Marilyn: I'm just going with anything I find on any McCanns' from around Plymouth. Elroy was only 2 and one half miles from Plymouth, That's where George McCann was from. Here I am going through all my old papers again, I have a copy of a death record for a Margaret McCann, Her father was Thomas, and her Mother was Bridget Daugherty. Some one was just looking for that name a couple days ago, She was married to a Patrick McCarly She died in 1895 of heart Disease in outgamie County, Wisconsin Fredonia was the town. Will have to put this on the McCann site., Hope something good is on it tomite, Talk to you later, Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilyn Marklinger <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 11:59 AM Subject: Re: [McCANN] ALICE RUTH MCCANN > Ann > Thats a good one , She must belong to one of our relitives > Love, Marilyn > - Original Message ----- > From: "amccann74" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 1:05 PM > Subject: [McCANN] ALICE RUTH MCCANN > > > > Hi: > > Does anyone relate to Alice Ruth McCann?

Perhaps he found it more >advantageous to be Anglo-Saxon i.e., British. His family may have dropped >the Mc some generations before. OR his name is not a derivative of McCann >at all. The story my grandfather gave me was that our surname was McCann "way back when," and part of the clan dropped the "Mc" as a result of a feud and left, eventually finding their way to North America (Nova Scotia initially, which means "New Scotland"). Since getting into genealogy, I have 1,300 Canns in my data going back to 1565, and a lot of what my grandfather had told me is now coming out as true, but not the McCann surname. I sure hate to see all of you folks going to all this trouble on my account, but it would sure be interesting if I could prove the connection. I am List Admin for the Cann list and board on RootsWeb, and we have gone through this there too, but never got anywhere with it. If the Cann/McCann connection is there, it is sure well hidden :-) David Cann [email protected] *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 06/17/2002, at 11:06 PM, Big River wrote: >Hi Jane and David, > >Its hard to be sure how Cann fits in.

Hi: I received a E-Mail reply to the Arrmagh list. that I sent regarding my McCann family. She wondered if my McCanns included a Betty McCann. I have just found out about my McCann link so have very little right now,, only that she was in Carlingford, Louth in 1841 and they have connections to the southern area of Armagh(Crossmagien, Upper Creggian Parish,County Armagh. Related surnames. Rice,Breen, Donnelly and Coyle. This lady signed her name Sally I gave info on some of the McCanns from Wisconsin on The Rice, Family and also some of the McCann still live in Wisconsin, Can't remember exactly who I sent the info to. If anyone is interested, I will send her E-Mail Address. Ann T. Meyer (Nee Ann McCann) Again, I don't relate to this family, Wish I could find mine.

Regarding the book I mentioned in that posting, (Jane and all:) Greg, my son, tells me the pages he copied were from microfilm of that old book. I have some of those pages, which show the early names spelled also as M'Can and also as with the small c high following the M Found at the LDS church in Utah. In the basement section. he says he may be able to locate the # of the film and will try to get that for those who might be at that place. The book itself was a pedigree list of all the monarchs families, and succeeding generations, also describing the "Arms" etc. Very interesting book it would seem, and sometimes difficult to decipher. I can only make scanned copies from them...so I have begun scanning, have four pages so far, if anyone would like these please advise, and will send attachments. Mac Can is listed in the Arms as well, Here is what one of the pages says.: spelling as found. A cathalogue of all the Monarchs that have reigned in Ireland, of the line of Heberus-f?onn Ire., and Heremon sons of Mil and are here set down not according to have -------progresion on the overall stemmes, but as they surround one the other be ruling (for the most part) The rest unreadable. The ending says Those from Heremon followeth. This is where the lineage begins. and it is truly awesome, but hard tto follow. though we diid get the McCans who were listed where we could. Dorothy

I do have his E-Mail address, but didn't know if I should post it on the site or not. I did send it direct to Lin. I don't know if she has been in touch with him or not. It is James Benjamin.
