Hi, Folks, A friend has shared an abstract of an Adams Co., PA Orphans Court Record dated 3 Jan 1809 relating to the Estate of a Joseph Brown, deceased. From the reading of this abstract, it appears that John Brown had a granddaughter named Jane described as the wife of a Hugh McCann. Jane's siblings appear to have been named: Robert, George, Eleanor, Elizabeth (m. Wm. Mayes) Miriam, Rebecca, Mary and Hannah. It appears that Jane's Father was also deceased by Jan 1809 and his siblings were: Robert, Margaret m. James Martin, Rebecca m. John Smith, Hannah m. John McElnay, Mary m. Joseph Galbreath, and Elizabeth m. Robert Hall Esq. Can anyone identify this Hugh McCann? Best regards, Jane

Sorry, Folks, Looks like I mis-read that court abstract. Correcting the info. to read that John Brown had a daughter named Jane. > From the reading of this abstract, it appears that John Brown had a >daughter named Jane described as the wife of a Hugh McCann. >Jane's siblings appear to have been named: Robert, George, Eleanor, >Elizabeth (m. Wm. Mayes) Miriam, Rebecca, Mary and Hannah. It appears that Jane's Father was the deceased John Brown son of the deceased Joseph Brown. Robert was a son of John not a son of Joseph. Changing the following to read that Jane's Father's (John's) siblings did not include Robert who was, instead John's son. >It appears that Jane's Father was also deceased by Jan 1809 and his >siblings were: Margaret m.
