Pat

JAMES W GANN SON OF ALFRED GANN/ELIZABETH BOWEN. FOUND A DEATH DATE OF 1928 IN CLAY COUNTY ARKANSAS FOR A JAMES. BELIEVE THIS COULD BE ALFRED SON, REASON WE BELIEVE THIS IS THAT ALFRED DAUGHTER HELEN GANN WHO MARRIED LINCOLN HAYS WAS LIVING IN CLAY COUNTY. PAPERS FOUND IN COURT HOUSE STATES HE HAD PROPERTY IN THIS COUNTY. NOT SURE IF HE DIED HERE OR ILLINOIS. THESES PAPERS DO STATE HE WAS FROM ILLINOIS DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS FAMILY AND THE ACTUAL DATE FOR THIS JAMES W GANN OTHER THAN 1928 NEED ANY HELP ON THIS FAMILY
