This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCann Prince Leggett Allen Sheffield Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QOz.2ACEB/743 Message Board Post: I'm going to list some McCann's (and similar names that I found on the GA census). Many of these we already have info on but there are some that we don't know anything about. Also; I've discovered many that are misspelled so I've included some that are similar. I'm listing them the way they are spelled on the census and if I'm sure it is incorrect then I'm putting the correct spelling in parenthesis. All I have is the heads of household. If you can obtain the actual listing information to match these heads of household; then please post it or; if you can; scan it and send it to me in an email. I'm noting the numbers that are shown but do not have the info. as to what they exactly are. Also; I have discovered when searching for McCann's that I need to search with the name run together and Mc Cann with a space between the Mc and the Cann and Mccann (all one word with two small C's). I've also found our folks spelled McCan and McCaun and McCanne and a few other bizarre! spellings. That's why we need birthdates so desperately (so we can match the misspelled name to the date). If you have any additional info; please post it. We're all tired of tracking Martin! I'd really like to get PAST him! 1800 GA: Oglethorpe Co.: Mccain, Hugh, 000 Mccain, Hugh, 2, 20010-1110100 Oglethorpe Co.: Mccann, James 000 Mccann, James 10, 00010-2001000 Franklin Co: Mc Cann, James, 014, 1802, tax list Mc Cann, John, 040, 1802 tax list Mc Cann, John, 042, 1802 tax list Mc Cann, John, 019, 1803 tax list Mc Cann, John, 018 1808 tax list 1810 GA: Mc Can, James, Sr., 155, 1819 tax list Mc Canta, ???, 143, 1819 tax list 1830 GA: Jackson Co: Mc Caun, Martin, 330 (our Martin McCann) Hall Co: Mc Cann, Richard, 078 Thomas Co: Mc Cann, Hugh 018 Mc Cann, Johsua (Joshua). 029 Burke Co: Mc Cann, Anna, 137 Mc Cann, Chalres (Charles), 138 1850 GA: Thomas Co: Mc Cann, Cathnel 81st Dist, 057 Mc Cann, Joshua, 81st Dist, 053 Early Co: Mc Cann, Charles, 25th Dist, 296 Mc Cann, Hugh, 25th Dist, 311 Mc Cann, James, 25th Dist, 330 Mc Cann, Martin, 25th Dist, 312 Mc Cann, William, 25th Dist, 311 Richmond Co: Mc Cain, Lucinda 73rd Div., 499 (I'm pretty sure our Lucinda McCann) Mc Cann, Phelip, 73rd Div., 450 Stewart Co: Mc Cann, John, 31st Dist, 075 Chatham Co: Mc Cann, James, 13th Dist, 307 1860 GA: Early Co: Mccann, Charles, Octavia PO, 629 Mccann, Hudson, Octavia PO, 629 Mccann, Martin, Octavia PO, 646 Also; we believe that Martin served in the Seminole War under Capt. John Thomas GA Militia. A pension claim was filed by Lucretia (WO*39342) but was denied because they couldn't find record of him. I believe that this is due to misspelling of the last name (which could have come out almost anything). Another McCann researcher obtained this info from a book that had a list of the War of 1812 Pensioners. Does anyone have any access who could check for misspelled last name and/ or anyone in that militia with the first name Martin ... and a last name that might accidentally be construed to be McCann? Does anyone have anything in particular on Anna and Richard McCann. There is at least a possibility that they are parents, siblings? Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
