| Note | From E. Eugene Gann, North Little Rock, AR. Joy Turner Starr, Rose Duncan Gann, Nocona, TX & Joyce Cope Berry, Mesa, AZ. Personal interviews: Susanna Adair Turner and Eugene Clyde Adair 1930 thru 1997. Eva Victoria Pitt and records from personal files of Mattie Clyde Pitt Cope. !1870 Federal Census, Charleston P.O., Hopkins Co. TX lists Joseph A. Gann age 21, M W Farmer b. SC; Cynthia age 16, F W b. AL; Thomas age 1, M W b. MS. !1880 Federal Census, Precinct 3, Lamar Co, TX lists Jos. (Jas.) A. Gann age 31, W M Farmer b. AL, father b. AL, mother b. AL; S. E. Gann age 25, W F Keeping House b. AL, father b. TN, mother b. SC; Thos. M. Gann age 11, W M b. MS; Mary A. Gann age 9, W F b. TX; Wm. B. Gann age 7, W M b.TX; May C. Gann age 4, W F b. TX; Nancy B. Gann age 3, W F b. TX; Calidonia Gann age 1, W F b. TX. !Mississippi Marriage records for Monroe Co, Ms list marriage of I. (J.) A. Gann to Cynthia E. Pitt on 13 May 1868. !Sources: Copy of Marriage Bond dated 13 May 1868 in the sum of two hundred dollars for the marriage of J. A. Gan and Miss Cynthia E. Pitt, Bondsmen were J. A. Gan and William Pitt. Signed, John R. Gilleylen, Clerk of the Probate Court, Monroe County Mississippi. Copy of Application for Marriage License dated 13 May 1868, sworn and subscribed before John R. Gilleylen, Clerk, Monroe County Mississippi. ".... on this day personally came J. A. Gann who requests a license to marry Miss Cynthia E. Pitt daughter of Wm Pitt and made oath that he was twenty one years of age on the 27th day of October 1867 according to Records of Birth kept by his Parents and that his Parents are residents of Tennessee." Copy of Marriage License and record of marriage dated 16 May 1868. " I have this day solemnized the Rites of Matrimony between Mr. J. A. Gann and Miss Cynthia E. Pitt" signed J. T. Cunningham. !An analysis of the event dates shown on the above records indicate that after Joseph Allen and Cynthia married and their first child was born in Mississippi they migrated along with other family members (those members include Pitt, Dickerson, and Parker surnames) to Texas, moving from Hopkins County to Lamar County by 1880. They are not listed in Lamar County on the 1900 census although their oldest son Thomas Melton with his wife and child appear in Lamar County. At the date of this entry I have been unable to locate Joseph Allen and Cynthia on a census later than 1880, however, their children appear in various counties in Oklahoma and Texas through the 1920 census. Personal interviews with my Uncle Eugene Adair indicates that the family moved from Texas to Arkansas to Oklahoma between 1880 and 1910. Allen was living with Nancy Bell and her husband Alonzo Adair in Johnston County, Oklahoma at the time of his death in 1909 ( Gene was eight months old). Cynthia died before this date. Two family members not listed on the above census but known to Gene are two daughters born after 1880, Josie, probably Josephine, and Maud, probably Maudine ( one of Gene's daughters was named Maudine also).
