Hi Dorothy, I am sorry that I couldn't answer you sooner, my computer is old and it won't stay connected, I have to keep resetting the modem. Anyway I feel with certainty that you maybe right. Tell me what areas your people were in. My Duncans were known to be in Grainger,Roane, Morgan,Cos in TN. I am wondering what year your Agnes Duncan was born? My Craven Duncan was b.abt 1798, I am looking through all of my papers (which isn't much) Debra At 06:58 AM 03/03/2002 -0800, you wrote: >I can't make the connection for your Mary, but I suspect she connects with >my Shannons.

Hi Dorothy, Thanks for the info you sent. Did you also send it to Debra? I'm sure she will be very glad to get it. I'm about as sure as I can be that the info you sent is on the family she is looking for. Many of Andrew's decendants lived in Morgan County, Tennessee at one time. Morgan County Tennessee is probably about 75 miles east of here and I have been there. Welthy

I have Shannons surfacing in Utica, Venango Co., Pa.. I have Elizabeth Shannon born 1841 in Utica and married to David Rice. Her father was Samuel Shannon born 1796 and married to Elizabeth Minnick. From here back, I am at a stone wall. Harry

Alas.........I don't have a Mary Shannon. LOL But I do have a Margaret Grimlier that married James Shannon. James served in the War of 1812 & Margaret applied for bounty land for this service. Margaret is buried in Claiborne co MS, James probably too. children of James & Margaret: Madison T. William S. Ferdinand A. Benjamin Franklin.....MY LINE Sarah Ann Percy Lanoni Sydneyham Wellingham Priscilla M. James L. are those English names or what? any connections? Joyce

As our Shannon list seems to be growing a bit, I thought it was time for me to reintroduce myself. My grandfathers first wife was Mary Shannon, she was born 12-19-1858, Treanabontry, Bohola, County Mayo Ireland, and died 10-16-1891, at the age of 33, in Shanaghy, Bohola, County Mayo. Her parents were Thomas Shannon and Mary Lavan. Her siblings were, Michael, Patrick, Anne, Bridget and Ellen. Mary Shannon married Patrick McDonagh and they had four children, Bridget, Michael, Mary Ann and Ellen. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Ann

I have Mary Polly Shannon on my list plus her parents, siblings and family, all from Robertson County, TN if that is of any help. Joanne Gibbs ----- Original Message ----- From: Debra Crowell Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 3:04 PM To: SHANNON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SHANNON-L] Mary Shannon Hello all, Is there anyone on this list who has Shannon's in East Tennessee in the early 1800s? I have a Mary A.(Polly) Shannon who was born abt 1812 in TN. the best we can figure. My Mary was married about 1829 to Craven Duncan in Morgan,Co.TN. I would like to finally be able to give Mary her parents and siblings. Does anyone have a missing Mary Shannon? Thanks in advance for any help. Debra Debra Crowell dcrowell@tvn.net

Debra, There were four brothers who settled in New England in the late 1600's or early 170's. I never did develop the lines of the other three, only my own. I think there was an Andrew in there but I really don't know for sure. Sorry. Mike

Hi Debra, When you mentioned Andrew Shannon of Morgan County, Tennessee I knew which family you are talking about. This Andrew Shannon was a son of a William and Katherine/Catherine Shannon whom I believe came from Pennsylvania to what used to be Greenbriar, Virginia- now part of West Virginia. William received a pension for Revolutionary War service while living in Grainger County, Tennessee. What's important here is I know of 3 people who are researching that Shannon family. They are: Sylvia Shannon <bob-sylvia@shaw.ca> Brenda Jones <bjones@lanset.com> and Dorothy Willis <magister@mail.c-zone.net> Good Luck Welthy

Hi again, I just noticed that I forgot to list Mary & Craven's children, they are: Enoch R. b.1832 , married Elizabeth Scott Orlenia J. b.10-10-1834, married Albert J. Hurt Melinda b.1836 Mobelia b.1838 Elizabeth b.1840 Agnes Hope b.1841 Delilah b.1845 Mary A. b.1846 Ruth b.1848 Rachael b.1850 Minerva b.1853 Rebecca b.1853 Does any of theese names look familiar?

