My SHANNON line comes from Sarah SHANNON who married Jeremiah LEAVITT and then joined the Mormon Pioneers in their journey west. Sarah never made it to 'Zion' or UT, as she died during the long journey in Adams Co., IL, USA. A brief sketch of the line, starting with the first ancestor that I have: Cutts SHANNON (1663, NH) m. Mary VAUGHAN Nathaniel SHANNON (1689, NH) m. (Unknown) (SHANNON) Thomas SHANNON (bef 1725, NH) m. Anne RAND Sarah SHANNON (abt 1765, NH - 1840, IL) m. Jeremiah LEAVITT I Any additions or corrections are welcome; please contact me at polgara@telus.net. I'm happy to share anything I have with any cousins out there. Cheers, Laury Walkey polgara@telus.net
