• Notes

  William Cannon does not appear on the 1704 quit rent roll. It appears that his stepfather Abraham Childers (William’s mother remarried to Abraham Childers) still had control of the land from his father’s estate. Therefore, his birth date is likely after 1686. William Cannon patented 300 acres of land in Goochland Co. (now Albemarle) on 28 September 1730. The land was on the north of the Fluvanna (James) River. In 1733 he addded 1700 acres on the south bank of Willis River. In addition, he acquired 374 acres on the James River from the Cocke family. William Cannon died by 1749, when at least a portion of his estate passed to his son John. Hughes Family. The will of Mrs. Sarah Hughes was proved in Goochland county, May 19, 1730. It is dated 8th June, 1723, and names grandchild ELIZABETH CANNON and seven children: (1) ROBERT, executor of the will; (2) STEPHEN, (3) ASHFORD, (4) SARAH ATKINSON, (5) ELIZABETH LILES, (6) MARY HUGHES, (7) ISAAC HUGHES. Robert Hughes made his will July 13, 1750 which was proved in Cumberland 25th October, 1752. He names his wife, Martha and daughters: (1) Sarah, married TUCKER WOODSON; (2) Mary Walton, wife of George Walton (marriage bond, May 22, 1749); (3) Martha Walton; (4) Susanna; (5) Temperance, married Henry Watkins (marriage bond, 1760); (6) Abraham; (7) Robert.
