Cannon QuallsLast updated Nov 10, 2019
Cannon Qualls is very difficult to research due to the time he lived and a lack of documentation. There are various trees around the web claiming to know who his parents, wives and children are. There is very little backup for these. They can't all be right, and possibly all of them are wrong. Cannon was born around 1792 in Henry Co VA then died around 1850-something in White county TN. He is likely related to most other Qualls and Quarles in TN and beyond. I believe Cannon Qualls is my 3ggrandfather through his daughter Margaret Qualls who married John Orrick around 1847 in Warren County TN. I also believe that his father was James Calvin Qualls because several of the grandkids were named that. This is speculation. There is a Facebook research group dedicated to Cannon at https://www.facebook.com/groups/CannonQualls/ If you have information, Email me.

Good stuff from ron stricklin about Qualls:Roger,
As mentioned last night Stephen Austin 1755-1850 is the progenitor of the Hardin County Hollands
Creek Austin clan but they are mostly descended from his son Saunders Austin 1783-1860 and
it is he who is ten households from Cannon Qualls on the 1812 Warren County tax list.
Saunders is in 1820 and 1830 Wayne County and then in Hardin County from 1840 until his
death at Hollands Creek in 1860. Stephen was a Revolutionary War veteran and was living
with Saunders in 1832 when he filed pension papers and in 1840 Hardin County when they
were living next door to my ggg grandfather William Stricklin. Most web sites say that
Saunders married Nancy Qualls in 1807 Warren County but a search of Alabama records
shows a marriage in Lauderdale County in 28 Dec 1851, hard to explain as on the 1850
Hardin County census Saunders’ wife is listed as Nancy. In 1840 Hardin County Saunders’
son Stephen Austin Jr. is living next door to John Qualls 1799-1860’s who is thirty two
households from William Qualls 1808- aft 1870. John Qualls and wife Mary Lamb had at
least fifteen children and William M. Qualls and his wife who was a Loyd had at least
sixteen, and these two couples appear to be the parents of all of the Hardin County
Hollands Creek Qualls except Abraham and William. John Qualls was in 1830 and 1836
Wayne County and then in Hardin County from 1837 until his death and William M. Qualls,
most likely his younger brother, was in Hardin County from 1840 until his death.
Descendants of John Qualls and Stephen Austin intermarried at least five times.
On the 1850 Wayne County census Abraham Qualls and William Qualls are in the same household,
page 333 household 932, family numbers 942 and 943. With only fourteen years difference in
their age they are most likely brothers rather than father and son, and Abraham was born
in 1815 when Hardin County John Qualls would have been only fifteen or sixteen so most
likely not his son. They are next door to John Stricklin and two households from William
& Elizabeth Sharp, possible parents of William Qualls wife Julia Ann who is thought to
be a Sharp. By 1860 Abraham Qualls was in McMinnville in Warren County while William
Qualls, listed as a Methodist minister, is in Hardin County eight households from the
Amzi Reed place on Hwy 69 just west of Hollands Creek. By 1866 William Qualls was in
Grundy County where he performed a wedding for John O. Charles & M. A. Sains, and he
is on the 1870 Grundy County census listed as Minister Of Gospel twelve households
from Peggy Arke. In 1870 Abraham Qualls is in Hardin County next door to Saunders’
son William Austin and two households from William Qualls, possible brother of John.
In 1880 Abraham is next door to Alfred Kendall with mother in law Delilah Lowery
which would be the house at the old Franks store in Loweryville. William Qualls is
in 1880 Warren County and 1900 Coffee County and in 1910 his wife Julia is in Coffee
County widowed at 88 with daughter Martha Brown. So far I have not found Abraham
Qualls after 1880.
Andrew Qualls was born abt 1817, two years after Abraham, and married to Elizabeth
Hawk in Grundy County on 22 Aug 1845 by Samuel J. Christian. He is in 1850 Grundy
County seven hh from William B. Nunely and six hh from Hardy & James R. Campbell,
sons of James Campbell and Asenatha Lamb, in 1860 Grundy County and in 1870 Grundy
County on page 458 while Peggy Arke and William Qualls are on pages 454 and 455.
Mary Qualls is on the 1840 Coffee County census page 169 with three sons and two
daughters, next door to Isaac Campbell and five households from John Lusk.
Signatures on the 1844 petition to form Grundy County from Warren and Coffee
include Isaac Campbell, John Lusk, William B. Nunely, Jeremiah Nunely, Samuel
“Quawls” and D. Sain. In 1850 Grundy County John Lusk is next door to Samuel J.
Christian who performed the marriage of Andrew Qualls and Elizabeth Hawk. Some
sites have the first wife of Cannon Qualls as Matilda and second wife as Mary,
so this could be the second wife of Cannon Qualls, with two of the three sons
Andrew and William and one of the two daughters Margaret. And Nancy Qualls,
wife of Hardin County Saunders Austin, could be a sister of Cannon Qualls as
they are ten households apart on the 1812 Warren County tax list.

