Re: McCANN - Ireland to Canada

Marg,

I am researching the McCanns from Armagh to Mayo to Ontario, Canada.

I have four brothers: Peter, b. 1821; John, b. 1826; Arthur, b. 1828; and Patrick, b. 1831. They all immigrated and lived in Hibbert, Perth County, Ontario. Two of the brothers were in the 1851, 1861, 1871 census in Hibbert. Those were John and Arthur.

On the 1851 census, Patrick was living with the family (he was about 20) but the last census he was marked in the U.S. Peter was with a wife Mary in Hibbert, but after that census, I have not been able to find either Patrick or Peter for sure.

In the late 1880s, Arthur moved his family to North Dakota.

Have you found anything more about this family? Could you share the letter that you have?

Thanks,

Joni

Unfortunately we have no information about our lineage prior to Horatio Judd McCann who died in a blizzard in Saratoga Wyoming. Wife named Lydia Groseclose McCann. She had William McCann, Lewis McCann, Jacob McCann, Francis "Fannie" McCann fathered by Horatio Judd McCann. The lineage stops with him. As I said all of the older McCanns that have since passed away seem to think they had Indian blood? Cannot find any records of Horation Jud McCann.

McCann of Three Trees, Co. Donegal, Ireland

DoireM — 2012-05-14 12:56:39Z

Looking to connect with the family of Charles and Mary (Barr) McCann. They where from Three Trees and married in 1870. They had at least 10 children. I believe that Mary Barr McCann is a sister of my great, great grandmother Ann (Nancy) Barr who married Michael McCallion of Three Trees.

Thank you.

Mccann Ohio, Massachusetts

Omally26 — 2012-05-01 14:34:16Z

Hello I'm hoping someone knows information about John and Mary Mccann. They were born in Ireland, and immigrated to Ohio. Moved to Fall River Massachusetts. The children I know are Catharine 1843, Rosanna 1842, Mary 1840, John 1838, and Sarah 1830. Sarah married Michael Trainor. I think I am missing some siblings. I would love to know where in Ireland they came from. Sarah is who I'm directly related too. Also at some point John went Blind. Any and all information would be great. Thanks Jackie

Looking for any information about Harry A. Kesler who was born in PA October 1866. He married Anna Moravetz in Mankato, MN 3 Jul 1895. They had 2 boys, Leroy 1898 and Charles 1902 but I can find no trace of him after the 1900 census. On the 1905 census Anna and her boys had been living with her brother Charles for 2 years, but no Harry. By the 1910 census Anna was listed as a widow.

thank you for checking. Horatio had to come from somewhere? Have not found him in any War records, Census records with Lydia Groseclose his wife...that's it. Those old Census didn't ask a lot of questions. But he has got to show up. Thank you. Sue Pam

Forgot to ask: How do your Bells connect to the McCanns? Our McCanns were in Perth South, Ontario. Right now I'll have to wait till I can see how far they were from one another. So far, none of the names in my family are Bells, but I am missing some of the McCann brothers' families.

Re: McCANN - Ireland to Canada

JoniRabena — 2012-04-21 19:35:35Z

Hi, Do you know if Ballyhawly (SP) is in County Mayo? The McCanns who were in Armagh were thrown out right after the Battle? of the Diamond. That's where the saying To Hell or Connaught came from. After that battle, the Protes. went after the Catholics. Most of them went to County Mayo until their immigration. I will get back into this in a day or two and check some names.

Joni

Re: McCANN - Ireland to Canada

JoniRabena — 2012-04-21 19:30:59Z

Pam, I'll get back to you on this if I can make a connection. Those names aren't familiar, but the McCanns in Canada had kids who had kids, etc. so these could be some of them. Arthur McCann and most of his family moved to North Dakota around 1885 or so so they had a lot of U.S. connections.

Joni, I am sorry to report that Eve McCann has passed away. She lived in Oregon and I live in Nevada. She passedin 2006 and I do not have any of her DNA info except that her husband Donald McCann's DNA had a perfect match with a Murray in Canada? I dont know where to go from here. We have never found where Horatio Judd McCann came from, or who he came from. He was married to my Great Grand mother Lydian Groseclose McCann. He froze to death in a blizzard in Laramie Wyoming when he was 27. No information has ever been discovered of his origin. My Grandfather always mentioned his father had jet black hair and dark black eyes. That's it! If you can be of any help I would surely appreciate it. Sue Pam

Re: McCann - Choctaw, etc.

Sue Pam,
I am a late comer to this forum, however, I had asked for alerts regarding the McCann line. I am sorry to hear of the loss of a fellow researcher. I am a firm believer in the Native American blood. I have seen pictures of some of my ancesters out of Anne McCann. No doubt in my mind of lineage.Anne was married to Samuel Milam. Is this couple close to your line?

