Jimmy, That Mark DeWitt was married to Sarah Goddard and had a store in Evansville. He was a brother to Colonel Alexander May Shannon, my Gr-Grandfather. This one lived in Bell Co.,Tx, and married a Maggie. So they are not one and the same. Mike
Jimmy, Can you tell which line Mark DeWitt and Maggie Shannon who lived around Bell Co., Texas are descended from? He hid Sam Bass out at one time. While we're at it, how does Robert and Ora Shannon fit in? He was "Boss" Shannon and lived in Wise Co.,Texas. Mike Shannon pdd101940@aol.com

Ref: which line are you? Thomas and Agnes are my line, but after several years research, it would appear that this line should be changed to the Deadmon and Dexal line, (as these were the orginal researcher). Concering the story of David Wilburn Shannon. The story goes that he was killed by bushwackers, before 1860. This would mean that Southern sympathizers killed him prior to the out break of the "War of Northern Agression". To lend some credence to David having Northern ideas; One of his sons Mark B. Shannon moved to Texas with his step-mother prior to the War. Well his step-mother remarried. The War started and her husband joined a Confederate Unit, as did Mark B. Shannon, not long after joining and apparently at the first chance, Mark B. hastily left the Confederates and joined the Yankees. Thus, if his father favored the Yankee position, perhaps the son did too. On the other hand, back to the orginal question. If David Wilburn Shannon is the son of Hugh Shannon and Jane Marrs, then why have Northern sympathies, because his father owned a slave. Hugh Shannon did, as the slave is buried in the Shannon Cemetery where Hugh Shannon and Jane (nee Marrs) Shannon are buried. Genealogy is sometimes like putting a jig saw puzzle together that doesn't have a picture to work from, only the last names are written on the pieces.

Jimmy, was Hugh Shannon m. to Jane Marrs? I'm trying to find the connection between the Shannon and Marr families. Dorothy
I don't believe Mrs. Hugh Shannon committed suicide, I think someone got away with murder. The law probably just didn't take time to look for the one who did it. Dorothy

If David Wilburn Shannon was killed by Bushwackers as the legend goes, why was he not returned to the Shannon place and buried in the Shannon Cemetery, if Hugh Shannon was his father? Jimmy
I wonder if these two could be Hugh and Jane's children : Mariah 11-7-1807 wife of Hugh Marrs Nancy 8-6-1806 (Mrs Liles?)
