Shannon, a native of Morgan County, born in 1834, and the daughter of James and Mary Shannon, citizens of Morgan County, and both of purely Irish parentage.

1855 - From Llewellyn Traces, March and June 1997
"Jackson County, Alabama, guardianship records 1855
"Joseph Minor, Guardian of Jordan (sic), Charles, Mary E. Lewallen, minor children of Charles Lewallen, deceased, in account current with the Court on final settlement with said wards made this 31st day of July 1955.

"J. G. Dixon, Judge of Probate for said county of Jackson and State of Alabama do hereby certify that the foregoing contains a full and correct statement of the settlement of the guardianship of Joseph Minor, guardian of the above named minors had on this day July 31st 1855. /s/ J. G. Dixon
"Received of J. G. Dixon, Judge of Probate for Jackson County one hundred seventy six Dollars and forty nine cents in full of the amount deposited with the Court by Joseph Minor due the minor children of Charles Lewallen from said minor (sic) as their guardian on the 31st...document ends here."
"It is frustrating and unfortunate that this document from the files of Llewellyn Traces ends where it does, leaving to our imagination its conclusion. Howeverenough of this estate settlement shows to indicated that Daniel Luallen, deceased, was the father of Charles Lewallen, who himself was deceased by 31 july 1855, leaving three minor children: a child named, as nearly as we can read the record, Jordan, a son Charles and a daughter Mary E. Lewallen.
"Perhaps the Daniel Luallen of this court record was the Daniel Lewallen for whom we have records from several researchers. That Daniel Lewallen, seemingly a brother of Peyton Lieuallen, was born ca 1789 in Anderson County, Tennessee, and died ca 1849 in Jackson County, Alabama.
"Perhaps a researcher of this family has the full account of this settlement record."
1858 - Calthia Lewallen paid taxes on 210 acres in Independence County, Arkansas. She was the wife of Charles Lewallen. Their children were Jordan, Mary, Charles, all born in Alabama. Jordan and Charles served in the 2nd Union Infantry of Arkansas in the Civil War, rank of Private.

Independence County, Arkansas: Both Joseph and J.H.L. (James) Lewallen named above are sons of Aaron and Sallie Young Lewallen who lived in Maury County, Tennessee for a few years.
Billie Harris - Aug 14, 2011
Sue, I just noticed. Both Joseph and James named a son Charles but what really stands out is both the middle initials for the Charles is G. Wonder what that G stands for and if there's any significance. Do you think the Charles G. who homesteaded property in 1888 might have been Joseph's son, Charles?
Sue Cooper - Aug 15, 2011
Billie, James' son Charles was Charles Green Lee, not sure what the G. stands for in Joseph's son Charles middle name. I think you are probably right about Joseph's son Charles being the one who homesteaded the property in 1888.
Billie Harris - Aug 15, 2011
It's possible the initial for the middle name of Joseph's son, Charles was also Greenlee. I notice some Greenlees are spelled altogether. IF Greenlee is the middle name for both of these, I wonder where it came from - a relative, a friend, a neighbor.
Linda Haas Davenport - Aug 21, 2011
Charles (Charlie) G Lewallen was the son of Joseph Lewallen. None of the surviving family members know what the G stood for. Yes, Charlie Lewallen was the Charles G who applied for a Homestead in Marion Co AR.
