Surnames: Gan, Farmer, McCurrin, Wood, Prater
My great grandfather was William Carroll Gan. He had 12 children all died except for four. Wife was Sallie Ann Farmer, Children who survived are, Osey Lee Gan, George Washington Gan, Eva Gan, and Nancy Gan.

William Carroll married after Sallies death in 1903 to Lucinda Cottongame and they had one child Annie Lou Gan who married McCurrin. William Carroll Gan and Sallie Ann Farmer Gan are buried in the Raleigh Cemetery in Navarro County Texas, along with the dead children. Lucinda Cottongame Gan is buried in the Dawson Cemetery, Navarro County Texas.

My family comes from the Osey Lee Gan side. I have met cousins on FB from George Washington Gan's family. I have never connected with Nancy married a Prater, and Eva married a Wood's side of the family.

I am looking for William Carroll Gan's father and mother. His death certificate says he was born in Arkansas, yet his obituary says he was reared in Arkansas. I have found no Gan's in Arkansas as of yet.

I am looking for Gan relation's. The Gan name is possibly German Jewish. If you have any information on this side of the Gan name please let me know. I know the spelling of the Gan name changed in 1942 when the oldest Gan boy joined the Army, it was changed to Gann.
