Sorry about the typos, none of these folks tie to me that I know of as I can not connect to the Virginia Shannons. There are separate entries for many of these folks in the Washington County History. I think I found my copy via alibris and Gave about $40 for it but a new copy is around $250. It is nearly 1700 pages but if you have family from the area it is the best thing I have found....Kelly Shannon --- Kelly Shannon <vasshannon@yahoo.com> wrote: > To Michael and all: This material is from > Washington > County History, Margaret Wilson is author/editor. > > This particular entry was written by a Tommie S. > Taylor. > > "Joseph Shannon is said to have been among the first > settlers of Washinton County.

To Michael and all: This material is from Washington County History, Margaret Wilson is author/editor. This particular entry was written by a Tommie S. Taylor. "Joseph Shannon is said to have been among the first settlers of Washinton County. A will in Lancaster County, Pennsylvanie for Thomas Shannon whose wife's name was Eigness (Agnes) proved April 27, 1737, names children Hohn, Samuel, Thomas Jr, Margaret and Ann. The son Samuel migrated to Virginia and lived at Poplar Hill, now in Giles County. About 1784 Samuel and Jean (Reid)Shannon went to what is now Davidson County, Tennessee where their son Joseph married Mary Billingsley on November 24, 1792. Joseph and Mary later went to Kentucky where their son Alexander is said to have been born near Bowling Green. They later moved to Arkansas and are on the 1830 census living in Cane Hill Township of Washington County. History tells us that a Hugh Shannon was living in Washington County in 1829 and been on a Crawford County tax list in 1821. This writer (Tommie Taylor) is of the opinion that this was the same Hugh who later helped to found Neosho, Missouri. Benjain F. Greer, in writing about his family states that Hugh was his great grandfather but other records seem to point to Joseph as his great grandfather. Benjamin F. Greers mother was Mary Elizabeth Shannon daughter of Alexander. History tells us that Granvill B. Shannon was the son of Joseph and since my parents, Hohn and Nia Shannon, always told me that Granville B. and Alexamder were brothers, this story assumes that Hoseph was the father of Alexander. Either way, the lineage goes back to the Thomas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for Hugh was descended from that Thomas also. Joseph (d. 1831) and Mary (d.1833) had three children we know of, alexander, Granville B. who married Unity Williams and Lavenia who married first Alexander Buchanan and Married second a Mr. Oliver. Alexander Shannon (1813-1890) married first Perniza Oliver (1817-1850). They are both buried in the Dunagan Cemetery near Evansville, Arkansas. There children: Margaret marreid first Elbert S. Williams and second Wiley Be Bailey; Caroline F.married George W. Rodgers; Thomas Jefferson married first Cynthia C. Denton, second Amanda V. Goodrich and third Zoe M. Howerton; Martha J. married a McKinney, Mary Elizabeth married James W. Greer; William Malachi married first Lannie E. Carruthers and second Susan P. Garrett, daughter of James William and Elizabeth (Nail) Garrett. Alexander Shannon married second Sara Crutchfield) Dunagan and they had Lowry B. and J. H. William Malachi "Mack" Shannon was born June 11, 1849 in Washington County and died 1929. By his first wife Lannie Elizabeth Carruthers (1855-1886) who he married on November 19, 1871, he had James Leland, Walter A., Maudie May and Martha Leona who died an infant. By his second wife Susan P. Garrett, whom he married on April 19, 1887, he had two died as infants; Charles Benjamin, died 1912 after sucking straw onto his lungs while wrestling with a counsin; John Wilkins, Myra, last heard from around 1945; Mary Oda, died 1920 and McVandee "Van" died 1966. Around 1920 William Malachi sold his farm and accepted a check as payment. Before he could get to the bank and cash the check the bacnk closed its doors and thus he lost everything he had worked a lifetime to accumulate. John Wilkins Shannon (Born 1889) married Nina Ann Hughes, daughter of Thomas Jefferson, and Annie Eliza (Pumphrey) Hughes, on December 8, 1914 at the home of W.B. McAtee, M. G. Mrs. McAtee insisted that it was bad luck if they stood crosswise the boards in the floor. There was a rug on the floor and they could not tell which way the boards were laid but she soon straightened them out and the ceremony proceeded. John and Nina lived in Washington County for a while and then moved to Adair county, Oklahoma. They mvoed back to Washington County wehre he served as postmaster at Dutch Mills around 1915. They later moved back to Oklahoma. He was killed in a train wreck on the Kansas City Southern Railway in Polk County Arkansas in 1942. Nine still lives (October 1986) at Stilwell, Oklahoma, age 96. They always enjoyed going back to Washington County were their roots were." ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake.

