I am trying to piece together a CANNELL and CANNON family and was hoping someone out there had information that would help me out.
I have determined from the will of Jane KAIGHIN als CANNELL that she was the mother of Charles KAIGHIN, Jony KAIGHIN who md. Daniel LEECE/LACE. The will of her husband, John KAIGHIN adds another daughter, Ellinor KAIGHIN as well as a daughter in law, Mary KAIGHIN that I assume to be the wife of Charles KAIGHIN.
Jane left a petticoat unto Christian CANNON als CANNELL. She does not mention the relationship to Christian, but I am inclined to think that they are sisters.
Witnesses to this will are as follows: Thomas QUAYLE, Henry NORRIS, Charles KAIGHIN, John MCYLVOREY, John CANNON, Mary CALLISTER, William CORLETT, and John SHITTLETON.
I also found the will of Frances CANNELL als NORRIS which explains the relationships of some of the above witnesses. Frances was married to Thomas Cannell, the brother of said Jane KAIGHIN als CANNELL. She was the daughter of the above Henry NORRIS, and her only daughter Christian CANNELL was married to the above William CORLETT.
John CANNON was the husband of the above mentioned Christian CANNON als Cannell. One of the witnesses needed to prove this will was William CANNON. He refers to her as "his old Mistress". Apparently he was one of her servants.
I am speculating that this was the same William CANNON that is John CANNON's brother.
If anyone has information regarding these families, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Leslie
