     George Newton Cannon was born on 19 December 1819 at Kentucky, USA.1 He married Lucy E. Clinkenbeard in 1843.2
George Newton Cannon married Harriett Russell, daughter of Henry Russell and Martha Catherine Susong, on 22 November 1887 at Mt. Vernon Twp., Lawrence Co., Missouri, USA,

Burial     Carterville Cemetery, Carterville, Jasper County, Missouri, USA
     Nothing was told to me about George Cannon's life in Kentucky, just his life in Missouri. He was a farmer,and moved from place to place to new ground. His sons, also farmers, moved their families together, buying adjacent farms in the new place each time.
     His grandson Otho, my grandfather, told me about his grandfather George and his sons working their farms together, one day -or more- on one man's farm, then on another son's farm another day. Otho said they all had beards and looked like the Smith Brothers'picture on the old cough-drop box.When they came into the house at lunchtime in winter, after chewing tobacco, the tobacco juice frozen in their beards would begin to thaw and run, but they would all hug and kiss the babies in whichever house they were. Otho said he could remember trying to avoid their hugs in winter.
     Subsequent generations of Cannon men in this line worked in the lead and zinc mines in Jasper co., MO,near Duenweg, Webb City, Carterville and other towns.

     Recently I've learned about a second marriage for this George Cannon, to Harriet Russell Seneker, a widow, something noone in my family knew about when I asked them a few months ago. This marriage took place when George and his second wife were older, and they resided for a time with his grown son's family. After about two years they each lived with a grown child. This information is from Hallie Davis, a descendant of Harriet's, and from Jody, who started this site. Hallie has a copy of their marriage certificate.

CHURCH CREEK: Church Creek is a town in Dorchester County, Maryland, United States. Church Creek is about 6 mi south of Cambridge. Old Trinity Church, the oldest church building in the US in continuous use, an Episcopal/Anglican brick church built in 1675, is located here. The exact origins of Church Creek remain unclear. Popular tradition maintains that Church Creek predates Cambridge, Maryland as the earliest settlement in Dorchester County, and was first established at some point before 1684 under the name Dorchester Town and then White Haven. However the accuracy of this claim has been disputed by historian Elias Jones, who found no indication of land sales in the area before 1700 in County Land Records. Both the town and river of Church Creek derive their name from the nearby Episcopal church, now known as Old Trinity Church, built c. 1675. In 1867, Church Creek officially became the forty-second Incorporated town in Maryland, and remains one of the one-hundred and twenty-three such towns today. The first major industry in Church Creek was shipbuilding, established at some point before 1767, which took advantage of surrounding forests plentiful with white oak and pine.

     Rebecca Jane Porter was born in Goshen, Rockbridge County, Virginia, United States abt 1731. She was the daughter of William Alexander Porter (1707-1782) and Elizabeth Jane Black Porter (1710-1782).
     Rebecca married Lt Samuel Black in Augusta, Virginia, USA, Samuel was the son of Rev. John Black (1696-1769) and Isabella Brown (1685-1758).
     Samuel and Rebecca Black were the parents of the following known children: Mary, Margaret, Nancy, Samuel, John Michael, William, James and Jane.
     In 1769, Rebecca and her husband owned 200 acres on a branch of Naked Creek, James McConnal's land in Augusta Co., VA. In 1772, this couple owned 180 acres in Beverley Manor on a branch of Lewis' Creek, corner David Black's land in Augusta Co., VA.
     In tracing Rebecca's family on ancestry.com, we learn that she was the great-great granddaughter of Col Edmond Scarborough (1617-1671) and Governor Richard Bennett (1609-1675, and that her roots run deep in the history of Virginia and the USA early history of the colonies of Virginia and Maryland.
     Rebecca died on 15 Mar 1814 in Beverly Maner, Augusta County, Virginia, USA. The county seat of Augusta is Staunton, VA. Augusta County was formed in 1738 from Orange County, although the county government was not organized until 1745. Originally, Augusta County was a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary.

     More information about the Black & Porter families in this book: "Fifty New England Colonists and Five Virginia Families" 1965 by Florence Black Weiland (Mrs. Henry J. Weiland). There is a mistake in this book about my 3rd great grandmother. Her name & find a grave page is listed on the bottom of this page.