The following is transcribed from a letter from the War records bureau to Daisy E. Quarles of Champaign, Illinois, December 30, 1930.
"You are advised that it appears from the papers in The Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 8967,
that James Quarles, while a resident of Buckingham County, Virginia, enlisted in 1790 as a private
in Captain John Spear's Company in Colonel Cavill's Virginia Regiment; after serving two months he
was commissioned ensign in the same company and regiment; he was in an engagement at Shallow Ford,
a skirmish at the head of the Clinch River, and was discharged in October, 1781. He was allowed a
pension on his application executed June 9, 1834, while a resident of Todd County, Kentucky, aged
seventy five years. He died there August 2, 1838. The soldier married November 23, 1791, in
Henry County, Virginia, Elizabeth Pelfrey. She was allowed pension on her application executed
January 11, 1841 while a resident of Todd County, Kentucky, aged about seventy four years.
In 1845, she was living in White County, Tennessee."
The following is a transcription of the hand written certification of James Quarles marriage
record that is in his revolutionary war pension record file.
' A list of marriages soleminized by Joseph Anthony. James Qualls and Elizabeth Pelfry November

from Myra Quarles saucy_wells at sbcglobal dot net
There are MANY Moses Quarles. But lets start with the Moses who was the Revolutionary (Whig) Moses.
The Court case is rather interesting because it seems that there were many people trying to
prove which Moses was which even back in the 1800's so that they could benefit from the
Revolutionary claim. His son and daughters made the claim in court to prove his identity
since he died intestate. Could this Whig Soldier be the son of John (Grayson?) Quarles?
Yes, indeed he could. But there is one small clue...He died intestate...although without
a will the inventory still had to be probated to collect the taxes. There is a inventory
(without will) for a Moses Quarles in Bruswick County which states at the end of it...
"returned by Court by Constant Quarles, his adminstratrix", 27 July 1801, in Brunswick County.
There is also something I have seen, which indicates there may be a Bastardly Bond, which
might suggest the reason this was in court in the first place. So, it is possible that
this Moses did have children maybe not by Constant Fisher. Second this Moses who does
marry Constant Fisher is the son of Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick. I also know that by
reading the inventory. Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick willed to his son Moses a slave named
Harry in 1779...Harry is found in this Moses' inventory. Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick
had a daughter named Catey who married a man named Lanier. A William Lanier is one of
the people who proved Moses' inventory. So, the Moses who marries Constant Fisher is
the son of Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick. The Moses who is the son of John Grayson Quarles
is the brother to Johanna Powell, another John Quarles, another James Quarles, a Samuel
Quarles and it looks like !"Cannon" Quarles.
The Moses who marries Seth Linton is believed to be the son of John Quarles and Jane
Mallory. John Quarles and Jane Mallory are also believed to be the parents of
John Quarles who marries Ann Grayson and this Hubbard mentioned above who is the
father of the Moses who marries Constant Fisher. The Moses who is the Tory Loyalist
who migrates to NC and SC is the son of John Quarles and Ann Grayson, raised by
Thomas Harrison. He has two siblings John Quarles and Betty Quarles. He is believed
to have married twice, first wife unknown. Second wife, Sarah who some have suggested
is a Trezevant, though I have never seen any evidence for it even though I have tried.
The Trezevants were Huguenot and coastal planters. Moses was from Up Country SC and a
miller. I do not find him in any of the places where the Trezevants were.
The supposition that he married a Sarah Trezevant is based on the fact that there
is a Jesse Trezevant Quarles out there who was born in the late 1700's and first
found in NC. I have another theory for this. Other than this Jesse who ends up in
Texas, my family is the only line of Quarles who carry the "Tresvan" name down in it...
literally for a couple of generations. But the records are interesting...at times
the names are Trusvan, Tresvant, Truss Vann, depending which one you read and what
year. My guess is the name is literally Truss Vann commemorating the marriage of a
Truss and a Vann. One of the reasons I believe this is there is a James Quarles of
SC who is a trader to the Creek. Vann is a Creek name and there is an Indian
Claim which details a Quarles who may have married a Vann. This all gets very
detailed and for me is a work in progress. The John Quarles who marries a Rebecca Minor
is a much later Quarles than the Moses who marries Seth Linton. That too is a very
interesting line of Quarles. There are at least 3 Minor/Quarles marriages...although
those Minors are not really Minors at all they are Mindus. Just like Thomas Harrison
is a Calvert. As to the John Quarles who marries Nancy (Ward) ... the assumption
she is she is a Ward... is based on some very sketchy information that I provided
to someone years ago. I found a document about an exchange of a black cow and calf
and suggested that it "could" be a dowery. However a couple of people have run with
that thought and ascribed that last name to her. The Indian Wards are a very famous
Cherokee line, THE Nancy Ward was a leader of the Cherokee. I have done a lot of
work trying to prove or disprove that theory. The Cherokee have her line very well
documented and there is NO record of a Quarles/Qualls ever having married into
those lines. However, there is a William Robert Quarles who does marry into a rather
famous Cherokee family. He marries Caroline Bushyhead daughter of Jesse Bushyhead
who led one of the groups on the Trail of Tears. Hope this helps, Myra

