There appear to be several sources of SHANNON families. The Scots-Irish tended to come to America in the 1600's and 1700's and were generally Protestant. The Irish came in the mid 1800's and tended to be Catholic. Some Shannon groups came about due to the Civil War. Others were modifications of similar names (Shanahan as example) or due to adoption. Large groups of Shannons also exist in Ireland, Canada and Australia.
