• Notes

  from "Letter from Uncle Johnny" (John Rutledge Shannon) In 1792 ... Arthur Shannon was born, the 2nd youngest of 10. Arthur married Jane Allen in 1819 or 1820, who was about the same age. In 1850 Arthur & Jane and family left for Canada. From the same part of Sligo, though not all from the same townland, came McKims, Jacksons, Irwins, McLoughrys, Donaghs, Allens, Shaws and many others at the same time by the same boat: Sligo to Greenock, a day; Greenock to Quebec, 6 weeks. Then to Montreal, and as they could arrange for boat, up to Toronto. "Daddy Kim" was a sort of leader, & he considered Mono Mills (Peel Co) a good center. The Shannons located about 8 miles west or so. On Feb 17, 1852, Arthur was hit by a fallen tree and died of his injuries that night. 1851 Census Arthur Twp, Wellington Co Shannon, Arthur 59; Shannon, Jane 59; Shannon, William 30; Shannon, Robert 28; Shannon, Margaret 23
