Jennifer,
We meet again. :-) I would be most happy to share any Cann information that I have with
you, but YOU yourself are the source for nearly all of what I have on this Benjamin Cann
or his descendants so I am not sure you would gain much if I were to send it to you. I
have roughly 1,800 Cann entries in my database though, and I will be glad to share
anything you want with you.
What struck my interest with Benjamin is that you say he was born in Bristol, England and
that is where my own line of Canns originated with my earliest Cann being Sir Thomas Cann
who was born in 1578. I also have information on some Canns from Devon as well, which is
not far away, and I believe they are connected as well. I am convinced that Benjamin also
descends from "the Bristol Canns" as well, if I could only document the
connection. I've been looking for a long time, so God willing someday I will find
it.
If you are interested in another exchange of information, drop me a line privately and let
me know. I would certainly be interested in another such exchange if you would be. I
sent you two messages not very long ago but without a reply, so if you don't have them
or my email address from our previous exchange, reply here. I am Admin for the Cann list
and board, and do not recommend putting an email address in the open on a message board,
so please think about it before you decide to do that. Looking forward to hearing from
you soon.
