Author: Fariss & Smith (1882)

JUDGE FERDINAND J. McCANN was a resident of Kentucky before coming to
California, and was of Irish and Spanish descent. He has always been considered
a very accomplished gentleman, and an able and popular jurist. He was educated
in Maryland, came to California in 1850, practiced law a few months in
Marysville, and in 1851 came to Downieville. At the first election, June 14,
1852, he was elected county judge, holding the office for two years, when he
resigned, and went back to Kentucky. There he married into a distinguished
family, and again came to California. From 1871 to 1873 he was in partnership,
at Marysville, with Judge Peter Van Clief. From there he went to Santa Cruz,
where he still resides. Judge McCann has always been a strong democrat in politics.
