In answer to question :
I am a descendant of Michael Shannon from Ireland who married Marie Cormier of Cascapedia in 1827 and settled in Jacquet River , Rest. co NB in 1828. Would anyone know the origins of Shannons who settled in the Perce - Cap s`espoir area in the early 1800`s? One of the first on record is James Shannon whose name I found in early grant petitions and in the 1825 census. He was married to Mary Madigan. I am curious about any connection between James Shannon and my gg grandfather ,Michael, who arrived in Canada in 1822. Michael and Marie`s oldest child Thomas was apparently born in the New Carlisle region prior to moving to Jacquet River.<hr>Answer by Tricia at shannonpa@comcast.net on 20250527 01:02:11pm<br>James Shannon and Mary Madigan are my 3rd times great-grandparents. I am a descendant of their son Jeremiah. I would be willing to share what information I have.
