Sarah C "Sallie" Cannon / Fincannon
Searching for any information on Sarah C Cannon (or Fincannon changed to Cannon), born 1859, possibly Burke Co, NC. The "C" may have stood for Catherine. She was possibly the daughter of Sampson King Fincannon & Lennie Huffman. She married on 03 Oct 1880 in Rutherford Co, NC to Robert William "Billy" Guffey. She was his 2nd out of at least three wives, possibly four.
I would like to confirm her parentage, as well as find any information concerning her death date, place & burial location. She was my 2nd great grandmother.
My grandmother looked to be Native American & so did her mother, Mary Eva Guffey. Mary Eva was Sallie's daughter. My grandmother told two of my aunts (her daughters) that in no uncertain terms, her mother Mary Eva was Cherokee Indian. As far as I can tell, Billy Guffey was not native or if he was, I haven't found evidence of such. I do know there was a Guffey family member who may have been part Cherokee (Guion Boyeyn Guffey, Billy's 1st cousin). If Mary Eva had Cherokee in her, I would think she was 1/2, maybe 1/4 at the most.
If Sallie's parents were indeed Sampson King Fincannon & Lennie Huffman, Lennie is of interest to me as having possibly been Cherokee. I've been able to find very little info on her. Any info on Sallie Cannon or any others mentioned would be much appreciated!
