I'm researching Josephus SHANN (1819/21) and his kids, especially Josephus Jr. who was born in NJ about 1855. I believe he is the same as the William on the 1900 census who was also born in 1855. Josephus Jr. turns up in the 1920 Brooklyn with the same wife and kid as William and I'm almost positive that they are the same person, I just can't seem to get a hold of the birth cert. for any of Williams kids to prove it. Josephus Sr. I believe owned the Rahway Republican and died in NJ in 1913. If anyone else is researching the Shann's maybe we can share some info? Thanks!
