He was born approximately 1806 and married Jane McKnight Shannon. Their daughter Nancy is buried in Keyes Cemetery, Itawamba County, MS as well as my ggrandfather A V Griffin (10th MS) and AV's wife. I am interested in any information you may have on Joseph's burial place, parents, etc. According to the Itawamba County census he was born in NC. Family legend has it that they were hog drovers and may have been from Wales originally. Are you related to him also? Thanks, Donna Slack Stewart

They want a lot of money for this, but maybe if a few people want to go in on it together and then post the names and etc from the Bible for every one on the list. 10 people would come to $12.50 each assuming there are no more bids. There are 17 hours left on the auction.

----- Original Message ----- From: RONALD & BETTYE WOODHULL To: JIMMY KERR Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 11:39 AM Subject: Andrew Pickens Shannon/Mary E. Dyer Greetings fellow Texan! This Dyer descendant lives in Ft. Worth. (I found your snail mail address listed on something on GenCircles last night). I have been in contact with a John C. Pickens who has an extensive listing of all the Pickens from their earliest settling in Abbeville District, SC and other plantation places;; however, he informed me that the descendants of Anne Pickens and David McKnight Shannon have been at a total loss to him. He does know that Anne died when she lived on their plantation in Itawamba Co. MS. and that she had a son Andrew Pickens Shannon and married to a Mary E. ??. I informed him that Mary E. was a Dyer and the third child born to John A. Dyer and Leannah ??( thought by the most folks I have had contact with to believe her last name might be Pruitt.) I gave him the names of the seven children that I had; he was so delighted to get this after searching for 18 years on this line. You and Donald Pate, also listed on a David McKnight Shannon site, are the first people to identify Mary E. as a Dyer. My connection to this family: As I stated, Mary is child #3. My gr. gr. grandfather, 1st. LT. George B. Dyer was killed at Ft. Donelson, TN in Feb. 1862 during the Civil War. He was child #7 out of John's and Leannah's ten children... George and Nancy Cody Dyer had Martha Jane Leannah Bowling, James Dudley (Jim Dud) and my gr. grandmother, Sarah Catherine. Sarah had my grandfather, Arthur Griffin when she was a 16 yr. old unwed. Arthur's father is considered to be a Tarp Aldredge (he was 25 at the time) and a neighbor boy? man?. Sarah later married a Wm. Maxfield Kennedy when my granddad was 8. They had 5 or 6 children and Mr. Kennedy had 5 (an infant who needed a mother) when they married. I have a copy of my g. grandmother's own telling of how Mr. Wiginton, her step father, literally threw her out of the house when it became known that she was pregnant and ordered to never set foot in his home again. The kindness or her dear sister and her husband took her in! before Arthur was born as she was forced to do menial labor where ever anyone would offer her work. One of the Kennedy descendants had her tell her story and she wrote it down. I was saddened to hear she had this hard time, but it tells about the morning when she was three and her father, George, left for the war and I guess never made it back home as he went in in Sept. 1861 and died in Feb. 1862. Arthur married Ila Estell Sullivan, also of Marion Co. AL. They had 13 children and my mother, Minnie Mae Dyer Stone is their first born. The Stone line dates back to before the settling of Jamestown, VA (1607). My immediate descendant of the Stones were on the 1790 Census in VA and they pioneered in SC, GA and several counties in So. central AL before moving to what was called Chickasaw nation Land that eventually became Marion Co. AL and Itawamba Co. MS. This family, John and Annie Lyle Stone, their sons and sons-in-law were the first white purchasers of the Chickasaw Nati! on at the federal land office in Pontotoc, MS. What am I doing searching the Shannon line? Well, a son of one of my Dyer cousins, one Col Donald Jones, a highly decorated F16 pilot during Desert Storm, was working on the Dyer/Sullivan families when he died at 45 from cancer. He was researching every descendant of John and Leannah. I managed to talk Don's mom into letting me have copies of all of his notes and I became hooked (line and sinker) in genealogy. My goal is to complete his work (in his name and as a Memoriam) and offer it to descendants who want it at cost. The greatest reward I can get from printing Don's work will be to present his mom and dad with a copy. After all, they gave their only child to our U.S. Air Force for 23 years and they didn't catch his cancer in physicals to save his life. Don kept my three sons safe and protected while they finished college and pursued careers. BTW, those three sons are an artist, a commercial architect and a college prof. I have five grandchildren. Getting ready to go to the San Angelo area to see Old Fort Concho and the Buffalo Soldiers performance this week-end. The prof.'s wife is Cynthia Ann Harding, born in Odessa and raised in Andrews. Her parents were teachers there. I hope you can offer me some help in continuing the Mary E. Dyer Shannon's family line. If you can't, do you know anyone who can help me locate someone of them?

