Matthew Cannon, born 1782, farmed a piece of property in southwestern Elkrun Township. He died a bachelor on February 18, 1831 at the age of 49. His tombstone was uncovered during a local high school "clean up" of the Jordanville Cemetery near Lisbon, Ohio.

Suggested edit: It would be more accurate to say Matthew was a widower when he died. Although he was reported to have been a bachelor, he was actually married to Jane Fife, a dau. of John Fife of Elkrun. (1) She is named as his widow in his probate papers on Image 164. (2) Matthew is named in Jane's father(John Fife) will as his son-in-law. Matthew and Jane married between 1809-1815.
Correction: Actually, he wouldn't be a widower. His wife Jane would have been. Contributor: Patricia Fabri (47703186 4/8/2022
No. We have not been able to find her burial. Possible she was buried near him.
