Ganns in the American Revolution
Adam and his son, Thomas Sr, are recognized as Patriots of the
American Revolution by both the
Sons of the American Revolution and the
Daughters of the American Revolution. Gann descendants interested
in joining the SAR can reference my membership (NSSAR # 513383)
if connecting up via my line of descent, or Paul Thurman Butler's
membership (NSSAR # 121633), if connecting via his line of descent,
which goes through a different son of Cornelius Gann (James
Madison Gann, and his daughter, Missouri Alice (Gann) Thurman).
Oregon Gann Information
I have transcripted a large amount of Gann material from Oregon
Vital Records, as well as Gann obituaries from Oregon newspapers.
This is an older set of pages which I need to go through and
re-organize at some point, but the information is correct. Please
see The Gann Family
in Oregon.
Social Security Death Benefits Index I abstracted all of the Gann entries I could for those Ganns
born before 1900. There are two versions of the information
available, one sorted by birth date, and the other sorted by
name. SSDBI
