Notes:
Jane applied for a Confederate widow's pension after John Gann died. She applied in 1926. He applied in 1915. Application No. 24723
Birth:
The 1900 census records Jane as born in Tennessee. But that same census reports her parents as both from Georgia. Interestingly, that might part actually be correct. Based on other census and based on the migration of the family, it seems much more likely that she was born in Alabama, as reported on the first census she appears in, with both her parents.
Findagrave shows that she was born in Paulding Co., Georgia.
Died:
Her death has also been listed as 8 Feb instead of 18 Feb.Notes:

The 1910 census says that Jane and John had been married for 45 years.Children:

Notes:
In th 1860 Census, Nathan Gann is listed just a couple of pages from Robert Gann. In 1842, John, Robert, and Nathan Gann all stand for a bond for John Gann as administrator of the estate of Samuel F. Gann. A bill of sale signed by Seaborn Gann is part of the estate papers. All of this is in Cobb County. Seaborn Gann is just a few pages beyond Nathan Gann in Paulding County in 1860 as well.,

Findagrave says he was born in 1816, Other places seem to say 1813.

Notes:
Juliar is probably really Julia. By 1860, she does not appear in the census, but new daughters appear who was born in 1853 and 1855. My suspicion is that Juliar probably died after 1855 and before 1860.

- _UID: 427B5BBCE1CF4BC3ACD5FA888F411DA729AC
- Census: 1850, Cherokee, Alabama, United States
Notes:
In searching for James Armour, I find that there are a large number of Armour families, including a James that could fit this record, in Hall County, Georgia in 1840. This seems a place to look further.
A number of family trees on Ancestry include James M. Armour. They show his first wife to be Effie Emily Sewell and that he was from Hall County, Georgia. This is definitely an area to look for the family. How did he end up in the area where Milly Allen was?
Other sources show that James Armer was born in Jackson County. The mystery marriage to Effie Sewell is found in South Carolina, so I am skeptical that this is at all correct.
Died:
Millie is found in the home of J.S. and Charlotta Pool in the 1860 Census of Paulding County, Georgia without James. The 1860 Census does not record marital status, but it appears that she is alone. Her daughter is also not there with her. Where is she in 1860? Is she with James, separate from Millie? Is James dead and she is with someone else? In any case, Millie marries Robert Gann in 1865, so that means James is out of the picture by then anyway, apparently dead, most likely dead by 1860.James married Millie Allen before 1848. Millie was born about 1821 in Georgia, United States; died on 15 Feb 1893 in Paulding, Georgia, United States; was buried in Paulding, Georgia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

- Census: 23 Jun 1880, Dallas, Paulding, Georgia, United States; Address:
District 1080
Notes:
According to her daughter's 1910 census enumeration, she was born in Alabama. However the other census records all record her as from Georgia.
Perhaps a way to track her down is to find families in 1840 in Cobb or Paulding County, Georgia that she could fit into that are near to Smith families where Thomas would fit.
N5
Backtracking with Millie Allen, we know the following:
Burial - 1893, Paulding County, Georgia
Death - 1893, Paulding County, Georgia
Residence - 1860-1893, Paulding County, Georgia
Marriage 3 - 1865, Paulding County, Georgia
Residence - 1850, Cherokee Co, Alabama
Marriage 2 - before 1848 birth of her child, probably AL
Birth of Rhoda - 1844 - AL
Marriage 1 - before 1843 birth of her child, GA or AL
Birth - about 1821, probably GA
So, as a hypothesis, Millie was born in GA around 1821. She married Thomas Smith around 1843 in Georgia. I suspect that they moved to Alabama, probably Cherokee County area. He died shortly afterward, probably without a will since he was likely very young and without property. Though having a daughter, there may have been a guardian appointed. But again, without property, perhaps not. Millie likely remarried fairly quickly, being young and with a child, to James Armer. He was a little older and had lost his wife and had young children to raise who needed a mother. He died after only a few years as well. Somehow, she ended up moving back to Paulding County, Georgia. What was the attraction back to Paulding and how did she end up there? Did she come alone?
Possibly, Millie and her family moved to Alabama and she married Thomas there, since Rhoda always reports that her father was from Alabama.
Census:
Milly Armer is enumerated in 1860 in the home of J.S. and Charlotta Pool, along with Thomas Lacky. Milly is listed as 34 years old.
Charlotta is 52 and J.S. Pool (or Bool) is 68. Perhaps Charlotta / Charlotte is a sister to Milly. This is not a very common name but it crops up in this family quite a lot.
J.S. Pool is enumerated next door to E.W. Pool, age 33 (probably a son).
Census:
In the 1870 census, Millie is recorded as Melia and as age 42.
Census:
In the 1880 census, Milly reports that both her parents were born in Georgia. She also only reports herself to be 53 years old.
