Just starting research in my branch of the Canns. My great great grandmother was Hattie E. Cann. Born in Alabama in 1868 and died about 1940. Married John W. Douglas in 1883 and lived in Texas. Children Arlie, Ada Belle, Otho, Robert, Eula, Arana, Truman, Renee and Thee. Are we related?

Anythinbg out there on Canns who settled in Ontario and were supposed to be from a seafaring family?

I have a little information on my branch of the CANN family that settled in Ontario and St. Clair area of Michigan. Oral history has members of the CANN, CRIPPS (KRIBS), SOPER,McARTHUR, McCLINTOCK and JUSTIN famiies as being from a seagoing background. Would be happy to share. drjustin2@email.msn.com

Are your Cann's african american

No, our Cann's are not African Americans. Good luck with your search!

Refer to msg #165 2/15/01. Uriel Cann married Mary Babcock in Stanton, England Mar 27,1851 and later moved to Ontario. Stanton may be in Devonshire, but I'm not sure. What say you?

Where is your family from?

Saw your posting about Cann. I am also researching the Cann name from Alabama. This is my brick wall. My gg grandmother was married to a Cann in AL. He apparently died? in the Civil War. She later married my gg grandfather. Maybe we are looking for the same family. Wish I knew.

I read info from Kisha, she is a cousin searching also.
Do you have any info?
Thank you.

I received this post by mistake. My Canns are white. I did not recognize any of the given names in your post.

Good luck in your search!
