John Cann was born (date unknown). Parents: William Cann.

Rev. John Cann was born in 1595 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. His date of birth has also been found as 1596. He lived in London, London, England in 1659. John lived in here in "House without Bishopgate," where he published tracts against the monarchy. In 1664, he published the "Comprehensive Bagster Bible." He died in 1667. He is said to have "shared the stake" with his pupil, John Rodgers. No confirmation has been found, but this is believed to mean he was burned at the stake as a heretic for his teachings against the monarchy and Church of England. John Cann was a noted preacher, teacher, translator and printer of the Bible, and author of many religious treatises. The most famous of these was "A Necessity of Separation from the Church of England." He preached a reformed baptist faith, and after the death of John Hubbard, John Cann was chosen their leader in London. After a stormy year or so, he was banished to Amsterdam for preaching against the established Church of England, where he succeeded Henry Ainsworth as pastor of the English Independent Church. "The Calendar of State Papers" of June 9, 1641, shows that John Cann was granted an exclusive license for seven years "to print a bible with annotations, being his own work, and that no man unless he be appointed by him, may print his said notes, whether already printed, or to be printed." It is interesting to note that this is among the earliest of copyrights. When John returned to England from Amsterdam, he immediately got into more trouble over his teachings. Parents: Sir Thomas Cann.

Spouse: Agnes Cann. Agnes Cann and Rev. John Cann were married. In addition to being husband and wife, he was also her uncle (her father's brother). Children were: Agnes Cann, Deliverance Cann.

John Cann was born about 1625 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. Have also found a date of birth as "abt 1636." Information on this individual is from multiple sources, some of which may now be considered questionable with newer information and research. Further research and confirmation is warranted. Parents: Sir William Cann and Margaret Yeomans.

Spouse: Esther Read. Esther Read and John Cann were married on 30 July 1661 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Children were: John Cann.

John Cann was born about 1650 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. He emigrated on 20 July 1675 from London, London, England. John was on list of the ship "Griffin," which sailed from London on July 20, 1675 and arrived in November in New Castle, Delaware. The ship was chartered by Major John Fenwick, the leader of a group of Quakers who founded Salem, New Jersey. It was the first English settlement on the Eastern Shore of Delaware. John Cann and others disembarked at New Castle. He immigrated in November 1675 to New Castle, New Castle County, Delaware. At the time of John's arrival in Delaware, the Plague was in England. It could be that John's arrival and stay in Delaware was because of the Plague in England, but this is unconfirmed. John owned a tract of land in 1680. He bought his first tract of land in 1680, and added more from time to time until in 1685 he paid taxes on 900 acres and two lots in New Castle. He died on 2 May 1694 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He was a Presbyterian. Although John was a Presbyterian, he was friendly with Quakers. He appears to be a personal friend of William Penn. He appears on the Delaware before 1677. The indications are that he was a typical English younger son, a good education but no money except what the eldest son chose to give him, but in this case, that apparently was nothing. He sat on many juries and in 1679 was appointed Constable for one year. When William Penn granted him a large tract of land in 1681, a movement was started to merge the Delaware Counties with Pennsylvania. The result was a petition being drawn up, signed, and sent to Penn. As John Cann's signature appears on the document as a representative of New Castle County, it appears safe to assume that he was one of the leaders. When William Penn assumed direct management of his province, he appointed John Cann a Justice of the Peace, and in 1686, a Provincial Judge. In 1684, he became the first Registrar of Wills for New Castle County, and the same year a Deputy Surveyor. The first elected Assembly was called in 1683, and John Cann was chosen as a representative of New Castle County. The following year he became a member of the Provincial Council. The growing dissatisfaction with the appointment of officers for the three lower counties came to a head in 1690, and the members of these counties refused to meet with those from Pennsylvania. After some months, the rebellious members met in New Castle, organized a separate council and proceeded to select John Cann as the President of Council, and to make their own appointments. This was the first attempt of the Delaware counties to break away from Pennsylvania, and, although this controversy was settled by compromise, the method of boycotting the council was found to be effective, and was used successfully when the colonies were separated in 1705. The compromise was that no one would be appointed without their approval. This principle was later adopted as a national policy, and is in effect today in the form of the Senate's "advise and consent" on executive appointments. In 1689, Jean Forat, a Justice of the Peace, was removed from office by the Governor as a "seditious person." He filed charges against John Cann, who sat as President of the Court, indirectly charging him with being disloyal to King William. Later, in 1691, a John White filed a list of serious charges against John Cann, alleging all manner of things, such as that he was "selling justice," that he was selling drink without a license, that he was transporting tobacco out of the colony without paying customs, that he was disrespectful and contemptuous of the King's laws and his messengers, and generally not a proper person to administer the king's law. However, the Governor reaffirmed his faith in John Cann's loyalty and ability when he reappointed him to the Provincial Council after the charges had been filed and he had been involved in a minor rebellion as a leader.

Capt. John Cann was born on 14 October 1787 in Yarmouth, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada. His date of birth has also been found as 1782. In 1820 he was a Captain of the schooner Jacob and Benjamin. This ship was owned by Joseph Tooker. After taking lumber from Yarmouth to Barbados, they loaded ballast and and raw hides and sailed for home. They encountered foul weather, lost some sails, and had to cut the masts to right the ship. They were on rations and without food for 83 days until the brig "Thalia" from Liverpool, England rescued them. About 1830 he was a ship builder in Nova Scotia, Canada. He started building ships and launching them from his own property on Vancouver Street. He aquired this land from his father-in-law, Thomas Dane. Some of the first vessels built in Yarmouth were built at his shipyard, including the brig Gretian in 1832 and the brig Britannia in 1838. In 1841 he built the bark Sirion. In 1846, the Britannia and Sirion both went down, former at Sunday Point and the latter in a hurricane between Saint John and Greenock. Both crews were saved except for one man, James Sweeney of Yarmouth. In 1847 he built and named 2 brigs, the Thetis and the Thalia, from two nymphs of the sea and grand daughters of Oceanus and Terra. The Talia went down at Sunday Point in 1849. In 1854 he built two schooners, the Joan & Mary and the Antelope. In 1856 he built the ship Eleanora for Lyman E. Cann, who named it for his wife Eleanora Shaw.

John owned a large amount of property about 1844. Cann Street was named after him, and he owned most of the area.

Cann, who built a new home there in 1854. He owned John Cann & Son from 14 September 1850 to 25 July 1851 in Milton, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
