Hi all, I am new to your list. My, last series of attempts to post here failed to go through. I am looking for volunteers who may have access to tax lists, index of wills or deed excerts/transcriptions to help locate some information on the following family. 1850 census - Tennessee, Gibson Co., Dist. 7 2159 Cannon, Thomas 60 M NC Cannon, Elizabeth 61 M NC Cannon, Lucy 23 F TN Cannon, James 20 M TN Bailey, Mary A. 28 F TN Bailey, Sabilla 7 F TN Leggett, Elizabeth 25 F TN Leggett, Joeseph 6 M TN 2160 Cannon, John 22 M TN Cannon, Elizabeth 21 F TN Cannon, Benjamin 2 M TN ------------------------ James age 20, "could be" my 2x gg James M. Cannon (b. May 1830 in TN d. 1904 in Ripley, Lauderdale Co., TN) who md. Nancy Chipman (1834-1920) in Jackson, Madison Co., TN on Apr 3, 1852. Family tradition says that James was "from" Jackson, TN. The above family is the only James in the general area of the correct age. However, My James states in later cencus that his parents were born in TN, where these folks were born in NC. I would like to attempt to find the time frame this family settled and was in the area, where they may have been prior to this census, and if this Thomas CANNON left a will.... ect... Thanks for any help in this matter. It will be greatly appreciated! Dave Long
