Dear Listers and Martha,

In response to your query......Love to hear from anyone searching
these names

I have a ggg grandfather Bryan CANNON married to Bridget SHEEHAN.
He was born in Ireland. I am still trying to find out where. His son
Stephen, born circa 1832, emigrated to the USA abt 1854 where he married
Elizabeth HEARTY circa 1856. She was a native of County Armagh.
Stephen's sister Alice CANNON married a Patrick BURNS in South Amboy,
New Jersey. His sister Bridget CANNON married Thomas PRENDERGAST in
South Amboy, New Jersey. In the last years of his life he lived in a
boarding house run by a BRENNAN lady in South Amboy NJ. Don't know if
she was related.

A Bartley GUNN vouched for his character on his declaration of
intent to become a citizen. Stephen's daugther Alice CANNON married
John FERGUSON of New Brunswick, New Jersey.

My next search is going to be in Graiguenamanagh Parish records of
County Kilkenny because quite a few of those names are found there.

Best Regards.....Leo J. Cannon Gainesville, Florida
