I am not sure which James your are looking for, but I have a James McCann b 1854 living in Titus Co by brother's William and Samuel. The James you maybe looking for maybe a uncle to these ones. -----Original Message----- From: LaNelle Gallant [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 8:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [McCANN] Info Martin McCann and Descendents James is found on the 1870 census living in Randolph County, Georgia.

JKs is noted on the census which I take to be Jackson (Jacksonville?), GA. It does not list ages, where born or any other info. This is what it has in the order it is given. The letters in parenthesis are what is shown after the name on a list I got from Early Georgia Settlers 1700's-1800's. I do not know what they mean. Anna (B), Charles (B), Hugh (T), Joshua (T), Martin (J), Richard (H). Does anyone know who Anna is? Joshua? Richard? Can these be Martin's siblings and his sons Hugh and Charles namesakes? Martin would have been about 30 if my limited info on Martin is correct. I believe he was born between 1799-1801. Martin's son Algerine was born in 1834 to Martin and his first wife (unconfirmed) whom I am told was Polly Sykes. Does anyone have confirmation on Polly Sykes? I have info that his second wife's name was Lucretia Pool. Does anyone have confirmation on Pool? > > There are so many of us that have bits and pieces of info and I'm hoping to get it arranged in some sort of format that will make it not so confusing .... unless someone has already done this. If so; please let me know who to contact for a copy. > > I have the information on Algerine and family for those who need it. > > Does anyone have confirmation or date of marriage for Martin and Lucretia? I have notes they married 4/12/1840 which will answer questions re: which children were born to which wife; but I do not have confirmation. > > I show Martin's son Charles McCann on the 1860 census as age 30 (with 33 written in parenthesis), steam mill worker, wife Elizabeth age 20 and children Martin (7), James (6) and Mary (1). Charles married Elizabeth Rebecca King on 12/04/1851 per Early County, GA marriage records. Per ECG Marriage records Elizabeth married Will Temples 11/11/1866. I believe Charles died in the Civil War. Does anyone have any more information on Charles and Elizabeth? Would this Elizabeth have been related to the King's who settled in the same area as Algerine McCann in Sarepta, Bossier Cty., LA?. (McCann's, Kings and Leggetts all show up together in the same locations on a regular basis). Can anyone make that link? Does anyone have information confirming whether Charles is the son of Polly or Lucretia? > > I have Martin's son William marrying Mary Lingo in Stewart County, GA. on 6/15/1841. I have Mary Lingo's parents as Pinkston and Effy Lingo. I show one son to William and Mary; William D. I show one son to William D.; Samuel. I show Samuel marrying a Sarah and moving to Texas in 1880. I show a son Obie with a son (?) Essie Carl and a son George. Is William the son of Martin and Lucretia? This is information accumulated from the message boards and I have no confirmations. I have some old unconfirmed information that may be from the 1850 census that shows William age 26, Mary, 26, Henry, 6, Pinkerton, 5, John, 3, William, 1, Samuel, 1 and Sesemia 4. Twins? > > I show there was one daughter; Charlotte born approx. 1833. > Does anyone have confirmation on Charlotte and which marriage she was the child of? This is information accumulated from the message boards and I have no confirmations. > > > Per 1860 census: Hugh McCann age 34 (with 33 in parenthesis)occupation sawyer; wife Lucinda age 45. Per Early County, GA marriage records Hugh McCann married Lucinda Kelly on 2/18/1845. I believe Hugh died in the Civil War. Lucinda McCann married L.B. McJunkin on 11/3/1866 (ECG Marriage Records). I have some extremely old notes that I think are from the 1850 census that show Hugh age 26 and Lucinda age 26 so there is some discrepancy there on Lucinda's age. > > I have some very old, uncomfirmed information that there was a Lucinda born 8/23/1858 and died 08/1871. I don't know where this Lucinda fits in... or if she even does. > > I did not find James in the marriage records or on the 1860 census. > > I show Martin and Lucretia on the 1860 census both as age 61 and his occupation is shown as "planter". These were not on the regular lists; these were on index type cards pulled from a seperate file by a very kind lady. On the corner of the card was "N.C." which I take to confirm North Carolina. If this is correct then both Martin and Lucretia were born in 1799. There was also a card for Lucretia for the 1870 census but not for Martin. I have some old, unconfirmed information that may be from the 1850 census that shows Martin age 50, Lucretia, 51, Peter, 13 and Algena? (possibly Algerine), 14. This was very difficult to read and Peter and Algena were almost impossible to decipher. They may not be correct at all. I have an unconfirmed note that Martin was a veteran of the Seminole Wars in Florida. > > Does anyone have specific information on where and when Martin served? There was a post that someone had a copy of the pension application made out by Lucretia. I tried to email but the address was no longer any good. If you're still out there; would you please email me? > > If you can add to the information please do so. It would be gratefully appreciated if you could supply your source (if any) or indicate unconfirmed. Most of what I've learned I've found by following unconfirmed information. It is absolutely invaluable but I don't want to write something as tho it's proved accurate when we're not positive yet of the info. > > > > ==== McCANN Mailing List ==== > Note: To RETRIEVE the most recent McCann RootsWeb Digests from Archives: > Address: [email protected] > Subject: archive > Text: get volume98/latest/n > n = number of digests you want -- up to a max of 18. > > ==== McCANN Mailing List ==== Plea: Your Support Keeps RootsWeb Free!
