Born about 1750 in Sussex Co., Delaware or Germantown, Montgomery, Pennsylvania.
From the HISTORY OF DEARBORN AND OHIO COUNTIES, INDIANA - 1885
Isaac Cannon, of Aurora, a native of Delaware and a soldier of the Revolution, settled here at an early day. He had married an English lady of rare and elegant accomplishments, a member of the famous Bathurst family of England. His patriotic devotion to the cause of independence had reduced him from affluence to poverty, and forever separated his accomplished wife from her English kindred. He served in The Revolutionary War as a Private from August 1778 to April 1779 under Captain Grantham's Co., New Castle Hundred, DeE. His exposure in the service of his country during the Revolutionary War had impaired his health and ultimately paralyzed his limbs. He came West, hoping to improve the future of his family, and landed his little flat-boat, containing his wife, children and worldly goods, after a weary journey from Pittsburgh, at the mouth of Hogan Creek, in 1812. He lived more than a quarter of a century in a humble cabin on Holman's Hill. While able to walk to the schoolhouse in sight of his home he taught the neighborhood school, but for many years his enfeebled health confined him to his room, where he instructed a few pupils in the higher mathematics. He survived his wife many years, and died in 1839. A literary work recently published, and claimed as one of the works of imagination of our day, is founded exclusively on the vicissitudes of his fortunes. This venerable patriot, scholar and Christian gentleman was the oracle of his neighborhood, beloved and venerated; only an extended history would do justice to his memory. He married Mary Bathurst.
