Do you see a relationship with the old family of Acannan aka Cannon in
Galloway and the Ua Cannan of Donegal? R. C. Reid published an article in the
Dumfries and Galloway Natural and Archaeological Journal and he suggested they
were of Irish original?

I must say, I have might doubts, but DNA might well prove otherwise!

John,

I keep seeing Cannon listed for the Trinity study but I have never seen any
Cannon DNA results in any of the results tables that I have looked at. Have
you seen Cannon in any of the actual results tables?

There are some R1b1c7 Cannons listed in Ysearch; I think a few of them list
an origin in Donegal but it's been awhile since I looked. The Ua Canannans

were kings of Tirconnell prior to the rise of O'Donnell. Under the
O'Clerys,
historians to the O'Donnells, their pedigree was suppressed; only a partial
pedigree is to be found in the 17th century O'Clery Book of Genealogies.
