    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.,

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

    Census:
    Enumeration: 22001-20001
    No slaves

    Possessions:
    Robert owned 4 slaves in 1860

    Male 1
    Female 1/12

    Died:
    Findagrave talks about his 2nd wife Millie and says she is a Brown rather than Allen. Though the marriage records don't reflect that.

    Robert married Julia Ann Gann on 3 Jun 1832 in Clarke, Georgia, United States. Julia was born on 21 Jan 1818 in Georgia, United States; died on 9 Nov 1857 in Paulding, Georgia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Julia Ann Gann was born on 21 Jan 1818 in Georgia, United States; died on 9 Nov 1857 in Paulding, Georgia, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: Juliann Gann
    • _AMTID: 162485320975:1030:191555462
    • _FSFTID: KHWM-2M5
    • _UID: D1E2C44BBA2342E79995E21244C690DD61A1
    • Census: 14 Nov 1850, Cobb, Georgia, United States; Address:
      Randals District

    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.

    Birth:
    Findagrave says 1818
