Surnames: CANNON BOTKIN BLAIR
Father of your Nettie Cannon DeWolfe -- James Charles Cannon is s/o William Cannon b 1833 OH and Mary E. Botkin b 1836 OH. We are exploring the possibility that William could be s/o James Cannon and Mary Jackson, but so far have not found anything that nails that. My connection is through Botkin – Mary E. is sister to my GG Grandfather Beniah Botkin. I have a great deal of information on this family (census, marriage, and even some obits – thanks to a kind Cannon genealogist). I am very glad to share, and would be very interested in what you have. Please contact me at THERKILD@AOL.COM. Jan
