I have a James Luther Shannon born in Joplin, Missouri 5/21/1875 (city is questionable). His father was William Hugh Shannon--nothing known on DOB, location etc. Mother was Amanda Homes be 3/11/1849. James Luther was my grandfather and my mother remembers him telling that either his father or grandfather was a direct immigrant from Ireland. The dates are pretty close. One of James' sons was also names Joseph supposedly after a family member. Do you know any of the other children? Exactly what area or how long there were in Missouri?
