Charles is listed in the Troy 1880 US census and city directories in the 1870's. He married to Katherine/Kate O'Loughlin and had a son Charles F. McCann, any my G grandmother Florence McCann (Danforth). I've never had any luck tracing his parents, siblings, or their arrival, however, and my guess is that he was orphaned. There is a James McCann in Troy around that time around the same age? There are a number of McCann's in the Albany and Troy areas starting about 1850 and with growth until 1900. I recall seeing a Felix McCann in Albany in the 1880 US. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