I have a Mary Ann (Polly) Shannon Born on 11/3/1809 in NC, died 7/11/1889 in Hickman Co., TN. She married a William Finley, Jr about 1825 and they had five children.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply! I wish I could tell you more about my Mary, I haven't any clue as to who her parents or siblings even were. I can however speculate that an Andrew Shannon would have to be connected to her somehow. See Mary A.(Polly)Shannon as our family knows her to be married in Morgan,Co.TN. abt 1829 and on the 1830 Morgan,Co.Census there is only 1 other Shannon, Andrew Shannon 0202001 - 1021001, I am thinking that this Andrew would have been old enough to be her father but I have nothing to go on. Who was this Andrew? Who was his wife? Who are his parents/siblings? Could Andrew be the father of my Mary?

My error, Anna Shannon, daughter of Thomas and Eigness/Agnes was married to William Crow(e) Samuel Shannon (son of Thomas) was married to Jean Reid, their daughter, Anna was married to James Marrs and that is my line.

I have Andrew listed as son of Robert born 1630 in Munster, Ireland and Annal Shannon. His will was filed in 1761 Strahan(e) Township, York, Pa.

Thomas Shannon was born in 1676 in Londonderry, Ireland. He died in Apr 1737 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Thomas married Eigness\Agnes and was born in 1686 in Ireland. She died in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They had the following children: Margaret Shannon Anna Shannon married James Marrs John Shannon Samuel Shannon Thomas Shannon , Jr. I am descendant from Anna Shannon and James Marrs My 2nd Shannon line is: William Shannon was born in 1720 in Ireland. He died on 5 Jul 1784 in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. William married Mary O.. Mary was born in Ireland. She died in 1793 in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. William and Mary had the following children: John Shannon William Shannon was born in May 1745. James Shannon Robert Shannon Hugh Shannon was born in Feb 1756 in Peters Twp., Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. Joseph Shannon was born in Aug 1758 in Peters Twp., Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. Jean Shannon Nathaniel Shannon was born in Jul 1764 in Peters Twp., Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. David Shannon Samuel Shannon was born in Nov 1773 in Peters Twp., Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. Nathaniel and Isabella Shannon is the line I descend from. Both Shannon lines are listed at http://www2.1starnet.com/cgenzel/shannon.htm Carolyn Shannon Genzel http://www2.1starnet.com/cgenzel

I can't make the connection for your Mary, but I suspect she connects with my Shannons. I believe the Andrew in the census is connected to them too. One reason I think she is "one of ours" is the name "Duncan." But how the connection works? There I fail you. Nevertheless, here is an outline of what I know. William and Katherine Shannon recorded a deed for 395 A of land on Turkey Creek in Greenbrier County of what is now West Virginia, in 1787. The farm lay between Turkey Creek and Dropping Lick Creek about five miles south of the present town of Union in what is now Monroe County, West Virginia. They were there at the time of the 1783 Census. In 1794 they sold 195 A to Sarah Henderson. The next year they sold the rest, 200A, to Walter Neal, and moved to TN. They lived on the Clinch River, eighteen miles from Knoxville.

Hi Debra, In order to help you on this, all of us Shannons would have to have Mary's parents names at the least. The more information you can give us the quicker we can piun it down. In ca 1570 John Shannon was born in Scotland. In ca 1600 he had a son, John jr. Sometime prior to 1630, they moved to N. Ireland. In that year Robert, son of John Jr. was born. Robt. had four sons in N. Ireland who migrated to New England. Mine was in Sadebury Township on a sheriff's census there in 1725. He had a son, Samuel who married Jean Reid. In ca 1784, they moved into East Tnn., to Davidson Co., from there their children later move into Logan and Warren Co. in Ky. At a later time one of Samuel's sons, Joseph moved with his children into Washington Co.Ark. Joseph's son Granville settled at Canehill and Evansville in that area. From the little information you gave, it seems you do fit into our family, so here is some "cousins" you can contact that should be able to help. Jerry Pricher jpricher@worldnet.att.net Tommie Taylor tommie-t@worldnet.att.net Joyce Shannon Bridges JSBRIDG@aol.com Sheila Shannon Lawson sheila_shannon@hotmail.com Rita Zieber pookie50@hotmail.com Widget gswbs@vt.edu Good Luck! Mike Shannon My line; John>John Jr>Robt>Thomas>Samuel>Joseph>Granville>Alexander May>James> James Jr>Mike. Ps All our familiy uses the same names and they marry cousins, so the only way to nail a particular person or family down, is through their vital statistics.

Debra, I have 2 Shannon lines. One from Thomas and Eigness/Agnes Shannon and the other from William and Mary O. Shannon. My Shannon information is located online at http://www2.1starnet.com/cgenzel/shannon.htm Let me know if you find a connection and I will be happy to share what I have with you.
