Hello again, I am still looking for my Cann family, I have recently discovered little tidbits I thought I would toss out to see if anyone knows anything more. I am a descendent of Josephine Cann born: 30 Apr 1854. I believe she was born in Brown Co., OH and she died in KY, 25 Dec 1887. On the 1870 census she and all her siblings except 1 are living with a Mrs. Wright (no relation as far as I can tell)

On the 1860 census all of the children, Franklin W. "Frank" Cann b:abt 1849; Rebecca Jane "Jane" Cann b: abt 1852; (my) Josephine Cann b: 1854; Charles "Charlie" Cann b: abt 1857; and Catherine Cann b: abt 1859, are with their parents David Cann b: abt 1827 and Dulie or Nella (depending on which census 1860/1850) b: abt 1832.

Josephine married Oliver Bercaw of Ripley, Brown, OH. I have contacted the Brown county court house and they do not have any records regarding the marriage or guardianship of Josephine and her siblings.

If anyone has any information, I seem to be at a (hopefully temporary) stopping point, I would apprieciate all/ or any help, suggestions of where to look next even. Thanks in advance. Robin

Hi Robin, You might consider looking at military records. I think that the civil war was about that time. Maybe that could be a place to look. If David's family took out a pension you might hit the jackpot of info!! Kelly
P.S. let me know if that helps

I recieved the military records, I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Thanks, Robin

I know it may be late you may have the information you need: My mother is a Cann from Clermont (Chilo) I got alot of info. from familysearch.org you can download birth and death certificates also. David Cann is on there he is relation to me. Amy Bogart

I am still here and I would be happy to exchange info, my email is begat(at)sbcglobal(dot)net, Kelly
