Dawn I have absolutely no data on William Shannon. His wife Pernina Jane McCartt was born 21 Mar 1853 and died 2 Dec 1896 and is buried in McCartt Family Cem in Gobey TN. My source for this information was Melinda Shannon Freels < melinda.freels@bellsouth.com> post on Morgan Co Queries so possibly you can contact her for more info. Sorry I don't know more. Marcia
