No sign of Indians were seen while they were engaged in the work and they supposed they had all left. After completing the cabin they crossed the river to bring over the family. Late in the afternoon of the same day they all moved over and settled in their new home. While building their house they had found a bee-tree and after becoming fairly settled the men went into the timer to cut it. While thus engaged a band of Indians suddenly fell upon them. Mr Cannon was instantly killed and overtaken and dispatched by the murderous foe. They cut off his head and otherwise mutilated the body leaving it where he fell. Mrs Cannon and a daughter and a son-in-law by the name of Starks were captured and carried off by the Indians. They were however subsequently ransomed. Mr Cannon and his son were buried by two neighbors - Samuel McIntosh and Henry Gambrel. They were wrapped in a horse skin and placed into one grave. This was the first interment made in the Painter burial ground."; They were marched to what is now McClean Co IL and held captive for somewhere between 6 months and 10 years. A treaty of 1819 caused the Indians to release all captives which included the Cannons and Starks; Abigail later moved to Graves Co KY with sons Isaac and William Jr and daughter Keziah; Sources: Christian and Trigg Counties Kentucky History and Biography; ?The History of Edwards Lawrence and Wabash Counties Illinois?; ?Historical Sketch of Wabash County State of Illinois?
