Was living in John Day, Oregon in 1947.
Second wife of Charles Friesz
Lived in St. Louis, Missouri.
Came to America with her parents, settling in the Bellville-Shiloh area of
Illinois.
Settled in Tennessee, then moved his family to St, Charles County, Missouri in 1811. During the Indian Wars, the family lived in Kennedy's Fort. Joesph Cannon was said to have been a great hunter and indian fighter. When moving to Missouri from Tennessee, the family crossed through Kentucky and Illinois to the Mississippi basin, crossing the Mississippi River just north of its junction with the Missouri River, east of St. Charles, Missouri.
According to Jesse A. Cannon, my grand uncle, Joseph Cannon and Nancy Sitton were married in North Carolina. Their son, Philip Samuel Cannon was born in Tennessee Nov. 19, 1809. Their first home in Missouri, in what is now St. Charles County, on Big Creek, was constructed of walnut logs and was the home of three generations of Cannons.
Nancy's father may have been either Phillip Sitton, born in 1733 in Prince George, Maryland, or John Sitton, born abt. 1745 in North Carolina. This was determined from LDS Ancestral Files that show a later Nancy Sitton, born in either North Carolina or Lincoln County, Missouri. Since it is not improbable that there was a child born in the Sitton family later in the 19th Century, also named Nancy, I backtracked through her ancestors to these two men, who were the right age and in the right place to have been the father of Nancy Sitton, born in 1765.
According to my grand uncle, Jesse A. Cannon, the Cannon's daughter Sarah was named Sarah Gibson and was a step-daughter of Joseph Cannon's, which indicates that Nancy had a previous marriage to a man named Gibson, who apparently died, leaving her a widow.
