No Effing Way!!! I'm related to Nancy Gann's sister, Willa. Willa Gann had 5 children - 2 boys and 3 girls. Her daughter, Mary Ellen Joy, is my great, great, great grandmother.

I don't have a Willa as one of Nancy's sisters, only Martha and Louisanna (and they never left Georgia).

My Nancy was the daughter of John Gann and Mary Ann Allen. I do know that several Gann families from Georgia made it to Arkansas and on out that way. There is apparently a Gann House and museum in Benton, Arkansas that belonged to one of the first doctors in the town. He, or his family, are from the Georgia Gann line.
