Documentation:
* Research of John Burnett of Kingsville, Texas. He is a descendant of Nancy (Hefner) Cannon.
* Samuel Hefner was stated to have been born in Pennsylvania, migrated and lived in North Carolina, then finally moving to Rabun Co., Georgia for the remainder of his life. He lived once in Walton Co., Georgia that was disputed to be part of North Carolina. After the boundary issue was settled, it was discovered the part of Walton County, Georgia he lived in was actually in North Carolina. Samuel Henfer's probate records show that he died by 1845. Three of his children have birthdates listed as 1809, these all cannot be correct, but were listed on tombstones, from family members. This couple left many descendants in North Carolina and Georgia.