Arnold Documentation

Thomas Arnold was born around 1648 in England. He died around 1726 in King George County, Virginia.. The English orgin of Thomas Arnold is unknown. He may be the Thomas Arnold imported by James Keys who was granted 200 acres 3 April 1678 on the north side of the Rappahannock River beginning near the mouth of Doegs Creek (Virginia Land Patent Bk 6 Page 630 ). His actual arrival may well have been somewhat earlier since on 5 Feb. 1677/8 he appears as witness to a deed from ADAM WOFFENDALE and wife, HONORIA, of 200 acres to John Homes (Rappahannock Co. Va. Deeds and Wills 1677-1682 Page 159).

Proceedings of the County Courts of Kent (1648-1676), Talbot (1662-1674), and Somerset (1665-1668)Volume 54, Preface 24

Thomas Powell ( -1670), who first sat on the court in 1665, is known to have been one of the group of Quakers from Lancaster County, Virginia, who were forced out by Gov. Berkeley in 1660, and who settled on the Choptank River. He last appeared on the court in November 1669, a few months before his death early in the following year. He and Howell Powell, who was doubtless a brother, were large landholders, first in Baltimore County and later in Talbot, where they were men of prominence.

Howell POWELL was listed by the GORSUCH family as the husband of Elizabeth GORSUCH (per her grandmother's will?) at the same time that Elizabeth was called the wife of Cornelius HOWARD of AA, MD. I don't know which is correct. Elizabeth GORSUCH was bpt. 13 May 1641, England, & came with her mother, Anne (LOVELACE), wid/o John GORSUCH, to Virginia. Eliz. married Howell POWELL of Lancaster County, Virginia, & moved to MD. [See "Winston of VA & Allied Fam.," 1927, by TORRANCE, 1927 CS 71 W.782; also "Genealogies of VA Fam. fr.

Jane survived John and about 1698 or 1699, she married Thomas B. Burnett who was co-administrator of John's estate.
They managed the estate for some years: Thomas Burnett of South Farnham Parish, Essex Co, on 6/16/1728 & wife, Jane, sold 500 acres of the 1372 acres of John Powell's land in Occupacia-Piscataway area and John Powell, Jr (Jane's stepson) was a witness.

John Powell, Jr, presumably upon coming of age, sold some of this land to John Battaile. The minor Powell children were reared by a stepfather and a stepmother from 1698 to their maturity, perhaps with an assist from elder brother, Robert Powell, of (unreadable) Co, to whose neighborhood they migrated later

Research notes from Toby Williams

Sylvester and William Thatcher/Thacker/Hacker/Hatcher lived in southside Virginia before they moved to Lancaster in the 1650s. Sylvester Hatcher sold Anthony Fulgham 100 acres in Isle of Wight County Dec 16, 1654 and William Hatcher sold Captain Francis Hobbs 200 acres in Isle of Wight - both records are from p. 405, Early Wills and Deeds, Isle of Wight by R.S. Thomas Esquire. Virginia Historical Magazine Vol 5, No 4 (April 1898). Available at jstor.org

First Pioneer Families of Virginia by A.C. Quisenberry in the Register of Kentucky State Historical Society Vol 11, No. 32 (May 1913) pp 55-77 lists William Hatcher in Henrico County 1636 and Lancaster in 1653. Sylvester Thatcher is listed in 1650 but with no location. Available at jstor.org

There is a pedigree of this family in the visitation of London, 1633-35 (Harleian Society, p. 327). It begins with William Gorsuch, merchant, of London, "descended out of Lancashire from Gorsuch nigh Ormschurch," who married Amite, daughter of Hillson, and neice of Robert HiIlson, merchant, of London. They had a son, the testator, Daniel Gorsuch, merchant, of London, and Alderman's deputy for Bishopsgate Ward, who married Alice, daughter of John Hall, of London, merchant, and sometime one of the Bridge- masters. Daniel Gorsuch had two children, Rev. John (above) and Katherine, wife of Thomas Haynes, of Auborne, Wiltshire.]
