Message Board Post:
I read your posting and it is interesting. Can you research back and find documentation
for your postings. I descend through this line and have done extensive research on this
Cannady/Kennedy Family. I have no documentation pertaining to Indians in this particular
Cannady Family I have books of documents, Court House Records, Land Records, Census
Records, Military Records etc about this Family. I have read numerous queries on the
Inter-net about the Indian Story, but no one has submitted any documentation pertaining to
this.
The Headstones in the Moniac Cemetery were placed there a few years back and are New. They
didn't replace any old stones.
This story was created back in the 1960's and many have latched on to it, without
researching for the actual documentations. It is my understanding that the University of
Florida has completed extensive research about Chief Osceola and his Family and that his
sisters are buried in Oklahoma.
JOHN CANNADY(Son of STEPHEN CANNADY/KENNEDY) was born c. 1796 in SC according to all
Census records.
JOHN CANNADY had a son, JOHN CANNADY who was born in Bryan Co Ga. Both JOHN CANNADYS
married SARAH'S.
JOHN'S(Son) supposedly married SARAH ANN HOWELL and lived in Moniac GA. Census
records confirm this
The Father JOHN and wife SARAH lived in Florida, relocating from Bryan Co Ga. in the early
1830's. Census records comfirm JOHN born c. 1796 lived in Fla...1840-1850-1860. His
wife SARAH died in Orange Co. Fla. 1879. Records show she had been living with her son
FRANCIS MARION CANNADY, for 13 years.
Children of JOHN and SARAH CANNADY/CANADA/
ELIZABETH CANNADY, married WEST RAULERSON
MARY TANNER married JOHN TANNER
JOHN CANNADY married SARAH ANN HOWELL
HENRY CANNADY married?
WILLIAM JACKSON CANNADA
FRANCIS MARION CANADA married Margaret Albritton.
None of my documentation lists SR or JR along with the names JOHN CANNADY. Only the son,
do I find with an M for his middle initial. I also have the Indian Military Records of
JOHN CANNADY, Father of JOHN and son of STEPHEN. I also have records from Bryan Co Georgia
listing that JOHN CANNADY had relocated to Florida and he was the Heir to STEPHEN CANNADY
and his wife MARY. Also Have a Court Record with JOHN CANNADY's signature and his
sister NANCY CANNADY HARRIS.
I hope this information has helped in your research. I have documentation, if you want to
write me.
