    3. Hi, Folks, This is the Harrison Co. McCann material which is a follow-up to the earlier email which I just sent to this list. James McCANN (1809-1887)and Achsah/Aghsah JOHNSON (1810-1897) are buried in the Bridgeport Cem., Harrison Co. WV, along with his parents, Thomas McCann (1745-1828) and Martha YAMAN (1767-1845), as well as James and Achsah's son William (1836-1858) and perhaps another, later son, or grandson, Ludwig Kossuth McCann (1851-1854). Does anyone know whose son Ludwig was? There may not be any stones for these McCanns. I found their names in an index of burials for this Bridgeport, Harrison Co. cem. in the Simpson District Cem. book published by the Harrison Co. Gen. Soc. In the Poplar Section of the Bridgeport Cem., there is a John Lindsey McCANN b. 10/2/1895 d. 3/24/1986; and in "Sanctuary #19" of the same cem. is buried an Estella Jean ROWE McCann b 12/5/1897 d 10/26/1979. Does anyone know who these McCanns were? Were they a part of this Thomas McCann b. 1745 line? From Wes Cochran's book of marriages and from the 1850 Census, I've pieced together the following information on James and Achsah's family children: Thomas MCCANN b: Abt. 1831 Martha Letitia MCCANN b: 1833 +Lemuel Davisson JARVIS b: 1821 m: June 12, 1862 in Harrison Co.,[W]VA d: 1896 William MCCANN b: January 20, 1836 d: October 03, 1858 in Harrison Co., VA Burial: Bridgeport Cem., Simpson District, Harrison Co., WV Sarah MCCANN b: Abt. 1839 +John W.

Very best regards, Jane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jane McCann Walsh [email protected]
