Hi Jen,
I am researching Cann family connections with Westleigh in North Devon, and see that you have also researched this family. As Westleigh is such a small village I feel that our researches may well link at some point.
The earliest family I have is William Cann, b. Westleigh C1802, and his wife Ann, b. Westleigh C1810. William's occupation was Schoolmaster, and it has been handed down through the family that he only had one arm. His son John (my g.grandfather) was b.Westleigh C1841 and a house painter by trade. He was responsible for the redecoration of Tapeley House just outside the village.
I have some records of John's decendants.
