Just like his father, Owen Shannon (above); Jacob Shannon is listed as a "Labrador" which is
Spanish for "Farmer" in Stephen F. Austin's Register of Families. He was not the owner of a trading post. Jacob Shannon's place
of origin is shown as Arkansas and the date he arrived is shown as November, 1830. This 1830 arrival date corresponds with with a
number of other documents executed by Jacob Shannon. As an example, see Jacob Shannon's 1870 affidavit in support of Mathew
Cartwrights Pension Application where he swears, "And Jacob Shannon says that he is a resident citizen of Montgomery County
and has resided in what is now said County from the year 1830 to the present date..."
