Hi Bev, I guess I don't understand what your problem is. I almost never get replies to my queries in that site. I guess nobody who reads those things knows anymore about my Shannons than I or you do. I don't believe anybody is trying to be secretive, I think it's just that the people who might know something about the Shannons people inquire about. either aren't interested or aren't researching "those" Shannons.. and often don't know enough about their own Shannons to recognize if they are possible relatives. I believe a very limited group of people know anything about "MY" Shannons, and this is probably especially true since I have no idea who my Joseph Shannon's father was. That could well be a great part of the defining factor. My guess is, there are probably several "leads" that could be investigated and I've thought of some, such as- spouces of your Thomas and Philip's siblings. Also, such as do you know if Madeline Theresa O'Keefe remarried and/who if you do know because checking that out on the Soc. Sec. Death Index might provide some sort of leads. If I think of any more possibilities, I'll send them. Welthy

You are so great. Sincerely meant. When I go to this site and try to get on the pages that some of these people have created, there are problems. And Joyce, I need to ask if I should send in a new query? And, you know what? I, 99% think that Josephine Walls and Lillian G hunter are a piece of the secret. Not one person will open up on that, and in Jimmy Kerr's genealogy (?) they are also listed in there (I want to say at the very end. But! private. GRRRR... Thanks, Bev

Oh Kelly don't go to any trouble. I am about to do the DNA testing - well, I am getting my brother to. We are descendants of the New Hampshire Shannons, emigrant ancestor Nathaniel b. 1655. He was the customs officer for the port of Boston for many years, then his family spread out through NH and my branch over to Canada and down to Wisconsin. There was at about the same time a group of Shannons in Pennsylvania; in fact there was a Nathaniel who fought in the Revolution. I believe the emigrant in that case was a John Shannon b. 1676, Muenster, Ireland. That, as I understand it, is the group that headed south through the Carolinas. Both families are I guess what you would call Scots-Irish. Once I get my DNA results I will report back.

Hi Sue, I don't know. There are two ways to answer your question. One way would be to ask the current contributors at ysearch.org that have the Shannon name if they are descended from either group. There is a Michael Shannon in the familytreedna data base that believes he is from the Pennsylvania Shannon's (assume not the same Michael I have recently communicated with here) and he may well be in ysearch.org or could be if asked since he has had it done already. The other way is to get direct line Shannon males from each group to do the DNA tests. The one person that I communicated with from the Thomas Shannon line indicated he did not think it was necessary since his family was so well documented. Problem with that response is it doesn't help to sort out the rest of us that may not have such a clear documentation. If you could better formulate the question, I would be glad to send it as an email to the Shannons in ysearch. I can't send a huge file so something like a paragraph with origins/primary known information about the the New Hampshire group and the same about the Pennsylvania group would work.

The Washington County history says that both Hugh and Joseph were from the Thomas Shannon group. I suppose that is what they mean about the Shannon's there early on. My group wasn't there permanently until the 1870's. When the troubles broke out, my gg-gd father William (after small matters like most of the town being burned) left Sarcoxie Missouri and joined the confederacy, his wife and children went to Texas. They were at his father in laws Thomas Neale in Missouri on 1870 census but then moved to Arkansas during the 1870's. My g-gdfather attended medical school in Joplin (I have the real sheep's skin diploma and a lot of the course work information). Someone posted my grandfather's autobiography on the latter day saints website. It is quite interesting. (his name was Ober Lee Shannon 1874-1955) and was born a few miles out of Siloam Springs.

Hi Betty, see my response to Michael. There were various groups of Shannons, perhaps not related there at the same time. Odd that the names were so often the same.

I think I have it, although I might have to rethink that, I know I have the one that traces the line of Nathaniel Shannon. My family oral history fits with the Thomas Shannon group then that gets all mixed up. Our family history (which appears bogus at this point) was that two brothers who were physicians came from County Clare around 1800. It then picks up with first being in Pennsylvania then going East and then back to Missouri then Arkansas. What I can reasonably say based on DNA is that my ggg-gdfather was born in 1797, not clear if Virginia or Maryland, but in any case lived his life in Maryland basically as an illiterate farmer and received a pension for the War of 1812. My gg-gd father had indicated on a census that his father was born in Virginia. It may be that my gggg-gd mother, who I suspect from census data might have had the first name of Chloe was the widow of one of the Virginia Shannons but at least one of her children (my ggg-gd father) was fathered by someone else. Best bet on that given the fact that I am the same 36 of 37 markers with with an engineer named Allison as my proved cousin Donald Shannon who is descended from the same ggg-gd father. Who knows. Anyway hope the information helped and I do recommend the source. Kelly Shannon --- Michael Shannon <m.shannon77006@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Kelly, Thanks for that.

Kelly, Thanks for that. There is another book by Dexal Shannon that gives Thomas'(who m. Eigness) line from 1571 to the present.
