I saw your post and noticed that you also are looking for Donnelly information. I am also researching McCann and Donnelly.

Will do.

Also in search of information on a McCann ancestor: James McCann. He migrated to Charleston SC in 1748. He was a physician who may or may not have been married prior to emigrating. Don't have definite informatiion that G'G'pa James was from Armaugh, just note that McCanns are/were thick as fleas according to old record available on the internet. Making 1st trip to Ireland in Sept '13 and would be interested in finding what I may about roots 'over there'. Thanx!
