Cannon Cemetery, Jakes Run, Monongalia Co., WV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted Jan 28, 2005 by Bonnie Wilson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This cemetery is off Rt. 29 at Jakes Run. From the inter- section of Rt. 7 and Rt. 29 at Pentress, go 2.7 miles on Rt. 29, and turn right up a dirt road. The cemetery is about .4 of a mile up this road, behind the house that Wilbur Glen Tennant now lives in. Blen and Dorothy Shaw, lived in the house now owned by Wilbur G. Tennant, before they moved to Morgantown, and then to Florida. Blen knew of this cemetery and said it was on a flat piece of ground before you would reach the oil well above the house and garage. It was plowed over years ago, but he remembered that there were 4 or 5 graves. This is probably where Richard Cannon, (ca.1784 ~ February 5, 1854) and his wife, Elizabeth (ca. 1785 ~ after 1860) are buried. Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Haught Tennant.