Missouri, his parents were John Wilson Brimer and Mary Carden Brimer of Hamilton Co. Tenn. He was an older half brother to my grandmother and headed west to Oklahoma while she was still a little girl. There may have been a set of twins in the family someplace--not sure.

Hi, Listers I am sure some of yall connect with this line. Maybe you have some info for this lady. Jimmy ----- Original Message ----- From: RONALD & BETTYE WOODHULL To: JIMMY KERR Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 12:26 PM Subject: Andrew Pickens Shannon Hi Jimmy: You live in a lovely part of the state until a hurricane comes "a calling" . Our youngest son (I have three) is married to a Cynthia Ann Harding, born in Odessa in 1958. Her parents taught at Andrews where she grew up. They met at Stephen F. Austin University in 1980, marrying in '83. They live at Lago Vista on Lake Travis, north of Austin. Can't say I have any further leads on our buddy, Andrew, except to let you know that he supposedly was killed in the Civil War. I have finally received some information from one of Mary E. Dyer's sister's descendants. They were raised in the Austin area and this elderly lady lives in Laredo. I will be 70 myself in Dec. so I have to be careful referring to others as elderly. LOL I hope that I might get greater detailed information shortly and if I do, I have your snail mail address to mail copies to you. Just where in the puzzle do you fit? who descended from? I have gone through some of the Shannon names on your web page and checked those last names on the Yahoo people search for Shannon's in those towns in AR and MS. I got out the Rand map yesterday and even went over every listed town shown for Itawamba Co and the nearby areas to the county. I have numerous choices to either get gutsy to call or to write to to see if any of them know of this Shannon line. I even found a Shannon, MS in Lee Co. I believe. Anyway, it was down in the far right hand corner of the county adjoining to Itawamba. And yes, there were some Shannon's listed in the people search. Keep safe down on the coast during this season approaching us. Bettye Stone Woodhull

I think I finally found MY William Shannon's wife, AND I'm going to New York Saturday. Does anyone know these people (some info follows).

Thanks, Joe Perry theperryfamily@prodigy.net Marriage of William Shannon Shannon, William Spouse : Dulan, Catherine Date/Year of Marriage : 1875 Location : Manhattan County : New York *Certificate Number : 4303 SHANNON, William According to the 1870 Census, he was born in Ireland and 18 years old (about 1852). He lived in the "town" of New Lots in Kings County, NY. He was a farm laborer. The 1880 Census still has him in Kings County, NY, but he is married (to KATIE -- also from Ireland), and has a son John. This one has his age at 30. His address was 260 Nassau Street, Kings County, NY. The 1900 Census has him and his brood at 156 Spencer Street, Brooklyn, Kings County, NY. It has his D.O.B. as June 1858. His children are JOHN, WILLIAM, ALEXANDRA?, VALIE, AND CASWELL. The 1920 Census has him at the same address, but his son John is listed as head of household.

My goal is to complete his work (in his name and as a Memoriam) and offer it to descendants who want it at cost. The greatest reward I can get from printing Don's work will be to present his mom and dad with a copy. After all, they gave their only child to our U.S. Air Force for 23 years and they didn't catch his cancer in physicals to save his life. Don kept my three sons safe and protected while they finished college and pursued careers. BTW, those three sons are an artist, a commercial architect and a college prof. I have five grandchildren. Getting ready to go to the San Angelo area to see Old Fort Concho and the Buffalo Soldiers performance this week-end. The prof.'s wife is Cynthia Ann Harding, born in Odessa and raised in Andrews. Her parents were teachers there. I hope you can offer me some help in continuing the Mary E. Dyer Shannon's family line. If you can't, do you know anyone who can help me locate someone of them?

Unlikely they were married in Amherst due to Agnes would have been only 14 if all the families left in 1774. Lots more diggin to be done!

Was Agnes born in Amherst Co. VA? parents were William and Anna Shannon Crow. Were Anna and William married in Amherst Co. VA? and then went to Montgomery Co? There is proof they were in Amherst County. Unlikely they were married in Amherst due to Agnes would have been only 14 if all the families left in 1774. Lots more diggin to be done!
