The children's birthplaces are all over per their profiles: first 2 in South Carolina, 1 in Pennsylvania, 1 in New France (Louisiana territory), and 1 in Mecklenburg, NC. Any sense for how much this profile traveled? From his marriage place & death place being the same it looks as though this John just stayed put in Mecklenburg. There are plenty of John Cannons out there -- perhaps some of these children belong to different parents?

I've placed the children who were written in John's will on his profile.

Cannon-3062 and Cannon-1834 appear to represent the same person because: same child. Needs to merge for duplicate children to merge