Re: McCANN - DNA

suepam70 — 2012-04-17 17:11:07Z

Before Eva passed away she had found through DNA that the McCann Dna matched with a Murray. She wasn't sure if McCann's were Murrays or Murrays were McCann's. Was anything determined since 2006? Sue Pam

Re: McCann - Choctaw, etc.

suepam70 — 2012-04-17 17:09:01Z

I don't know if you are still out there doing research. I am sorry to report that Eve passed away. I can't believe it, but it is true. She is gone now and I am trying to pick up the pieces she left behind. We were all trying to find the lineage for Horatio Judd McCann. He froze to death in a blizzard in Wyoming in the 1800's...he was my Great Grand father. My Grandfather, tho very young when he lost his father described his jet black straight hair, and dark black eyes. All the older relatives that have long since passed all seemed to think we had Indian blood? I am wondering if you did any more research on the McCann line?

Re: Frank McCann

Scismgenie — 2012-04-11 15:47:13Z

"Mack" is likely a nick name, and in My McCann Family "Mack' was often mis-written as Mick and Mark. The Mack McCann in my family was a Mathew McCann who apparent was born in Northern Ireland and went to Glasgow Scotland, where his son James was born. James came to the USA and was a shirt maker, in Troy NY and North Adams, Mass, as well as Missouri (1861) and Ontario, Canada, (1865). He worked for P J Boland&Son In North Adams Mass. then later bought it out. James died in California.

Re: McCann

Thanks for trying anyway.
Yes i have noticed there are a lot of McCanns, even when i do come accross McCanns in Lanarkshire in late 1800 and early 1900 it seems that there was more than just 1 set of McCanns living there.
Its really hard as the trees which seem to have my relations on are all private trees and im getting nowhere with people replying to my personal messages!

Re: McCann

rafulk — 2012-04-11 02:05:21Z

I wish I could help--but the only John McCann I have is my grandfathers brother--who was born/stayed in Ireland. the only brother who left Ireland to go to Scotland was Patrick and his date of birth was around the later 1880's-1890's. There are lots of McCann's as you probably found out..if you can get more information, i would check with Church of Latter Day Saints as they have quite alot of genealogy information.sorry i couldn't be of more help! Good luck with your research. You may also want to check with any churches that your grandparents may have been associated with in Wishaw /Lanarkshire--you may find birth/marriage/death records thru them.

Need a bit more information --do you have your grandparents or great grandparents first names --do you know where in Scotland or Ireland--do you have any dates of birth-marriage-death? I have a McCann relative that went from Ireland to Scotland-but I don't know where he wound up--his name was Patrick McCann..

Dani757 — 2012-04-01 18:23:13Z

Hello Joni,

I am sorry, I don't think these are the Peter and Mary you are looking for.

My Peter David McAnn was born August 28, 1876 in Beula, New York and died January 20, 1941 in Rochester, New York. Peter's parents were David McAnn born in Scotland and Elsie Grant.

My (Maymie) Mary Minetta Pearl Crosby McAnn was born August 24, 1889 in Linwood, Ontario, Canada. She died July 6, 1965 in Rochester, New York. Her parents were Jeremiah Crosby and Anna Townsend.

I wish I had better connections for you. Good Luck!

MILES AND MARY MCCANN IN HIBBERT, PERTH COUNTY, ONTARIO, CANADA

JoniRabena — 2012-03-30 23:25:54Z

Hi,

I'm hoping to find someone who may have researched this family. Their children include: Thomas, John, Phillip, Peter, Francis and Gregory.

In 1851 they were on the Hibbert, Perth, Ontario, census.

I'm trying to figure out if they were related in some way to Hugh, Arthur, John,and Patrick McCann who were also in the 1851 census in Hibbert. I guess I'm trying to figure out if Miles and Hugh were siblings.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

JoniRabena — 2012-03-30 23:14:56Z

Hi,

I'm now looking for descendants of Katherine M. McCann, born about 1902 in Toledo, Lucas, Ohio. She was on the 1930 census with her mother, Mary, and her brother, Joseph. At that time Katherine was 24.

She married Frank J. Burgmaier after 1930. Frank died in 1977 in a long-term care facility in Toledo. Katherine died in 1991 in a long-term care facility, also in Toledo.

If there are any descendants out there, please contact me as I have been researching Katherine's ancestry.

Thanks,

McCann's Canada

JoniRabena — 2012-03-30 18:02:49Z

Hi,

I'm researching a line of McCanns born in Canada. Their parents were born in Ireland.

John McCann, born 1826, married Catherine Delaney in Ontario. They had four sons: Peter, John, James, and Hugh.
Peter married Sarah Nigh. James married Mary Ann Keough. I haven't found what happened to John or Hugh as yet.

Peter and Sarah remained in Hibbert, ON until 1901 at least.
James and Mary Ann were in Tuckersmith, Ontario, in 1891 and then were found in Ohio.

John's (b. 1826) father was Arthur McCann, who eventually moved to North Dakota.

Any info on the Peter (b. 1851) who married Sarah Nigh; or any further info on the James (b. 1854) who married Mary Ann Keough would be very very helpful!

Thanks,

Joni

Hi,

Do you by any chance know if George had family in Hibbert, Perth South, Ontario? I am researching those McCanns. Some did move out to Huron and to Ohio, and some moved to North Dakota. I haven't found them all, though, so this George could have been related.
