  • Notes 
    • 1.According to Mr. Jim Snodgrass of Knoxville, Tennessee in a letter of June 1984, John McCann came into Wilkes County, North Carolina from Pennsylvania prior to 1810, settling in the Trap Hill area. Additional data from Jerry Gentry of Elkin, N.C. has been added to the family outline appearing on the following pages. Those listed are believed to have been the family of John McCann and his unknown wife, listed on 1810 and 1830 censuses. Cousin Kevin John McCann of South Australia says in 2003 that John McCann Sr. was born in Ireland ca 1765 and arrived in American 15 Mar 1775 on the ship Pennsylvania Packet. He must have died after 1830 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Kevin further relates that John was listed on the voyage as a cabinet maker and joiner. He later built a mill in the Trap Hill area of Wilkes County.
