Alfred Canon and his brother, Harvey Moses, were in the Exodus Company that came from Mecklenburg county, North Carolina to Red Banks, Marshall county, Mississippi. Alfred deeded the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church 5 acres of his land to build a building and cemetary. Later, due to a fire, I think, the church was moved brick by brick about 5 miles away. The cemetary is still in the original place.
Alfred Orville married Elizabeth M.Hope and then after she died he married Ester M. both wives are buried in the cemetary with him.
