I am seeking info on the parents and siblings of Benjamin Franklin
Canaday. He was born April 1830 in Indiana. The 1880 Hopkins
Co. Kentucky Census states that his father was born in Missouri
and his mother in Kentucky. He married Sarah Ellen Woodson 3
Feb 1861 in Hopkins Co. KY. He died before May 1906 in Hopkins
Co when a judgement in the county court was against Ellen
Kenneday, widow and listed all his children and some
grandchildren. Their children are: Teresia Canaday b 1862 KY
married John W. Oliver 27 Sep 1879 in Hopkins Co.; Mirretta
Pernetta Canaday b 11 May 1864 in Henson, Hopkins Co. m Oliver
Francis Oldham 15 Sep 1881 in Hopkins Co. she died 29 Feb
1948 in Providence, Webster Co. KY and is buried in the Nebo
Cemetery in Hopkins Co.; Mary Bell Canaday b 11 Dec 1866 in KY
married Virgil Gresham Fields 15 Nov 1883 in Hopkins Co. and
died in 1936 in Texas; Francis L. Canaday (Female) born 1871 KY.
Sarah Ellen Woodson was previously married to Thomas Woodson
26 Aug 1847 in Hopkins Co. (she was daughter of Hughes
Woodson and Sarah Winfreo, it's confusing a Woodson married to
a Woodson) They had 3 children: Lutetia b 1849 KY, Napoleon b
1853 KY and Josephine b 1855 KY.
Benjamin and Sarah Ellen Woodson Canaday are on the 1870,
1880, and 1900 Hopkins Co. KY censuses. In 1910 Napoleon is
enumerated alone, Sarah has apparently died by 1910.
I would appreciate any information on these families.
