In considering a fifth great grandmother, I often wonder how she dressed..(as a member of the George Rogers family tree.) Here's a repost from 2017.
Nancy Ann WHITLOW Cannon 1747–1830
Birth 18 NOV 1747 • Caswell County, North Carolina,
Death 01 JUL 1830 • Loudon County, Tennessee
grandmother of Cyntha Cannon Rogers (w. of Micajah C. Rogers) both buried in Huntsville, TX
She married John Cannon, Birth 18 MAR 1744 • Virginia, Death OCT 1806 • Grass Valley, Knox, Tenn He did receive a 100 acres of land warrant as a result of serving in the Revolutionary War.
The clothes that were being worn by women in the 1830's are possibly what Nancy would have also worn.
Fashion drawings show big sleeves!
And undergarments would help every lady have the right support!
Three children are listed on "Find a Grave" site with her and their markers.
Martha Cannon Nelson (1764 - 1862)
William Cannon (1771 - 1868) (father of Cyntha Cannon Rogers)
Robert Cannon (1781 - 1854)

Caswell County is located right on the Virginia line, and was formed in 1777. It has today only two real towns, Yanceyville (the County Seat) and Milton.

Nancy Cannon is buried in Steekee Cemetery, Loudon County, TN. The year she died she is on the census living with her son Robert, who has a similar headstone. On that census she is the free white female age 80-89 years old in his household in Roane, Loudon County. TN

Nancy Ann Whitlow Cannon is my 5th great grandmother as well. He son William Henry is my 4th great grandfather. I have been trying to locate Nancy's parents and tentatively have Henry Othello Whitlow as her father on my Ancestry account but I cannot find any documentation actually linking these two. Is it possible for you to reach out to me and maybe we can share our trees, we may be related.
