Research Notes:
Colonel in the Union Army, commanded the 1st US Colored Heavy Artillery, regiment mustered out of Knoxville [Ref: Melinda Freels 4/2002]

court martialed while commanding the 1st US Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment. Apparently while patrolling the banks of the French Broad River, John was ordered to split his men into two parties, one traveling east, the other remaining in Tennessee. Coloner Shannon refused, believing that such action would mean suicide to both diminished groups, and kept his men together. The court martial apparently was held post haste, after which he was acquitted of all charges. After the speedy gtrial, John returned to his troops on the French Broad, where they waited patiently for all the fuss to be over, and the troops rejoined the war efforts.
