Alex Any possibility of a male descendant named William who married an Annie BURNS? William and Annie were married before 1897 when my great-grandfather James William Raymond Eugene SHANNON was born in St. Louis, MO. William supposedly died circa 1897-98. >Hello all, >Is anyone researching the Shannon family (from County Cork) who arrived on >the ship COLUMBUS which arrived at N.Y. on 21 Nov 1849 from Liverpool? >John, 36, Peggy, 34, Patrick-12, Peter-8- Bridget, -11, Mary, age 9, >John age 4 >and Julie age 12? >I am descended from Peter Shannon who by 1861 was in Ohio and was married to >Mary last name unknown. >By 1865 this family was in St. Louis Mo. where they lived out their years. > >Please respond to >Alex at [email protected]
