Charles was born in New York (possibly Berlin, NY) in 1849 died before 1890. He lived in in Troy, New York. Charles married Catherine O'Loughlin who was born in Mass. (possibly Springfield) abt 1850 and died aft. 1896. They had two children: Charles F. McCann (1874-1915) and my great-grandmother Florence (McCann) Danforth (1878-1941), both born in or near Troy, NY. Census data indicates that Charles McCann's father was born in Ireland, and he may also have been named Charles. Catherine O'Loughlin father, Timothy O'Loughlin was born in Ennis, Clare (b. abt 1824) - (died bf. 1891, in Rensselaer, NY) and emigrated around 1835, entering at New York. Timothy was a bootfitter and saw significant combat in Civil War. His father was Tim/Timothy O'Loughlin b. abt 1793 in Burren, Clare, Ireland. His mother was Jane NLN, born in Tulla, Galway. Catherine's mother was Catherine Nester/Nestor, born abt. 1824 in Clare, Ireland and died in Troy, NY in 1863. Thanks for any help you can give me.
