Nathaniel Cannon, soon after settling in Wilkinson county, donated the land where "Old Sandy church" was built. Of this congregation he remained a member until the year 1836, when the church separated into two factions known as Missionary and Primitive baptists. He went with he Primitives and donated the land that Mount Olive church was built on, and remained a devoted member of that church until his death. He was interred in the cemetery at "Old Sandy", where al of the deceased of the Cannon family have been buried, except those who sleep beneath Virginia's soil. Nathaniel and Frances Cannon had four sons: Miles, Allen, Wiley and James. Miles married Miss Isler and had seven sons and one daughter. Four of these sons were killed in the late war: Nathaniel, Nathan, Wiley, and David. John G. and Miles J. are yet living in Wilkinson and laurens counties, are engaged in farming, and each has a family.
