Was she born in the UK? What county and or city? Where did she die in 1885?
According to Ancestry.com, she was born in 1805 in Tenn and died in 1869 in Arkansas.  I'm looking for information about her parents.
Yes, the reason I asked for location information, was to be able to find the parents. It seems puzzling that in the initial question, that she was born in 1819 and died in 1885, but the most resent comment has her born in 1805 and death year of 1869.

I have been thinking that Cannon is her maiden name and that her husband's surname was Moore.

Can you clarify the disparity between the two birth years and the two death years? Do you see Cannon as her maiden name?
Okay.  Let me start over.  I have her as Elizabeth Cannon, also known as Lenny or Lissy, born in 1805 in Tenn.  She died in 1869 in Arkansas.  On 18 Aug 1824 she married Robert Moore in Tenn.  Robert Samuel Moore was born in 1790 in NC.

Thank you for the information.  I have been able to find a little bit more about 4 of the children, but nothing else about "Listy".

My great grandmother Mary Jane Moore Mahoney is buried in Missouri (no one in my family has any clue who Mary Jane's father was).   Mary Jane's  mother was Nancy Jane Moses Moore - she is buried in Missouri too.  I believe Nancy was second wife of James S. Moore.  Nancy Jane 's mother was Lucinda Hicks Moses.  Any information on the Moores of this line would be greatly appreciated.
