History of Richmond County, New York, 1887
Cannon
On Staten Island the name is usually accented on the last syllable. The family was here as early as 1680, but it was never very numerous or prominent; its members appear to have been of a retiring nature, and are never found mentioned in any official character, except in one instance where one of them held a minor military office.
Andreas (Andrew) was plaintiff in a suit in 1680, and was probably the progenitor. We find no further mention of them until John and Maria Egbert had a son Abraham, baptized May 7, 1741; a daughter, April 22, 1746, and a son Jacobus, July 19, 1748.
David and Aeltje (Alida) Prall had the following children: A daughter, baptized May 2, 1753; a son, Arent, baptized November 2, 1754; a son, David, January 29, 1758, and a son, Andries, August 26, 1759.David is also mentioned in 1755 as owner of a slave.
Andrew and Mary Wright were married in December, 1795.
