Thanks again for all of your help! Hi, Jeff, Have found that when a history/geography question like that arises Google is an excellent source of information. Found via Google that Birmingham is a township name in Delaware County: http://history.rays-place.com/pa/birmingham-t-pa.htm I have been told that many of the War of 1812 rosters did not survive. So, I gather that a "complete list" would be impossible to create. The National Archives does have an index at the National Archives on microfilm: "Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812." National Archives, 1965. Call # Microfilm 610. Wonder if that is available now via Footnote. They do have the PA Archive books online. But that costs $$ although they do have a 7 day free trial. The PA Historical and Museum Commission has a War of 1812 Index of Soldiers who served from PA online: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r2-61War1812Index/r2-61%20WarOf1812Interface.htm However, it appears that there has been no attempt to alphabetize those names other than to list together all those which begin with the same letter. Pages 38-84 list "M" names with "Mc" names sprinkled throughout. Would be a very nice project for someone with good eyesight to extract all the McCan/McCanns for us from that PA Index. Best regards, Jane

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for that information! That should keep me busy for a while! I can't seem to find a Birmingham, Delaware County, PA. The name of the town must have changed and I have no clue of the new name. Also, is there someplace that I can get a complete list of McCanns who fought in the War of 1812?

Any >information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Hi, Jeffrey, At the time of the 1810 Census, there was one McCann head of household living in Birmingham, Delaware Co. PA. His name was Daniel; he was over 45 (born before 1765) but he did have a male age 10-15 living in his household. Perhaps your Unknown was b. 1795. In 1820 there was a Daniel McCann over 45 in Christiana Hundred, New Castle, DE. An Ephraim McCann age 21 enlisted in the Army in 1818; he was recorded as born in PA; he enlisted in Easton, PA. (That is certainly not a common given name for a McCann. Just a coincidence or was this the father of Wm, Ephraim, Thomas & Rebecca?) Regards, Jane

I am searching for any information on an Emigrant McCann who was born around 1793 in Scotland and settled in Chester, Delaware County, PA. He married a woman with the surname Anderson who was born in Ireland and they had 4 children: William Anderson McCann Ephriam McCann Thomas McCann Rebecca McCann This unknown McCann also fought in the War of 1812. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -jeffrey b. mccann

Cole, Thank you for forwarding the burial location and death date for Alice McCanna (d. 18 Feb. 1930). I'll see if this is Alice (sr.) or dau. Alice by contacting the cemetery. Regards, Paul W. Allred Kanosh, Ut pwallred@frontier.com

Jane, Thank you for forwarding the information on Alice in the 1900 census. I've accessed the 1900 census through HeritageQuest and was only albe to locate Alice McCanna of Davenport, Iowa. However, could not find her information due to the page being so faded. The information you forwarded included: Alice McCanna #220-220, ED 100, Lee, Polk, Ia 42 widow b. Mar 1858, Illinois 6 children - 4 living Parents born - Ireland Question: Does it also show the names of the four living children - if they were residing within her household? Also names, age and month of birth? You assistance is greatly appreciated. Regards, Paul W. Allred Kanosh, UT pwallred@frontier.com

Hi, Paul, Found Alice McCanna in the 1900 Census #220-220, ED 100, Lee, Polk, IA; 42 widow b. Mar 1858 IL 6ch/4lv parents b. Ireland Looks like Thomas died prior to 1900. Did not locate any newspapers in Des Moines, Iowa for that era via Ancestry.com or via The Library of Congress. Did locate an interesting possible Thomas arriving in 1871 NY with James 50, Owen 17 and Burnet? 14.

Regards, Jane

There appears to be a daughters Alice and Mary and sons Thomas and Edward.

On Census for 1920 Patrick McCann and wife Jane are mentioned along with Roy McCann, Maurice McCann,, I want to mention Clestia Scheels who was living there at the time. I found a Post Card addressed to Mrs ,P, McCann which my mother kept in her book, It was from Clestia and addressed to her Aunt. Wonder if he could be the Patrick McCann related to our family. Our family was W. J McCann who ran the Wet Wash there. Ann McCann Meyer
