From the book by Clarence Cannon:
Rebecca Cannon was born in Christian County, Kentucky, about 1808 and came with her father to Missouri in 1817. The first volume of marriage records of Lincoln County, Missouri, recites that "Rebecca Cannon, of Hurricane Township, was married to Joseph Barnett, of Union Township, by her father's approbation." William Hammack officiated. Some time later, probably about 1832, they moved to Pike County, Illinois, where their descendants still reside. Rebecca is buried there near the town of Pleasant Hill.
Practically nothing is known of Joseph Barnett, beyond the dates given. His death occurred soon after that of his wife and the two are doubtless buried in the same cemetery. Samuel Cannon, administrator of the estate of his father, James, mentions in his final settlement that Ephraim Cannon, of Illinois, received one share, of the estate as "the lawful guardian of the heirs of Joseph Barnett."
Samuel & Ephraim Cannon were brothers of Rebecca Cannon Barnett.
