Can any of my South Carolina Cann cousins help on where the following ancestors of mine are buried? Obediah Cann and his wife, Isabelle Campbell, their son, Obediah Lynch Cann & wife Frances Pendleton Gaines, and their son Obediah Lynch Cann Jr. and his wife, Mary Patterson. I've found Obediah Jr. and Mary Cann's son, ( my 2 times great grandfather ), Jesse Obediah Cann with both wives - I decend through his 1st wife, Ellen Winn who died at 28 yrs old as well as many other Cann(s) that are related at the Bell's United Methodist Church in Abbeville, SC are there. Also I'd love to see any old pictures of these folks. Thanks, Richard

I am researching my gg grandmother Ann Cann b. 1827 who married Joseph Alphred Minton b. approx. 1825, both born in South Carolina. I have heard she was born in Abbeville or Anderson County but do not have proof of that. Her family moved to Alabama when she was a child and lived most of her adult life there but did move to Hazen, Arkansas approximately before 1860. I would appreciate any information. Need to know who her father was and mother's maiden name. Marie

On the question of your Ann Cann, I don't have an answer but I can say there are several possibilities. There was a Duncan Cann & his wife Elizabeth that did have children in South Carolina and moved to the Talladega, Alabama area. One of the finds is a Rosa Ann Cann as one of the children but several census shows her born about 1836 - not really a match to your Ann Cann born in 1825. Duncan's parents, Obediah Cann and Isabelle Campbell lived in the Abbeville County, S.C. area and had children in the early 1800's but I don't have a complete nor accurate list of the children to be sure and its possible one of these children went with her brother Duncan to Alabama with him

Ann Cann was the daughter of Obediah Cann and Isabella Campbell. Obediah is a brick wall. Isabella was the daughter of Duncan and Mary Campbell. My information is that Mary went to Alabama and then to Arkansas. She and Joseph Minton (b. 1829 in Pendleton District) may have gone with or because of her brother Duncan Cann, who went to Talladega, Alabama in 1840, and gave several sons to the Confederacy.

Thank you for your reply. You certainly have given me something to think about in regards to the possibility of Ann b. in 1827, moving with her brother Duncan to Alabama. I did have a mitocondrial DNA test taken as the mtdna is past down on the female line in hopes to make a connection with the mother of ANN. Marie

Cannsm,

I am interested in Ebenezer Cann, son of Duncan. He died at Rock Island, Ill. prisinor of war camp in December of 1863. My question is, where would he have been buried? Ebenezer (first) married my ggrandmother in 1861. She later married my ggrandfather while in Ark.:therefore, I am not a Cann but interested in this family.
