Pete, The Dexal Shannon book will not help. It only asserts that Anna Crow (Mrs. Wm. Crow) was Anna Shannon, daughter of Thomas Shannon and Agness. The evidence is from a series of wills and deeds from Amherst Co. VA. Sometime after the death of Thomas Shannon his son Samuel along with his wife Jean Reid settled near the north fork of the Rockfish River in what is now Nelson Co. VA. In 1750 he received a patent there to 150 acres in what was then Albemarle Co. He was joined there by his brother Thomas Shannon who, in 1761, purchased land on the Rockfish River (by then in Amherst Co. from Wm. Montgomery. A few years later he purchased additional land from his nephew, also Thomas Shannon. This latter deed was witnessed by Ann Crow. Thomas died in 1772 leaving a will again witnessed by Ann Crow. The will mentions a "nephew" Sarah Crow (Ann and Wm. Crow had a daughter Sarah) and unnamed children of William Crow. The will also identified the deceased as the brother of Samuel Shannon. Executors of the estate were Samuel Shannon and James Reid (a younger brother of Jean Reid Shannon). The inference that Shannon genealogists have drawn from this along with the Lancaster Co. PA wills of Thomas Shannon and John Reid is that after the death of Thomas Shannon and John Reid in PA, Samuel Shannon and his wife Jean (daughter of John Reid) settled in Virginia and raised their younger siblings; Ann Shannon and James Reid. Ann eventually married Wm. Crow. Samuel's family and the Crows eventually migrated to Montgomery Co. (now Giles Co.) VA. Hope this helps.

Rosella Brooks cited information from the FamilySearch website. She lists the families of Thomas Shannon of Lancaster County, PA and of William Ewing. She does not state that the Sarah Anne Shannon shown in the former family is the Anne Shannon who is the wife in the latter family, and indeed the birth years of the two women clearly demonstrates that they are not the same person. However, that is the problem that I am trying to address. There are people who claim that they are the same woman. I don't believe it, but I'm trying to prove it. The simplest way to do so, it seems to me, is to demonstrate that Anna Shannon of the 1737 will married someone else, in her case, Capt. William Crow. Another would be to verify the two different birth years of the two women, but I have not been able to verify the year in either woman's case. Incidently, I have records of three marriages between my Ewing family and someone named Shannon. First, there is the marriage between William Ewing and Anne Shannon, shown in Rosella Brooks' posting. Their son (my 4-great grandfather) Andrew Ewing married Susannah Shannon (family records say she was the daughter of Thomas Shannon, but I have never found "which" Thomas Shannon is "ours"). Andrew and Susannah Ewing's daughter, Elizbeth Ewing, married another Thomas Shannon, in Tennessee. I have to believe that these Shannon families are somehow related, but I have not been able to find any proof of any connection. Again, thank you for your help in this matter.

Pete, my Shannon's were in Wilson County, Tennessee from the late 1700's until my grandfather, whose name was John EWING Shannon, came to Texas in 1900. The name Ewing appears several time as the middle name of several in my line. At this point I do not accept this as being a coincidence, there has to have been some family connection. Do you know of any connection between your Ewings and my Tennessee Shannons? -----Original Message----- From: Pete Hamilton [mailto:petehamilton@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 7:07 AM To: SHANNON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SHANNON-L] Shannons and Ewings Many thanks to those who responded to my query regarding Anna Shannon, mentioned in the 1737 Lancaster Co.

Subject: FW: only in america 1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. 2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. 3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. 4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. 5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. 6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. 7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. 8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. (THIS ONE ALWAYS BUGGED ME!) 9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'. 10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. EVER WONDER ~~~~ Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff? Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? ~~~~~ In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.) On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?) On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how??...) On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion.) On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...) On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?) On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.) On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and... I'm taking this because???....) On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?) On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.) On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?) On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.) On a Swedish chainsaw:"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.

Does anyone know was Granville Shannon b. 1801 the son of Joseph Shannon or Hugh Shannon?

Sorry about that. Please read this. The jdbgmgr hoax is almost the same as the <A HREF="http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/#sulfnbk">sulfnbk hoax</A> in that it tells you to delete a program that was installed with Windows. jdbmgr.exe is the Java Debugger Manager and does have an icon that looks like a Teddy Bear. It is not, normally, a virus. As with all executables, it is not impossible to have a copy of jdbmgr.exe that is infected by a virus but that virus will be detected by your antivirus software. Microsoft has posted the article <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q322993">Q322993</A> with information on how to replace jdbgmgr.exe if you have deleted it.

Hi! Please read the following..or do a search for this "hoax".. "Now I have to figure out how to reinstall it!" :) Tamara Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax Reported on: April 12, 2002 Last Updated on: October 16, 2002 04:42:56 PM PDT Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern. Type: Hoax This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager. It is a Microsoft file that is installed when you install Windows. NOTE: Recent version of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm worm, and the fact that the Jdbgmgr.exe file that is mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is an .exe file and does not have a bear icon. The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax: CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384@mm, targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided protection against W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001. NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, some Java applets may not run correctly. This is not a critical system file. The file version may vary with your operating system and version of Internet Explorer. If you want to restore the file, read the instructions in the How to restore the Jdbgmgr.exefile section at the end of this document. Hoax message This hoax has appeared in several languages. Some are as follows: English I found the little bear in my machine because of that I am sending this message in order for you to find it in your machine. The procedure is very simple: The objective of this e-mail is to warn all Hotmail users about a new virus that is spreading by MSN Messenger. The name of this virus is jdbgmgr.exe and it is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the address book too. The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton and it stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. The virus can be cleaned before it deletes the files from your system. In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following steps: 1. Go to Start, click "Search" 2.- In the "Files or Folders option" write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3.- Be sure that you are searching in the drive "C" 4.- Click "find now" 5.- If the virus is there (it has a little bear-like icon with the name of jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON 6.- Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin) 7.- Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN ALL OF YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS LOCATED IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BEFORE IT CAN CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. ----- Original Message ----- From: <LSte040736@aol.com> To: <SHANNON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 1:44 PM Subject: [SHANNON-L] Subject: VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!Please use instructions to DELETE ASAP!!!! > This was given to me by someone else.
