Hi, I am going to do my lineage backwards for you. For the past 4 generations it has been
by family knowledge, after that from info on Ancestry, and a book about the founding
fathers of Florida, where they tell about the Creek Indian connection.
I am Melisa J. Scott, my mother is Bonnie J. Steinmetz, her mother was Ada L. Miller, her
mother was Naomi J. Kennedy( child from 1st marriage, mother died soon after childbirth of
other child), her father was George Washington Kennedy, his father was James
Canaday(second name change) born 1831 in Charlton, Moniac Co., Ga. He was one son of Sir
John Milledge Canaday Sr., B: 1776 of Coleraine, Ireland. His wife's name was Sari
Missouri Powell and he was given the Creek name Ossio Yahalta. His son's besides James
were John Milledge Canaday Jr.,B:05/15/1827 in Charlton also. His wife was the Sarah Ann
Howell. They also had a son they named John M. Canaday. Another son of John Sr. and Sari
was John Douglas Bemo Canaday, who I have no other info on. John Sr.'s father is Henry
Canady(maybe original name) also of Coleraine, Ireland.
I live in Germany now, and plan to make a trip to Ireland soon. If you get on
MapQuest.com, you can see about Coleraine.
Any other info would be great. Thank You.
