I've provided an Inbox as requested but I cannot track down a photo - Cannon is extremely elusive.

Possibly a bit of trivia more than anything else, but where did Cannon go after Cromdale? I've seen sources suggesting he took shelter with the MacDonalds, with Sir John MacLean on Mull (Mitchell, 1900) and with MacPherson of Cluny (Roberts, 2000). Perhaps all true. Few of the sources in this area are modern academic texts.
It would also be good to establish his origins more firmly. If the family was Scottish and Catholic they should in theory be easy to identify given the small numbers. Some books describe him as Irish, though I suspect this is the same error as seen with Buchan. There are however Cannons in Ireland as well as Galloway (his own letters spell it "Canan").