Hi Michael and all, the following is taken from Washington County History (Arkansas) edited by Margaret Wilson. Hugh Shannon headed one of the 26 first families that came from what was Crawford County (consisted of part of Oklahoma, Yell, Logan, Johnson, Franklin, Scott and Sebastion Counties. There was one family in Washington county in 1826 before treaty gave the right to be there to white settlers. Unclear who this is. There are a couple of entries concerning Joseph. First regards the Shannon and Billingsley families. States Joseph family was from old Dominion and settled in Virginia then to Logan County Kentucky and finally to Arkansas. Issac Shannon was born in 1799 in Logan County, Kentucky. There was a William Shannon whose son Sam Houston Shannon was born in Washington County in 9/2/1862 and Sam Houston Shannon married Louisa Sparks on 6/27/1881. The entry for Joseph Shannon is fairly long to retype (volume is too big to scan very well). Since apparently there are length maximums for this mail list I am going to do it as a separate e-mail.

Hello, Thought I'd repost my Shannon Family. Martin Shannon was born in Boyle, Roscommon, Ireland ~1843. He married Catherine Boylan (Boyton) ~1863 and they were parents to five children: Mary (1864), Kathleen (1865), Patrick (1867), Bridget (1870) and my grandfather, Martin (1872). My mother thought that Mary and Kathleen along with their mother died young of scarlet fever. The father died soon after. Martin was raised in the rectory at St. Joseph's Church and Patrick and Bridget (Beezie) remained on the farm. Unable to find any other information on Patrick and Bridget and all the family prior to Martin and Catherine. Would love to hear from anyone who recognizes this family. Pat

The Shannon board is getting a lot of activity so I thought I would ask again about my GG Grandmother Lucinda. Her name was Lucinda (Levendia?) Shannon and married Henry F. Langston. They had one child (Ibbie) born 3/7/1878. Lucinda died shortly after Ibbie's birth in Marion Co. Arkansas Probably before 1880 as Henry remarried around 1881 I know it's not much but Any information would be appreciated. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

You are so right about there being so many Shannons. Do you know anything about a Philip Thomas Shannon D0B 7-1-1911? (Not married but had children by Anna Lucas. She went by the name Shannon). He was a twin to Thomas Shannon who married Martha (Mary). Other siblings are: Joseph, John & Rachael Shannon, (They were both married twice), Nellie (Eleanor Jones), Rena Clemens. (Could have been shortened),Genevieve (Jean) Shannon (married a Lorenz, then a Luning), Bernard (Ike) (not sure where he fits in), Bill & Margaret Shannon, Philip Thomas Shannon was married and divorced to Madeline O'Keefe. I have all the names of their children. We have exhausted all avenues on trying to find out where he died, who pronounced him dead. Did he have a funeral, and where is he buried? DOD March of 1976. Last knownplace of residence was in NY. SS# 164-18-9676. Bev

My SHANNON family ended up in Columbia Co., AR (southwest corner of state). My earliest SHANNON is William Henry SHANNON.

As far as I can see they have lived in Van Buren County ever since. Of course by now our family is scattered around, but I haven't been able to find a link to any other Shannons in Arkansas. I am trying to talk my husband into taking the DNA test, he also has a brother and there are lots of cousins who could do it also Rebecca Stephens Shannon

Whew! No wonder there are so many Shannons! None of the names are in my line, but thanks anyway. My Daniel (4great grandfather) had 5 children by Elizabeth and 14 by Lydia. Thomas (my 3 great grandfather) had 9 children by his first wife and was married to three more wives (not all at the same time, I trust!), Nehemiah (married once to Eliza Dunham, and my great great grandfather) had 8, George (married once to Minnie Williams, my great grandparents) had 6, and my grandparents Clara Bull and Charles C. Shannon had 3. Daniel moved from NJ where he was born in 1767 to Yates Co. NY after 1800 when his first wife died. From there the family pretty much stayed around Yates, Livingston, and Monroe Co. If anyone is interested in any of these people, I have a lot of info, but to write it all out would take time. I am still trying to find a connection to the NJ Daniel back in the 1700s. Thanks again.

Hello Joyce, Well it seems that when she came to Texas, she married George W. Robbins, this in 1860 just before the War of Northern Aggression began , There was no issue from this marriage. Well, Mr Robbins joined the Confederate forces and with him went Mark B. Shannon, but it seems that Mark B. Shannon didn't take a shine to the Confederacy and high tailed it to the Northern lines, where he along with the Preece boys fought for the Yankees . Upon the return of George W. Robbins to Texas, things didn't go well, he died in 1867, The Preece clan didn't take to kindly to Southern sympathizers and of course Elizabeth was married to one. You must remember that the folks around Austin didn't want to succeed from the Union and even our revered Sam Houston was kicked out of Office, but that's another story. Well, the Preece clan didn't want anything to do with Elizabeth. She was rather an outcast and thus keep her casket with her. Now, here is an oddity that goes with this story: Elizabeth Shannon is buried near Austin, in the Preece cemetery while William and Elizabeth Preece are buried in Post Oak Bend Cemetery "up the river."

Her girls 3 of them marry into the Preece family. She was not welcome at the Preece homesteads because they were Union men. She is supposed to have slept with her coffin under her bed.