From Larry qualls lrq420 AT windstream dot net
Myra, your post was a great help to me. My gggg grandfather Isom(Isham) Qualls was born
in the Carolinas circa 1790. There is a long lost bible (that only a few relatives saw)
that indicates that he was born in Ireland or islands. I have started to look into the
theory that his parents were Tories and left with the British at the end of the Warand
that he was born in the SC costal islands. From the battle of King's Mountain, !Hubbard
Quarles has been documented as part of Fair Forest Tory militia. Other records indicates
that a Moses Quarles was a Tory in the !Charleston, SC area.
Isham served in the regular army from Jan 1813 to Jun 1814. Isham and Elizabeth Baucum
were married in Middle Tenn near current day McMinnville about 1816. They named two of
their sons Moses and Hubbard. The oldest son could have been named for his grandfather
Moses Baucum. I have found Hubbard Quarles in the Western KY area.
Thanks, some day we will understand how the Quarles and Qualls family names were seperated.

There is a deed from Patrick County Virginia (I will have to find you the reference numbers...book and date etc, 1804 I think)
that probably names the children of David and Judith Qualls. Cannon Qualls is listed on this deed. !!!!!<-----
It's possible he is a grandson but his listed as one of the heirs to the property of Judith after
her husband David Qualls died. I think this has been overlooked by the Qualls researchers
trying to find David Qualls' line as he lived in Henry County Virginia most of his life but
right around the time of his death the county split and Patrick county was formed.
This is the same family with Elizabeth Qualls Pelfrey.
1804, Cannon listed on Deed patrick co VA David & Judith Qualls. See letter from Doctor qualls Ed Qualls below.
This indenture made this 19th day of December one thousand eight hundred and four,
between Judah Quarles, Elizabeth Quarles, James Quarles, Joseph Mapes and Sarah his wife,
David Quares, David Hampton and Judah his wife, Abraham Quarles, Cannon Quarles, and
Mary Quarles of the county of Patrick and State of Virginia on one part and Mark Parr
of the County and State afore of the other part. Witnessth that the said Judah Quarles,
Elizabeth .... (RENAMES all the same names in same order)
Records indicate David Qualls (Quarles, Quals, etc) died in about 1804. His wife and
family apparently sold some or all of his land to Mark Parr in this transaction.
I believe David Qualls is listed as the surety bond holder and witness on his Daughter's
marriage bond to Joseph Pelfrey... you probably already have that.
yes, i believe James Quarles married Elizabeth Pelfrey and, James Quarles' sister
Elizabeth Quarles married Joseph Pelfrey
(Joseph Pelfrey and Elizabeth Pelfrey were apparently brother and sister).
So brother and sister married brother and sister. Now thats a tight knit family!

Deed in warren co tn 1816 cannon was witness on, trying to find it
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Qualls-Quarles/1998-04/0893625163
I have a deed that dates Aug. 2, 1816 and Cannon Qualls is a witness and he must
revisit the Warren Co. courthouse to swear to it again because Sanders Austin
(the other witness to this deed) now resides outside of the state of Tn.
Warren Co, TN deed book D:
433 - 2 Aug 1816: Francis Price to William Qualls, 35 A. on the waters of
Hickory creek...Moses Rhea's line. Witness: Cannon Qualls, Sanders Auston.
Proven in court 7 July 1823 by Cannon Qualls, who swore that he saw Sanders

I am, apparently, a direct descendant of William Qualls. My mother's name is Jackie Qualls-Shipley,
grandfather is Raliegh Herschel Qualls, great grandfather is Charlie Clarence Qualls,
(2)great grandfather is John C. Qualls, and that making my (3)great grandfather
Rev. William M. Qualls. I live just a short drive from Blanton's Chapel Cemetery
where William is buried. Never knew about him till day and that is only from the
evidence I have found online. The black hair, blue eyes, and dark complexion noted
in a prisoner release form during the Civil War Era matches my grandfather,
Raliegh Herschel to a proverbial "T." He died with natural jet black hair in his
70's. Also of note, the actor DJ Qualls was Raliegh Herschel's brother's (Harold Qualls) grandson.

