Yep, that's him, supposed to have been killed by bushwackers, after his death, wife Elizabeth (Watkins) Shannon moves to Texas with her children and some of the step children. 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. I have several stories about her. Doneva wrote: > Jimmy: Is that the David W. Shannon found on the 1850 census in Neosho, Newton, Missouri who was born in Tennessee? Wife is Elizabeth, b. Ark.

My late husband's family had a lot of slaves and they took the Shannon name, they were in Kershaw county, SC. The slaves names were in the will and I posted the information on those slaves to the Roots-L Slaves list. The names was Slaves-L. But, I don't know how that would help because as soon as they took the Shannon name, they also took on Anglican 'given names'.

Cleveland published in 1873 in Penn Yan, New York, pages 941-45 in the chapter on the Town of Starkey, as well as additional excerpts from the other pages indicated in brackets. DANIEL SHANNON. Was born in Sussex Co., N. J., in 1767, and there married Elizabeth Wade, born in 1771. She died in New Jersey in 1800, leaving five children, Noadiah, John C., Eunice, Polly and Thomas. He married, in 1800, a second wife, Lydia, daughter of James Raplee, Sr. She was born in 1782. [From p. 932, 940: "James Raplee was a native of New Jersey, as was his wife Byer Morse. They followed their son Stephen with the residue of their family, and settled near the Lake on Indian Run, in the neighborhood of the Shannon Mill, in 1805. Their children who were all born in New Jersey were, Andrew, Stephen, Joshua, Ezra, James, Thomas, Lucretia, Lydia, Byer, Elizabeth, Sarah and Polly. In its descendants this is the most numerous family in Yates County. The name which was at first ROBLYER, was changed by Judge Nehemiah Raplee, of Dundee, to its present orthography, and by common consent that is now the family name. It was of French origin. . . . LYDIA, daughter of James Raplee, Sr., was the second wife of Daniel Shannon." Emphasis added."] In 1806 they came to Reading, now Starkey, and settled at the mouth of Indian Run, buying of Simeon Potter two hundred and forty-six acres for four hundred thirty-one dollars. The next year they bought sixty acres for three hundred and seventy dollars. In 1817 they bought five hundred acres, including the south halves of lots 10 and 26, of the Potter Location. They then moved a short distance west from the Lake where they remained through life. He erected on Indian Run, a grist mill, saw mill, ashery and distillery; and afterwards at Shannon's Corners he built a saw mill and clothing works. The clothing works have been changed into a grist mill, which remains in operation to the present day. He also built a saw mill and clothing works on Big Stream, now known as the Union Mills, at Dundee. He was also largely engaged in boating on Seneca Lake and the Seneca and Mohawk rivers, previous to the construction of the Erie Canal. He built twenty-four boats for this lake and river navigation, and was afterwards interested in Canal navigation. In New Jersey he was a merchant and also a millwright. He conducted a large business and was a valuable man in the early period of the country. He died in 1851 at eighty-four. His second wife died in 1854, at seventy-four. The children by the second marriage were Daniel, Elizabeth, George W., James, Robert L., Mark, Henry N., Harrison, Joshua L., Lydia, William, Sally and Samuel B. Noadiah, the oldest of Daniel Shannon's children, born in 1788, married Sally Little, in New Jersey. They lived first on the sixty acres forming the second purchase made in Starkey by his father, afterwards near Shannon's Corners, and later moved to Lodi, sold his farm there to John Starkey, and finally died in Hector, at fifty-five. His children were William, Daniel, Thomas Jefferson, Lydia, Emily, Clayton, Loretta, Elizabeth, Philinda, Elmira, Martha and Lewis M. None of these reside in Yates county, except Martha. She married Tewalt Walling of Starkey. They reside on a part of the Shannon homestead. Thomas J. born in 1810, married Jane Dunn. They had a large family, one of whom, Lewis, married Huldah, sister of Emery McLoud, of Starkey, and resides on a part of the Shannon homestead. John C. born in 1791, married Anna, sister of Clarkson Martin, born in 1801. [From p. 1034: "Clarkson Martin was born in the city of New York in 1797. His father was Peter Martin, who was born in 1772. His mother Sarah, was born in 1776. Peter and Sarah were married in 1794. He died in New York city in 1804. Their children were Clarkson, Anna and Mary C. Clarkson came to Reading in 1816, bringing his mother, then a widow, and his sisters."] In 1816 he and Timothy Hurd and Richard Lanning bought of Wilkes & Simond, merchants of New York, one hundred and eighty acres of land on Big Stream, about a mile and a half below Dundee. There he resided through life, owning the stone mill. In 1826 he was killed by his team and wagon falling off the bank of the ravine into the mill pond of Timothy Hurd, on the Eddytown road. He was a man of enterprise and likely character. His wife died in 1839. Their children were Sarah, Peter C., Samuel W. and John C. Sarah married James Holden of Starkey, and died in 1841, at twenty-two, leaving a daughter, Sarah. Peter C. died single, in 1847, at twenty-five. Samuel W. died at twenty in 1843. John C. born in 1825, married in 1847, Mary Ann, daughter of Samuel Conklin. She was born in 1827. They own and reside on his paternal homestead. Their children are Samuel W. and Mary E. Eunice born in 1793, married Henry Osman, son of Daniel Osman, who was born in 1783, in New Jersey, and came to this country in 1807.
