She lists her father as William Jess and I believe that her mother was Mary McCleave. I am not sure of this - but Mary Jess of Ballykeel is recorded as being present at the birth of many of their children. My grandfather was their youngest, Richard Grubb Coulter. They lived in Drumlough, Down. Do you know anything about this story? I have a gut feeling that Mary Ann McCann was illegitimate or from a first marriage of Mary McCleave.
