Hello JohnLewisCooper,
Henry also had a son, Aubrey Cann b. 1912 in Monroe d. 2005 with my children's
ggrandmother, Leola Johnson Gray. These brothers are both descendants of Jerry Cann b.
abt. 1840 in AL. Their mother, I believe was Meloina Cann b. AL abt. 1822.
But, I've been researching where the name comes from and if it has any thing to do
with the Huegonots from Cannes, France and their flee to Louisiana and possibly the Bayou
des Cannes. Could the plantation owner have had plantations in both AL and LA?
