Biography

Hester Elizabeth Cannon was born about 1858. She is the daughter of Elijah Cannon and Harriett Lacy. She married in 1877, which is her last record known at this time. Hester's husband, Henry F. Smith, was listed as widowed in the 1880 U.S. Census; Henry was living with his brother Isom and Isom's wife, who is Hester's younger sister Louisa Jonel. [1]

Cannon-2038 and Cannon-6036 appear to represent the same person because: Hester is on the 1870 federal census with her parents. Tennessee Marriage Records list her as H E Cannon marrying Henry Smith. On the 1880 federal census, Henry lists himself as a widower, so I'm assuming Hester died before then. She disappears from record.

The Cannons and the Smiths lived in Tennessee and had several marriages between the families. Henry married Hester; his brother Isom Smith married Louisa Cannon, Hester's sister; Henry's sister Martha Smith married Minus Cannon, Hester's brother.

Good catch! I wasn't quite certain until I realized the 1860 and 1870 Census records imply her name is Hester Elizabeth Cannon, thus matching the marriage record of Henry F. Smith to H.E. Cannon in 1877. And the family ties to Isom Smith and Martha Smith sealed the deal, for me anyway.

Merge completed.
