Hi Debra, In order to help you on this, all of us Shannons would have to have Mary's parents names at the least. The more information you can give us the quicker we can piun it down. In ca 1570 John Shannon was born in Scotland. In ca 1600 he had a son, John jr. Sometime prior to 1630, they moved to N. Ireland. In that year Robert, son of John Jr. was born. Robt. had four sons in N. Ireland who migrated to New England. Mine was in Sadebury Township on a sheriff's census there in 1725. He had a son, Samuel who married Jean Reid. In ca 1784, they moved into East Tnn., to Davidson Co., from there their children later move into Logan and Warren Co. in Ky. At a later time one of Samuel's sons, Joseph moved with his children into Washington Co.Ark. Joseph's son Granville settled at Canehill and Evansville in that area. From the little information you gave, it seems you do fit into our family, so here is some "cousins" you can contact that should be able to help.

Mike Shannon My line; John>John Jr>Robt>Thomas>Samuel>Joseph>Granville>Alexander May>James> James Jr>Mike. Ps All our familiy uses the same names and they marry cousins, so the only way to nail a particular person or family down, is through their vital statistics.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply! I wish I could tell you more about my Mary, I haven't any clue as to who her parents or siblings even were. I can however speculate that an Andrew Shannon would have to be connected to her somehow. See Mary A.(Polly)Shannon as our family knows her to be married in Morgan,Co.TN. abt 1829 and on the 1830 Morgan,Co.Census there is only 1 other Shannon, Andrew Shannon 0202001 - 1021001, I am thinking that this Andrew would have been old enough to be her father but I have nothing to go on. Who was this Andrew? Who was his wife? Who are his parents/siblings? Could Andrew be the father of my Mary?
