Hello again, I am still looking for my Cann family, I have recently discovered little
tidbits I thought I would toss out to see if anyone knows anything more. I am a descendent
of Josephine Cann born: 30 Apr 1854. I believe she was born in Brown Co., OH and she died
in KY, 25 Dec 1887. On the 1870 census she and all her siblings except 1 are living with a
Mrs. Wright (no relation as far as I can tell)
On the 1860 census all of the children, Franklin W. "Frank" Cann b:abt 1849;
Rebecca Jane "Jane" Cann b: abt 1852; (my) Josephine Cann b: 1854; Charles
"Charlie" Cann b: abt 1857; and Catherine Cann b: abt 1859, are with their
parents David Cann b: abt 1827 and Dulie or Nella (depending on which census 1860/1850) b:
abt 1832.
Josephine married Oliver Bercaw of Ripley, Brown, OH. I have contacted the Brown county
court house and they do not have any records regarding the marriage or guardianship of
Josephine and her siblings.
If anyone has any information, I seem to be at a (hopefully temporary) stopping point, I
would apprieciate all/ or any help, suggestions of where to look next even. Thanks in
advance. Robin
