The maternal side of my family were Cannon’s. My Grandmother was Mary Cannon from Meenacarn, she married Patrick Joseph Gallagher and they lived in Dooey, Lettermacaward. Brothers and sisters names were Dominic, Patrick, Cormack, John, Peter, Bridget, Rose, James, Hugh, Joseph, Michael, and Twin girls who died at birth. Patrick, John and Peter went to the USA and did not return to Ireland. All other brothers and sisters lived in Ireland and Scotland. Their Mother was Sisley and their father was John. All born in and around Donegal. Wondered if any of this information helps others and in return maybe a swop of information. My mother lives in England now. Sisley and John were her maternal Grandparents.

My great grandfather Condy (Cornelius) Cannon was born somewhere in Co. Donegal in about 1862 to John and Mary (Kinney) Cannon. He came to the US in about 1875-1880, leaving behind his mother and sister. When he died in 1926 his sister, a Mrs. John Gillespie, was still alive and in Ireland. He was a handsome man, who worked in the coal mines near Hazleton, in NE Pennsylvania. He married Bridget McMonigle who had been born in the US and they had 10 children. I wish I could find where exactly Condy was born. Best wishes.

hi guys, this one is for Kathleen. My family is from Meenacarn as well..My grandmother was Bridget Cannon who married Neil Duffy from Meenacarn. You might be able to trace your father in the 1911 archives..this is the link for the Cannons in Meenacarn and my great grandmother was Sisely, so no doubt you can find your father in here as well..were probably related in some way select the whole of the test and paste it in your browser..

Hello,
My name is Teresa Cannon Freeman, and I find the Cannon history quite interesting. My great grandfather, John Cannon, was born in Ireland in 1830 and emigrated from County Cork. I believe his wife died on ship during the voyage. He married Alice Flynn in1854 in Clinton County, Ohio. He died in Columbus, Ohio in 1911. I would appreciate any information about him.

Hello All,
My full name is Mark Joseph Cannon. My history is from County Cork Ireland. I read somewhere that our name has changed throughout the years. I live in Ontario, Canada. My Grandparents were Cannon & O’Brien, both from Ireland. I’m not sure when they came to Canada. Our name supposedly was O’Cainin, O’Cannon & they dropped the O when they came to Canada. Originally upon coming to Canada, the first place of residence was NewBrunswick, where I was raised for the first ten years of my life. If anyone thinks we are somehow related, please let me know. I have relatives in Alberta, Canada, Ottowa, Ontario, Canada. Ottowa being a city in Ontario & our country’s capitol.

Bye for now.
Mark Cannon
