or KY or even VA?. Wasn't this area in the part of the country that was one state one year, another state the next year? I have had a time trying to figure out what state to search during a time period. I attached the following message because this is what is confusing me.

Widget, There are records of this Thomas Shannon in the Rockfish River area of Virginia (Albemarle Co. > Amherst Co > now Nelson Co.) where he was associated with his uncles Samuel Shannon and Thomas Shannon (a bachelor). In fact, he was mentioned in his uncle Thomas Shannon's will. The Shannon's land was near that of Alexander Reid, Sr., the father of Mary or Polly Reid, and it is likely that that is where the married ca. 1764. Thomas and Mary (Polly) seem to have remained there until at least March 1790 when a marriage bond was issued in Amherst Co. for the marriage of their daughter Jane Shannon to her cousin Alexander Reid. That couple came to Shelby Co. in 1790 with Jane's parents.
