Sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't get this message until now. I doubt
we're related since I know that the name Cann wasn't changed (at least not after
the Revolution) because my great grandfather joined the Sons of the American Revolution
and traced the name back to a John Cann who was born in Ireland, moved to Delaware and
then finally settled in New Jersey -- it was around 1776 when he lived in New Jersey. I
have his military record. His father left him in the care of his uncle (father's
brother) whose name was Charles Cann. I suspect Charles left the country around the time
of the war and moved to Nova Scotia. Can't prove it. John's father was Abraham
and he was from Bristol England. If any of this rings true, please get back to me, but at
sherri.cann(a)gmail.com. I don't use whatever email address
Ancestry.com has any more.
Cheers, Sherri
