He was born in 1923 and he died in 2004. His father was Sampson McCann. Sampson was killed on the courthouse steps in Keota OK, along with his brother Henry. They were shot because they were found not guilty and the person who accused them did not like it. My grandmother was Lorean or Lorene Carpenter McCann. My dad had several brothers and sisters. Doyle, Wilma, Chris, Hiawatha(Mac), and I believe Pocahontas. Sampson and Henry were killed in 1928. I believe my dad was born in Keota although I am not 100% sure, and his birthdate was 4/23/1923 and it might have been 1924 because he joined the Navy when he was 17. I believe that my great grandmothers name was Ho Ke Qua or Ho Ke Na? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
