I just received some things that were copied from stuff that was saved by my Francis "Frank" Shannon, dau. Arvilla's family. In them was a obit ( more a dearth notice ) from the paper, of Francis wife Nancy Jane. On it was wrote, John "Frank " Shannon. Makes me wonder if he was John Francis and he used his middle name. I have never found another name to go with his Francis. My question, now is, dose any of you have a family in Pa. with a son John Francis borned in or about 1818? Or a John? Apprecate any help here. Thank you. Lois Stegal
