Mike, did you see my posts a few days ago about familytreedna.com (and ysearch.org)? I spoke to someone out of your line and they didn't think it was necessary since it is well documented, problem is for the undocumented it would be nice to have a comparison from that group.

Shannon Mike, could you please post the information here? Many of us believe that Samuel Shannon and William Perry Shannon are brothers. By pooling all available information we may be able to prove it and so go back farther in the line. I descend from William Perry and we have Kellys and Jacksons all through the family. There are a lot of us working on this. Samuel and William Perry had other brothers. Joyce Shannon Zandri

Louise was the second person I ran into when I started my research, at that time she had been researching the line since I was born. I think that was 30 yrs! She used to send me 20 page letters detailing all the connections, also proving them out. My job got to the point where I didn't have time for the genealogy, so I sent all the letters to Joyce Shannon Bridges .who started putting them in the Shannon Searcher. I later talked her into putting them on the internet. Mike Maggie Robinson <maggie.robinson@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Michael Shannon wrote: > Oh, I see what the problem is. You want Mike C. Shannon.

Cindy, My grandmother was Buleah Shannon. Her father was George Dallas Shannon, mother Josephine Vaughn. George Dallas Shannon was born in Limestone County, AL, but Buleah Shannon was born in Pulaski, Giles County, TN (just a few miles over the AL/TN line. They moved to St. Jo, Texas where Buleah married my grandfather James Edgar Harris. Her mother Josephine Vaughn Shannon is buried there, as well as several brothers and sisters. I can't find any other info on George Dallas Shannon, but he may be a connection to the Limestone, AL Shannons you're looking for. Will let you know if I find any more info.

Hi folks I have a photocopy of this Marriage Certificate (Sep 16, 1835) and will be glad to sent fax of jpeg copy to any interested. Now that I am 'retired' I hope to spend more time on getting my records up to date. Cousins Loretta and Ken, please send updates of your e-mail addresses to me. Also, anyone else interested in the Shannon / Kelley/ Jackson line from Clinton, Indiana, please contact me. I have some Shannon information passed on by my recently deceased great aunt Charlotte Ave (Jackson) that I would like to validate. Mike C. Shannon

Hi Everyone, I have been trying to track down information on the Robert W. Shannon, bunch out of Limestone (Athens), Alabama. My understanding is that he and some of his children, including my grandfather, Charles Benjamin (CB) and his brother, Robert Nelson (RN), and half brother, Harry Frye (known as Jack) moved to Wills Point, Texas, in about 1900. He also had 2 daughters whose married names were Mrs. M.M. Bates of Hawley, TX, and Mrs. M. B. Fowler of Yale, Oklahoma. Robert W. had children who remained in Alabama and, I believe that group is still there today. They were sons, J.T. Shannon and George Erskin Shannon. I run out of info with Robert W. If anyone has more, I certainly would appreciate it. Thanks, Cindy

In view of the recent, very welcome, re-activity on this discussion board, it seemed like an opportune time to restate my own interests. >From 1800, or maybe from even earlier, my SHANNON/SHENNAN ancestors have signed their name SHANNAN. At least three generations of them are buried in Cummertrees churchyard, Dumfriesshire. The headstone remembering the eldest begins with the words - WILLIAM SHANNAN who died 21 May 1832, aged 82 years. What I still have yet to find, is a means by which to prove whether he is one and the same as this baby baptised in Buittle parish, Kirkcudbrightshire: 20 July 1749 William, lawful Son to John Shennan and Helen Alexander John Shennan (Shannon) and Helen (Isbel) Alexander moved the family progressively eastward after 1756, towards Dumfries. In 1759 they were in Colvend parish, in 1764 in Kirkbean. Twenty years pass before I have the first sighting of my William Shannan in Cummertrees parish, with the baptism of his first son JOHN SHANNAN on 20 June 1784. What became of John escapes me. The next child NELLY went on to marry DANIEL CURRAN and they baptised a daughter Susan in Cummertrees parish in 1805, before again completely disappearing. William's other children remained in Cummertrees and Annan, with the exception of HUGH SHANNAN who resided in Inch, Wigtownshire. A more widespread dispersal took place with the next generation - one family at Moffat, another at Galashiels and one, at least, going to Australia. In addition to those above, names commonly chosen for descendants were James and Robert. The next generation spread parts of the family over England and abroad. One in particular, JAMES SHANNAN, I estimate to have sailed from England around 1899, when he was 40. Whatever his destination (I would dearly love to identify it) he would have signed his surname the way they all still do, with an "a".

Looks like your line stayed with Kennelley, is that correct? My line is one that changed it to Kinley. John and Jane Shannon Daniel and Jane Shannon Kennelley Alexander and Roxanna Conley Kennelley Daniel and Priscilla Love Kinley Alexander and Sarah Kinley McMaster Amos McMaster, my dad. My count shows us as 4th cousins. I have James Kennelley and Sarah Hovenacker, so since that's your line, I shall assume that your spelling is more accurate than mine. Have no descendancy on this line. Actually my line is the only line which I do have descendancy for, out of the 16 children I show in that generation.

Kay, How are you related to Jane & John Shannon? They are my 4th great grandparents. Their daughter, Jane, married May 26 1803, Daniel Kennelley/Kinley. That makes them my 3rd great grandparents.

I'd forgotten I'd even subscribed to this list! I am trying to find information on my gg-grandfather, Clarence W. Shannon. I know he was living in Pittsburgh in 1870 when my g-grandmother, Josephine Hughes Shannon, was born and was still there in 1900 but I have no information prior to 1870. He was married to a German woman, Sophia Hochmeister (sp?) and although Josephine's death certificate claims her father was born in Pittsburgh, my mother believes it was actually in South Carolina although in the 1860 census it says PA and the 1900 one says Ireland! Children I have for this couple include Rebecca, Henry, Clarence, Richard, Josephine, and Edward. The only other thing I know about him was that he was a paper hanger. Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks! Ellen in Alaska

I am hoping that someone can give me information on John Shannon. He was my g.g.g.grandfather. His son Hugh was born around 1822 in Derry, according to the 1841 census for Hawick, Rox, Later Census states only Northern Island. Hugh's death certificate shows him to illegitimate, father John Shannon and mother Martha McLure (maybe McLure). I know a lot of Shannons came from the Limavady area but I cannot find anything on this family hence my request. Hope top hear from someone Andrew

I am interested indescendants of Gideon Shannon who was in Jay and Blackford Co,Indiana 1860-1900.He was a crippled school teacher and later a judge.He married my ggrandmother Suzannah Smith Garrison(Garretson) 1858 in Jay Co..At that time Susannah had my grandad Reed Garrison with her.I have census of 1860 & 1870 showing more children.I also have a marriage for Gideon in Blackford Co 1875 so I am sure Susannah must have died after 1870 as her younger children are with Gideon and new wife 1880 Blackford Co.Names are mispelled in many of the census such as ; Susan Garretson,Susanna Garretson etc.My grandad in 1860 is Reid Garretson age 8 and 1870 Reed Garrison age 18.I have name and ages for the other children from the census but haven't found anyone who know of them.Anyone who might be interested in this family please email me. Thanks for listening, Jeany Garrison Roark

Louise I have a copy of a Book called "A Mile of Shannon" - a very informative book on the Shannons in South Australia. This was compiled by Margaret (Murray) Vowles of Frankston, Victoria, Aust. in 1990. I have spoken with Margaret many years ago and I am not to sure if she is with us. Let me know what Shannons you are looking for and I will see if they are in this compilation. If they are not then we have another Shannon family in South Australia.
