I believe that the part of Giles Co. where the Shannon's settled was formed from Montgomery Co. which in turn was part of Fincastle Co. at the time of the Shannon arrival. There are some surviving records of the old Fincastle Co. in, of all places, the Draper collection of the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
