McCANN, RAWLS



W. L. McCANN was born in Jackson, Ala., in 1827.  His father was of Irish

descent, born in the "Palmetto State" in 1800, and moved to near Alabama in

1825, and after a two years' residence came to Tennessee, where he died in

1867.  The mother was born in South Carolina in 1804, and died in May,

1882.  W. L. McCANN was educated in the Eighteenth District of Lincoln

County, and in 1851 married Miss M. J. RAWLS, daughter of L. H. and Sarah

RAWLS.  She was born in Lincoln County, Tenn., November 3, 1832.  Mr.

McCANN purchased his present farm in 1872, which consists of 386 acres of

excellent farming land, well improved with good buildings and a fine

orchard.  He has been very successful, as he began business for himself

since the war with little or no means, and now owns an excellent tract of

land.  He is a Democrat, and during the late war was strongly opposed to

the principles of secession.  He belongs to the Masonic fraternity.