https://www.facebook.com/raleigh.jernigan
descendant of William/Julia Qualls: my lineage is William, his son John C.,
his son Charles Clarence, my mother, Bessie who married my father,
Charles Lankford Jernigan.
I live about two miles from the Blanton's Chapel cemetery and I recall as a
teenager my mother took me to his grave and tried to explain who he was--as a
teenager, who cared. I have gotten into family genealogy since I retired.
Recently, my sister brought me some papers that my mother had collected.
In this stack of papers was a notebook that I created in the 50's/60's.
After visiting the cemetery, my mother took me to a great aunt who mom s
aid was the family historian. Her name was Pearl Qualls, the sister of my
grandfather, John C. Qualls was her father and she married Harrison Cox.
I wrote down the names of her brothers/sisters and her father's sisters.
She proudly told me of William's history--civil war chaplain.
!!!!!I made a notation in my notebook that his father was Cannon Qualls,
his mother was Mary. This was word of mouth way before the electronic
age and ancestry.com. I have no proof of this fact other than the record
I made from our conversation. She has long been gone.

Henry Cagle Roger Arrick my ggg grandfather was James B. Qualls born around 1810
he had a brother name Cannon Qualls an their parents name was James calvin Qualls
married Elizabeth Pelfrey married in1791, James b. Qualls families
move to Johnson co. Arkansas in 1848 with other Qualls family an
other families names I got a letter that tell what families move
with the Qualls but most importantly they had a Qualls family bible with record
back to the 1860 I got some record of that bible I need to look into that
bible to see what in it but anyway been looking into the family that
came to Johnson co. Arkansas an looking up their family tree an seeing where
they coming off of some Qualls too. It's really hard to find the Qualls trail
because there so many trees that's not right but like I said there a
good kept record been kept in the Qualls family after they came to
Arkansas been study over record for a year now an still have not been through
all of it. Would like to see how far back you got on the Qualls myself I got
back to a John Quarles 1665 to 1739 married to Jane Mallory 1665 to 1719
daughter of Captain Roger Mallory 1630 to 1695 but this is not verified let.
from henry cagle
Joseph newton qualls b.sept. 1 1836 an wife Mary Jane Marshall on their wedding day may 24, 1860.
He is a nephew of cannon Qualls born 1791. The picture of his parents above was taking on the
same day I think in Carroll co. Arkansas.
James b. Is the son of James c. Qualls . I will send some more information on that family later,
I know James b Qualls came to Arkansas with some of his brothers sons , don't know much
about cannon family but I think he move around with his wife family an I found some
old history about cannon wife family her was a line from the Hardin family in
south Carolina an that may be why cannon was in Hardin co. Tn.
Still doing history research on the James c. Qualls.
James b. Qualls wife Elizabeth snow family was listed as neighbors next to James c. Qualls
in Roane Co in a census forgot what year maybe 182o because James b. married in 1829?
Roger this list who move to Arkansas in 1848 I know that Nathan qualls jr.
Is,son of Nathan qualls sr. The oldest of James c. Qualls an brother to cannon an James b. Qualls
but not sure about Russell qualls an John qualls ( son of John qualls). Do you?
Also when James b. Qualls came to Arkansas in 1848 , James did not stayed in Johnson co. Ar.
He had a child in 1848 in Carroll co. Ar. This south of Missouri state line
then in around 1865 he move to Johnson co. Ar. But I got married record of a s.r. qualls
getting married in lawrence co. Missouri 1874 an then in Franklin, an Johnson co. Arkansas in 1924
married again all I know there had been qualls living in Missouri before 1848,
I'll read about some moving to Texas to an some of James b. Qualls kids move to Texas an Oklahoma.

I am a descendant William M. Qualls that is buried literally down the road
from me at Blanton's Chapel Cem.. I live in the county of his final resting place,
Coffee County, TN. His descendant is Clarence Qualls, the father of Raleigh Herschel Qualls...
who is my grandfather. Clarence Qualls is also the great-grandfather of the actor, D.J. Qualls.
Thank you Robbie. Is there any folklore in your family about Cannon being Wm's father? -Roger
Robbie Shipley Unfortunately no. My initial knowledge went as far as Clarence, my great, grandfather,
till finding you. The premier individual for any genealogical information in Coffee County for the
Qualls family is Raleigh Jernigan, Bessie Qualls' son. There is only one of Clarence's children left
alive, Irene Qualls born 1928, but I fear her age has gotten to her. If there is any folklore
Raleigh is the best bet.
