  We know very little of this side as Annie McCanney/McKenna Hughes died young.  We only have two pictures: one of Annie as a teen and Mr. and Mrs. Francis (Sarah 'Sally' McGuigan) McCanney/McKenna.  It seems as theough the family was know as McCanney in Ireland and in the US as McKenna - may have to do with accents and or lack of ability to spell.

  Any information would be greatly appreciated - Mike
