William Canon-93's wife Elizabeth Shull's profile shows two husbands: one William Finn Cannon and one William T Cannon. Using the link to FamilySearch has Elizabeth's last name as Shearer (Shull), and she is married to a William P Canon, who has no parents listed.
I've also seen William Cannon's wives listed as Mary Katherine Reid and Lucythia Myers.
I'm thoroughly confused.
