Surname: Canaday, Shelton, Snow, Gorham, Smyth or Smith, Dial
-------------------------
I am looking for information regarding the Canaday branch who settled in
Northeastern Oklahoma and Southern Kansas. I have a Milo Canaday born about
mid 1800's possibly in Kentucky. He married Sarah Lavina Smyth/Smith and
had two or three boys before being killed as a result of a farming accident.
I am guessing this may have occurred in Tyro, Kansas as this is where my
Grandfather (Ed Lowel Canaday)was born in 1892. I don't know whether his
brothers were born before or after my Grandfather. His widow Sarah remarried
a Thomas Harvey Shelton (a doctor) about 1896 in Independence, Kansas.
Later they moved to Indian Territory reportedly so he could practice medicine
on a reservation. Any information on Milo Canaday or his parents would
be greatly appreciated.
