I'm still hunting for info about Nancy Shannon Foreman's parents and any siblings. She was born near Lexington Ky in 1820 and died in Ohio about 1901. She married John Naime Foreman in Ohio in 1838. I'm not sure when she moved to Ohio. Family history says that her parents were killed by Native Americans(when she was a child) but I can't find any record of that or where it would have taken place-Ky or Ohio. She was then to have been raised by neighbors. I'm looking for any hint. Thanks. Trudy

I'm just the 'carrier'....someone sent this to me to see if 'my Shannon's' were related...and I thought I'd pass it on.

Has anyone tracked the different Shannon families in Arkansas? It's clear that the group through Joseph got there circa 1840. My own group came temporarily during the civil war into NW Arkansas and then moved there permanently in the 1870's. This was my great-great grandfather William Shannon and his wife, Arabella Francis Neale Shannon. They are buried in Cherokee, Arkansas. My grandfather, Ober Lee Shannon, was born in 1874 outside of Silom Springs, Arkansas. As I have recommended before, if you know a direct line Shannon male, encourage them to do DNA through familytreedna or similar company if they will post results on ysearch.org The combination of ferreting out the genealogy combined with DNA gives the best chance of really identifying who we do and don't relate to.

THANKS MICHAEL, Welthy Nachtigal

Welthy, Thomas is mine. I haven't researched George or William. Thomas m. Eigness> Samuel m. Jean Reid>Joseph m. Mary Billingsly>Granville B. m. Unity Williams>Alex. May m. Clara Viola Scott>James Alfred m. Dana Sproule>James A. Jr. m. Gloria Gusman>Michael Walter Nachtigal <wnachtigal@twlakes.net> wrote: Hi Michael. If I read your letter right- Thomas, William and George are supposed to be the ones who came "over" together- and were the sons of a Robert. Can you give me any identifying information- such as spouces -or other -to help me identify which Thomas, William and George these guys were? As I'm sure you know, seems like every Shannon family- at least that I ever heard of- including mine, used those names, so I'd like to know which Thomas, William and George they were- and Oh Yes, their Dad Robert too. In my own Shannon family the best explanation I've been able to get is, "Our Shannons have been in this country for a VERY LONG TIME". Big Help- Huh? My second-great-grandfather- another Joseph Shannon was born in Pennsylvania about 1812 and was married in Ohio in 1836. There must have been an absolute hoard of Shannons who migrated from Pennsylvania to Ohio about that time and of course they all had kids named James, William, John etc. Sure can keep one busy trying to sort them out.

Did this Robert and Mahulda Carney Shannon come into Izard Co., Ar.? If so I may have some information on them. My husband descends from a Shannon family who were in Stone co., Ar., but I have never been able to connect them to the Shannon family who came here from Tennessee.
