Research Notes

A possible match on his father is William Fann (born circa 1776), who married "Polley" on 1 Mar 1791.^[16], but at present this is a sole source. Other reads of the document suggest Polley Long as the spouse. Given the evidence for a different mother of John, this would be an additional marriage.
