Sarah Elizabeth McCann was my Great Great Grandmother, We were Told David Took the Children and left, She took Great Grandmother Mary Elizabeth to Ill., and Married Leander Tanner, My Grandmother Violet Lena Tanner was born in Elco,Alexander,Ill. I am trying to find out who the children belonged to as David Pleasant was married three times

Answer 1

Records indicate he was b. abt Apr 1853 in AL.  Sarah must have died? as in 1900 he is newly married to Mary, living with some of children by Sarah.
