There's a large gap between Ezra's age and Russell's age, so Russell may be the son of one of Rosetta's daughters. Rosetta and Ethel L were reported as born in Illinois, as was Russell, but the others were reported as born in OK. Could not locate the family in the 1900 Census! Found a WWI Draft Registraton Card for Ezra L. McCann in Canton, Fulton, IL stating he was born 11 Sep 1895 in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. Found a 1917 marriage index record for Ezra McCann and Myrtle Slater in Fulton County, IL. By 1930 Ezra McCann and wife Nola M. appear in Rock Island, IL with a son named Frank L. McCann and three daughters. Found a death index record for a Frank Lyle McCann who died 2 Apr 1940 in Moline, Rock Island, IL. Also, found a 1914 marriage index record in Fulton IL for Rose Fouts and H. Harrison Woods. However, I was not able to locate Rose prior to 1910 or after that 1914 marriage --- if that was the same person. I recalled something about McCanns being in the Dawes records concerning Indians in Oklahoma. Found a Sampson Francis McCann b.c. 1904; his Father's name was Austin McCann. Austin was reportedly born in Feb 1858; in 1902 he was reported as a Choctaw Indian age 44, a half-blood. That caused me to wonder if your Frank S. might have been a Francis Sampson McCann, but I did not find anyone by that name. The Dawes files are available now via Fold3 which has a free trial available. You might search for Delphia there. Hope something here helps you.
