Hi
Out of curiosity, looked up Henry and Madison in censuses and got a better picture. Here
is my 'latest'
HENRY CANADAY was born May 19, 1806 in North Carolina. He married Drucilla Hussey at the
East Fork Meeting House in Highland County, Ohio. Drucilla and her three children: William
Riley, Madison and Nathan were taken in to the Falls Creek meeting also in Highland County
in 1838. I don't know where Henry was then. In 1850 he is in Baltimore, Henry County
Missouri with a new wife Mary who had previously been married to a Prouty. They had a
bunch of Canada and Prouty kids (see below) that indicate they had only been married a
short while. Also there was Fanny Linings 58 NC who was probably Mary's mommy. In 1860
he is in Umpqua Oregon with his wife Mary born in Illinois in 1820. At that time he was a
blacksmith and living next door were his sons Madison (also a blacksmith), William Riley,
Joshua and John. Everyone spelled their names as CANADA as they did in 1850. In 1870 he
and Mary are in Eugene, Lane County Oregon where he is a street sprinkler 64 NC and Mary
49 IL. He spells!
his name Canaday then. Here are the kids in the 1850 Missouri Census:
William R. Canada 21 OH
Madison Canada 19 OH. He is married to a Sarah and is a Physician in Eugene
Oregon. He is listed as Mad. Canaday and they have 3 kids. In 1880 he is in Spencer Creek,
Lane County Oregon with a wife named Sarah 36 MO and they have Walter 19 OR, Henry 17 OR,
Lizzie 14 OR and Emma 8 OR. Madison is a Physician at the time, and spells his name
Canaday still. They are in Elmira, Lane County in 1900 where he is still a physician at
age 68 OH.
Nathan Canada 17 OH
Joshua Canada 13 IL
John Canada 11 IL
Emily Canada 7 IA
Louisa Canada 5 IA
Sarah J. Prouty 11 MO
Mary A. Prouty 10 MO
Ellen Prouty 8 MO
