I need information on a woman named Isabella Hughling who was born in 1838. She shows
up in both the 1840, and 1850 census. The 1840 census spells the name incorrectly, in
there it is spelled as Huling. In the 1860 census she has the last name of Cannon, and it
appears she has two sons, one named Henry and the other is Andrew J. Andrew J Cannon was
my great-grandfather! What is strange about her is there is no man with the last name of
Cannon, and she is living with a Nelson family at the time. In 1860 she is living with a
Henry and Jane Nelson. Can anyone provide information about her, or the missing husband?
