Related Families of Canton Township, McPherson Co., KansasUpdated May 7, 2006 | In the course of researching my father's family line, I realized that many of the families of Canton, McPherson County, Kansas are actually related and probably came west together.I have compiled a fairly detailed and well-documented database of these families with the help of some distant "cousins", online resources such as Chalkey's "Annals of the Scotch-Irish in Virginia", and several helpful historical societies, especially the McPherson County Historical Society in Lindsborg.Of course, genealogical libraries and the National Archives have been utilized as well.I have NOT relied on Ancestry Family Trees because I have found many errors and lack of documentation. I have also included my mother's line even though her family comes from the Pacific Northwest.She has some interesting lines going back to General Sam Houston and possibly Pocahontas. Both family lines have a fair number of Revolutionary War veterans who are listed in the DAR register.Several also served in the War of 1812, Civil War, etc. I look forward to hearing from other "cousins" who may have differing information.Of course, this is a work in progress, so I will be adding and changing over time.I hope this database is helpful for you and will help fill in the gaps. |
