Hi don't know if I can be of any help, but my Alexander Shannon and his brother, Granville, migrated from KY to Washington Co., AR, which is in the very NW corner and not too many miles from Joplin. Perhaps this would be a place to start. I think the original ancestors were in PA.

There is a William Shannon age 22 living with his parents in Joplin, MO in 1880. I think that they had moved there from PA. I am interested in the Shannon because he might be my gr grandfather.

Dear Charlotte, Wish I could help. My William was in TN at that time. Have a nice Evening, Carey

hey Bonnie..........did you know that one of those SHANNONs that migrated to the corner of AR grew apples? And got a patent on one called the Shannon Pippen Apple (recalling name from some old memories, hope is correct). Anyway, I have some paperwork on it stored in some old files if you need. Wonder if you could get a copy of the original patent papers from the US patent office? Joyce

Hi all, I found a very interesting site for those of you searching for missing Shannons. Enjoy, Adrienne http://monitor.nara.gov/cgi-bin/starfinder/4857/standard.txt

Looking for any information regarding the following individuals James William Raymond Eugene SHANNON (b. 1897 - d. 1959) m. Charlotte Mae McGONIGIAL in Helena AR abt 1920. William SHANNON (b. ??? - d. 1897) m. Annie Veladore BURNS (date and place uknown) James is the son of William SHANNON and Annie Veladore BURNS. William died either shortly before or after James' birth in St. Louis (IL or MO??) Annie moved with James to AR later. James had a sister Ruth (from a later marriage of Annie's) who married a HOWARD and lived in St. Louis until her death sometime after 1959 as she is listed as a survivor in his obit. Family rumor has it that William's mother's name was Rose, but so far this is just a rumor. Any information would be greatly appreciated. ...I am being to think I am the descendant of aliens!

Kevin, I went to school for 7 years at Sacred Heart Parish in Saginaw, grades 1-7 and lived there until I was 25 years old and never knew of a Sacred Heart Parish Cemetery. Jerry

Hello All, I am searching for any information anyone can provide regarding and surviving cousins or otherwise for the DANIEL P. and MARY GILLIE GORMAN family, of Merrill and Saginaw, Michigan. Mary GORMAN'S parents were James GILLIE and Mary Jane SHANNON. James and Mary Jane emigrated to Merrill, Michigan around 1870-1880. Mary Gillie GORMAN was born about 1875. There were other Gillie cousin's but I have no information as of yet. James and Mary Gillie are buried in the Sacred Heart Parish Cemetery in Saginaw and I think Daniel Gorman is either there or in the Lakefield Cemetery in Merrill. Mary Gorman the organist for Sacred Heart back in 1905-1915 and she was quite a colorful lady. She used to live on the corner of Midland Road and M-46 in Merrill, in a large white house that was moved and eventually burned down to accommodate a larger parking lot for the W. L. Case & Sons Mortuary. She was well known for her cheery "YOO HOO" that she would shout to just about everyone in the township. She owned the first electric car in Merrill and it had no reverse. The driver just switched sides in the car. Sadly, Mary passed away in 1948 and she is buried beneath a simple headstone reading just "Mary Gorman 1948." What happened to the rest of her family? The 1910 Jonesfield Township census indicates the GORMAN house had a large family living there. It lists Ethel GILLIE 63 yrs & widowed, and a family named PINKERTON family, Sadie-19, Evelyn-17 and George-15. Does anyone in the Merrill area know anything about these folks. If they're related to my Shannon family search, I'd like them to know they're not forgotten and I would love to hear from them. Like I said, anything is more information than I have right now. Thanks, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA

In the Joplin, MO 1880 census there is a John B. Shannon 52 years old that was born in PA and his mother and father were both born in PA. His wife is named either Nearnet or Neamit and she is 38 years old and also PA, PA, PA. Their children are William 22, David 19, Charles 17, Edward 7, and Bertie 6. John is shown as a Teamster and his wife is Keeping House. willliam is shown as "at Home" David and Charles are shown as Lead miners Charles was born in Illinois Edward was born in KS and Bertie was born in MO. Looking at the ages of John and wife, I would guess that this is his second wife and the three oldest are from his first wife. I am looking for information on William because he may be my ggrandfather. Anyone that has this family in their charts, please contact me or leave a message on rootsweb. Thanks Bob L.

Joe Perry & Donna Shannon I regret I have not found a William connection yet - but - I couldn't resist responding based on conincidence. Not only do I have New York Shannon's that I am tracing but I also have Perry cousins, including the name Joe? The New York Shannon's I am aware of lived at 217 96 St, Kings county?
