I think you need to check the book entitled "Southern Underwoods & Martins."
The author, Billie Redding Lewis has a great deal of information on this family. It has
been projected that the progenator of your Canaday family might have been a William, who
was found in Somerset, Maryland in 1666. Further, it is believed that this William had
two sons, John and Roger. John was born in Somerset County, Maryland @ 1680. The
following are listed as the children of John: John Jr. (b. 1707, married Margaret
Summers), Jane (b. 1714), Charles (b. 1715, married Phoebe Beales 1740), Mary (b. 1716,
married John Vain) and Daniel (b. 1718, married Mary Vinton). If you cannot find the book
send me your email and I will answer any questions you might have. I would also reccomend
looking for a Bill Putman. He is an expert researcher on the Underwoods and Alied
Families.
