Thank you for your reply. You certainly have given me something to think about in regards to the possibility of Ann b. in 1827, moving with her brother Duncan to Alabama. I did have a mitocondrial DNA test taken as the mtdna is past down on the female line in hopes to make a connection with the mother of ANN. Marie

...I have no idea, I am in Oklahoma. For that, you would
have to contact someone in the Wellington, Kansas area,
as that is where the article was out of through the AP.
Good luck...

Ann Cann was the daughter of Obediah Cann and Isabella Campbell. Obediah is a brick wall. Isabella was the daughter of Duncan and Mary Campbell. My information is that Mary went to Alabama and then to Arkansas. She and Joseph Minton (b. 1829 in Pendleton District) may have gone with or because of her brother Duncan Cann, who went to Talladega, Alabama in 1840, and gave several sons to the Confederacy.

cutler30815 — 2009-11-05 23:31:03Z

On the question of your Ann Cann, I don't have an answer but I can say there are several possibilities. There was a Duncan Cann & his wife Elizabeth that did have children in South Carolina and moved to the Talladega, Alabama area. One of the finds is a Rosa Ann Cann as one of the children but several census shows her born about 1836 - not really a match to your Ann Cann born in 1825. Duncan's parents, Obediah Cann and Isabelle Campbell lived in the Abbeville County, S.C. area and had children in the early 1800's but I don't have a complete nor accurate list of the children to be sure and its possible one of these children went with her brother Duncan to Alabama with him

Hi Don
I am researching the McArthur family.
I have hit so many brick wall with this line of my research. I have a Soper and Cripps line in there as well, but my McArthur's seem to be hiding ....
Peter McArthur was born about 1812 in I believe Argyllshire Scotland.
Peter married Mar McEachern born May 1826 in Scotland, Mary emigrated to Canada 1840.
Mary Died & Dec 1902 in Acton Ontario, don't know where she is buried???
They had children
Peter who was born 1854 and died Dec 1906 in Acton Ontario, again don't know where he is buried.

Duncan (MacArthur) born Sept 1858, died Apr 1947, burial Fairview Cemetery Acton. Duncan married Hannah Dron in 1888 and had 10 children, Edna b-1888, Florence (May) b-1890, Robert (Frederick) b-1893, Jean (Jenny) b-1894, Christina b-1899, Theresa b-1899, Clarence b-1904, Helen b-1910, John b-1914 and Seina (Mac)(Cana) birth unknown.

Catherine McArthur was born 1864/71 and married Joseph Wesley Campbell in Jul 1893 Georgetown, Joseph died Aug 1897 and Catherine remarried James Hall in 1901. Catherine had children Christina McArthur b-1887, Ada b-1894, and Mary Ellen b-1896. Catherine and Joseph are buried together in Fairview Cemetery Acton.

What I am hoping to find is where Mary (McEachern) McArthur is buried?
With this info I most likely will know where Peter her husband is buried and also where her son Peter is buried.
Hope something here sounds a bit familiar to the info you have on McArthur's

South Carolina Cann family

hartatir — 2009-10-28 22:25:45Z

I am researching my gg grandmother Ann Cann b. 1827 who married Joseph Alphred Minton b. approx. 1825, both born in South Carolina. I have heard she was born in Abbeville or Anderson County but do not have proof of that. Her family moved to Alabama when she was a child and lived most of her adult life there but did move to Hazen, Arkansas approximately before 1860. I would appreciate any information. Need to know who her father was and mother's maiden name. Marie

Joseph Cann

armbrust0319 — 2009-10-17 17:24:52Z

I am trying to find additional information regarding Joseph Cann (b.1866, Germany) who married Mary Roth. I have followed the family through the 1930 census records where they lived in Long Beach California. I would especially like to locate his obituary. According to the California Death Index he died 10 Jan 1948 in Los Angeles (city or county?). Any assistance will be appreciated.

This Robert Cann is also one of my "brick walls". He was my great great grandfather and I have not been able to find anything regarding his origins. Family tradition has him born in Tiverton, England 28 May 1827 but other than that he is a blank slate. I am even trying the DNA route to find his ancestry but no luck so far.

Re: Canns in New Jersey or Delaware

cybergypsy1 — 2008-07-03 04:11:03Z

Sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't get this message until now. Unfortunately none of the names you mentioned are in my records. My great grandfather joined the Sons of the American Revolution and traced the name back to a John Cann who was born in Ireland, moved to Delaware and then finally settled in New Jersey -- it was around 1776 when he lived in New Jersey. I have his military record. His father left him in the care of his uncle (father's brother) whose name was Charles Cann. I suspect Charles left the country around the time of the war and moved to Nova Scotia. Can't prove it. John's father was Abraham and he was from Bristol England. If any of this rings true, please get back to me, but at sherri.cann@gmail.com. I don't use whatever email address Ancestry.com has any more. Cheers, Sherri

Re: Canns in New Jersey or Delaware

cybergypsy1 — 2008-07-03 04:08:48Z

Sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't get this message until now. I doubt we're related since I know that the name Cann wasn't changed (at least not after the Revolution) because my great grandfather joined the Sons of the American Revolution and traced the name back to a John Cann who was born in Ireland, moved to Delaware and then finally settled in New Jersey -- it was around 1776 when he lived in New Jersey. I have his military record. His father left him in the care of his uncle (father's brother) whose name was Charles Cann. I suspect Charles left the country around the time of the war and moved to Nova Scotia. Can't prove it. John's father was Abraham and he was from Bristol England.

Re: Sir Thomas Cann of Bristol

cybergypsy1 — 2007-09-27 06:34:21Z

My knowledge of my ancestor from Bristol is an Abraham Cann who married an Irish woman who died in childbirth. He was a sea captain. He couldn't raise his son, John B. Cann (who was born in Ireland - Port Rush) so he talked his brother Charles into raising him in Pennsylvania. Abraham never returned to the farm he bought his brother to raise John on, so Charles sent John to New Jersey to apprentice as a blacksmith. Charles sold the farm and moved to Delaware. I don't know what happened to him after that. I suspect he moved to Canada. There are lots of Canns up there.
John served in the Revolutionary war - From the war records I know he was born in Ireland. My great grandfather's notes have both Bristol and Port Rush as birth places for John.

I can never find a connection between Abraham and any of th Cann's in Bristol. Wish I could. Any Help?
Thanks, Sherri Cann

Hi,

I'm looking for information about Hannah Cann, born in Kempton, Gloucestershire about 1827. She later moved to Stourbridge, Worcestershire and married Richard Soley. The strange thing is, I can't find any record of her home town Kempton, as recorded in the 1851 Census when she was already living in Stourbridge.

Any information very gratefully received!

Thanks
