My great grand aunt Margaret Shannon who married Thomas Leonard had moved with her family from Ireland to Hastings County, Ontario. The Shannon's then moved to the states of Michigan, Ohio and Iowa with some staying in Canada. Margaret and her husband Thomas Leonard settled in the Washington Twp. Jones County area of Iowa. Not sure if any other Shannon's moved to that area or not. Leo Stevens

Thomas of Sadesbury Township was a son of Robert who was b. in N. ireland. Robt.'s father was John Jr, son of John Shannon. Both Johns were born in Scotland (ca1570&1600) Thomas had sons John m. Sarah Reid, Samuel m. Jean Reid(yes they are sisters and believed kin of Eigness). When Samuel came of age he moved down into Nelson Co., Va., and later into what is now Giles Co.,Va. He settled in a spot he called Poplar Hill. It is near Pearisburg,Va. He later moved with all his family except eldest son Thomas to Nashville area where he and Jean are buried. His eldest son, Thomas stayed at Poplar Hill, the others spread North and South gradually moving West. My 3rd Grt Grandfather was Samuel's son Joseph who lived in Logan Co.,Ky.

Michael: I am writing to you in response to a note you sent back to Russ Reid. You stated that your 3rd great grandfather moved to northwestern Arkansas with some of his children, one of which was Granville your Gr-Gr Grandfather. I am having a very difficult time tracing my family. My grandfather was Roy R. Shannon. I recently found his obituary, and saw that he was from Van Buren, AR. He was born in 1897.

I have been following this discussion with interest. While researching my East Tennessee Shannon line, those darn Nashville Shannons, descendants of Thomas and his son Samuel led me on many a wild-goose chase! Being in such close proximity to my Shannons, I had to be really careful not to get the lines crossed. While there is much documentation on Thomas, one of the 4 emmigrant "brothers", (and I say that loosely since Shelia Shannon Lawson has pretty much disproved the 4 brother legend) I have found very little on Robert, another of the 4 "brothers". Is anyone else descended from Robert and does anyone else have any primary sources for Robert's line? Thanks!
