I have no known connection to this family. It may be that it was Delia's mother who was married to an Attaway instead of Delia.

Vann and wife Martha E. were enumerated in Bells District in Cherokee County. Appears they brought their son back to Cobb for burial. From Cobb County, Georgia, Cemeteries, Volume II (the only Vann listed in either volume): Hickory Grove Baptist Church Cemetery 2822 Hickory Grove Road, Acworth, GA 27492 - Vann, Samuel Lee - January 7, 1901 - January 13, 1901 - son of RL and ME Vann; baby From Cobb County, Georgia, Early Marriage Index: Vann, Louis - Nettie Thomas - July 25, 1909 - Book F, page 270 1910 Cherokee County, Georgia - Bells District - May 2, 1910 - Sheeet 10A, page 44 8 - Vann, Lewis, head; M W 40 Md 2/1 year; GA GA GA; farmer/general farm; renting farm # 8 Nettie, wife; F W 20 Md 1/1 year; 0 children/0 living; GA GA GA Lucinda, mother; F W 80 Wd; 4 children/4 living; GA NC GA Thomas, brother; M W 43; single; GA GA GA; blacksmith/repair shop (Robert L. Vann and wife, married 14 years, and family are enumerated at household #6, owning their own farm.) Not sure, but I believe that Burwell Vann was in Cass County in 1850 and in Paulding in 1860. In 1850 Cass, there was that Susan Vann next door (same as in 1870 and 1880) who I suspect is Burrell's sister, but Burrell had a whole different family and if it's the same guy, I can't imagine what happened to his wife and children prior to his marriage to Lucinda Attaway in 1866 Cobb County. In 1840, there's a Nancy Vann enumerated in 1840 Cobb County. She had three sons and one daughter. One male aged 10 to 15, two males and one female in the 15 to 20 age category. Because the Burrell Vann in 1850 Cass and 1860 Paulding had an apparent daughter named Nancy, I suspect that one of the males in Nancy Vann's household in 1840 is your Burrell. Here are some Vann deaths in Cobb from the Georgia Death Index. Lewis A. Vann died January 28, 1941, at age 72 Luke Vann died August 31, 1939, at age 70 Robert L. Vann died January 24, 1946, at age 70 Thomas B. Vann died September 7, 1950, at age 86 BTW, I did some research on the Lewis Attaway family many years ago when his grave was being removed from the Barrett Parkway area. If you have an interest in him, just let me know and I will see what I've kept.
