When I began my research, I had the rare privilege of speaking & corresponding with a fine gentleman from Washington Co., Lloyd McConnell. He was a big help. He also compiled a book on the cemeteries in Washington Co., it was thru the efforts of many dedicated people that this came into being. I would recommend it to anyone researching Shannons & allied families in the area. It includes many Billingsly, Buchanan, Carnahan, Marrs, Reid,& Scott families tied to the Shannon family. It was put out in 1980. For anyone researching these lines in this area, it would be one to have. Check the Washington Co., Hist. Soc. They possibly can tell you how to get a copy, however of you can't find it, perhaps I can look up a specific name & date for you. Mike
