I am trying to find information on William Hugh Shannon born about 1829 in Arkansas. The 1850 census for Newton County, Missouri shows him age 21 and living with a family "Kearney?" with the head of household a woman named Catherine. The census also lists Elizabeth and George as Shannon's and as Kearney's so it could be there really were 2 Elizabeth's and 2 Georges. He does not show up on the 1840 census. He lists his father and mother as both born in Kentucky. William Hugh and Amanda Holmes married 2/24/1874 in Newton County, Missouri. I have not been able to find any records of him from 1850 again until 1880 when he shows up on the 1880 census for Arrant County, Texas. On this census it shows he is married with 6 children. Amanda Holmes is his wife and it seems like she is a second wife. There are three children before their marriage: Nancy VS., Mary Eliza, and William HE. Then there are three after their marriage: James I, Arthur, and Evart. This is my great grandfather and I would really love to get any information.

The reason I put out this query is because family stories state that our John Shannon was the first cousin of George and all the rest of that family, as our John's father was the brother of George d. 1803 Belmont Co. Hope I am making that plain and not confusing. Now all that I have ever read about George d. 1803 is that he was an orphan whose mother died on board ship from Ireland and that his father left him in the care of others while the father went back to Ireland and that ship was lost at sea. No where have I ever found a mention of a sibling for George d. 1803. It is such a prominent family that some members surely have done an extensive search. Do you know the origin of George d.. 1803 - and if he had at least one brother? I would be interested in how you are connected. I found a person - Ruth Monroe Story - who was a great grand daughter of George who went on the L & C. She donated an item belonging to that George to the Oregon History Center in Portland, Oregon. I recently obtained a picture of it. I live just south of San Francisco and am originally from Portland - I plan on dropping by the History Center in a few weeks on a trip north to Portland. If you are indeed a descendant of George of the L & C, I have also recently obtained 2 articles about him from a Ranger who did research for me at the L & C Interpretative Center in Great Falls, Montana. I will anxious to hear from you and thanks for responding! Marlene Marlene DiGiovanni MarleneDiGi@prodigy.net

Okay.Thanks. Mike

Mike, I can't help with the Marrs data. They are a little beyond my scope, so I don't know where it might be best used.

Hi Mike, I have Shannon--Marr families. If possible, I'd appreciate having the info you offered Russell. Many thanks. Dorothy Shannon

Mike- I believe the brothers Samuel and Capt. Wm. Shannon (sons of John Shannon and Sarah Reid) served under George Rogers Clark, not the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Both died in Shelby Co. KY, Samuel on 15 May 1813 and Capt. Wm. 5 July 1794.

Can anyone help? Looking for information on the following relatives: Hugh Shannon born Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland 5 June 1885. James Shannon born Hawcik, Roxburghshire, Scotland 23 March 1890. John Shannon born Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland 20 July 1892. Went to America? Returned to enlist WWI. All three enlisted in the Black Watch Regiment on 11 June 1915. John and James Shannon were commissioned and posted to Duke of Wellington's Regiment and a Northamptonshire Regiment respectively. Unable to trace after WWI therefore maybe all three immigrated to the USA. Looking for assistance. Thanks. Andrew.

Hello all, I just wanted to say that if any of you have sent me an email in refrence to my Shannon search and I haven't replied please resend it to me. My computer is giving me fits and isn't working right, I am not recieving all of my mail and not allowed to send out much either. I get lots of error messages, page faults, my modem has to be continually reset, my disk drive won't open, computer says I have no cd drive and no internet explorer ect.... I can't hardly stay connected for more than 5 minutes at most as computer kicks me offline. My computer is being a real pain. Yesturday my computer technician has told me that I am going to have to replace this computer with a new one, he says my hardrive/modem is done for and my monitor is going out. Hopefully he will be able to save all of my FamilyTreeMaker files before I loose them. So if you have sent me a message please resend & please be patient for a reply. So Sorry about this email and please be patient with me & thanks for understanding my need to write and tell you whats got me behind. Debra Debra Crowell dcrowell@tvn.net

Hi Esther, have you read about the "Peter Robinson Settlement" where 9 boatloads of 2,024 Irish came over to Peterborough , Ontario and settled. There were Shannons amongst them. I have a book on this. I also have Shannon's in my family, going back into the 1700's. Dorothy (Kennelly) Cote ........from Erie, PA. USA.

I thought I would share a little Shannon trivia with the list. Yesterday, (March 3, 2002) my dad, George Verdelle Shannon had a brief life history published in the Paris, TX newspaper. On Feb. 22, 2002 he turned 90 years old. I posted the article on the internet at http://www2.1starnet.com/cgenzel/daddy.htm It takes a while for the graphics to load and you may have to click on refresh to view them all. Carolyn Shannon Genzel http://www2.1starnet.com/cgenzel/shannon.htm

Is anyone out there related to or know about the ancestors of my SHANNONS who came to the Kingston, Ontario, area from Ireland in 1820? William Shannon was born Jan. 17, 1817 and died in Canada Nov. 14, 1901. He married Ellenor McNeely Apr. 5, 1842. His father was Robert whose first wife was ? Aldridge and 2nd wife Margaret Bates. They were Wesleyan Methodists. One source (1901 census for Frontenac County, Ontario) says this family came from County Down but others say County Cork. I've been stuck at this point for a long time. Sincerely, Esther Crebbin Mitchell Victoria, Canada

My SHANNON line comes from Sarah SHANNON who married Jeremiah LEAVITT and then joined the Mormon Pioneers in their journey west. Sarah never made it to 'Zion' or UT, as she died during the long journey in Adams Co., IL, USA. A brief sketch of the line, starting with the first ancestor that I have: Cutts SHANNON (1663, NH) m. Mary VAUGHAN Nathaniel SHANNON (1689, NH) m. (Unknown) (SHANNON) Thomas SHANNON (bef 1725, NH) m. Anne RAND Sarah SHANNON (abt 1765, NH - 1840, IL) m. Jeremiah LEAVITT I Any additions or corrections are welcome; please contact me at polgara@telus.net. I'm happy to share anything I have with any cousins out there. Cheers, Laury Walkey polgara@telus.net
