Biography

The records for William Cannon & Judith Woodson are clear that they had only 2 children- John Cannon & Elizabeth (Cannon) Childers. They lived in Henrico, Goochland & Albemarle Co., where they died. They made several deeds of gift to John Cannon & Elizabeth Childers and/or their children. [1]


Mary is reportedly the daughter of Judith Woodson, who married William Cannon, born circa 1670, in Henrico county, Virginia. Mary married William East, II, born circa 1714 in of Stokes, North Carolina. [2] William East, III is born in 1735, which indicates that Mary's birth is probably before 1720.

1. John, married 1st his first cousin Mary CANNON and 2nd his first cousin Martha WOODSON. 2. Elizabeth, married Abraham CHILDERS III."
