Grandfather was the son of John Cann and Jane Hill. William
Honey Cann B: March 12,1845. Children he had was born in
United States. His father and mother John Cann & Jane Hill,
had the following children that I know, Abraham,William Honey, Ephram,Elizabeth,Mary
Jane,there are a few more I will have to get back to you on this. John Cann was the son
of Samuel Cann & Charity Arscott. John was born 1809 in
South Tawton area. I don't know there children yet. I did find
out that the Cann name goes back as far as 1443. I live in
Oil City,Pa. where do you live? My grandfather & grandmother
