I have VA Cannady's - they were in Culpeper, Va. My line (Meriday) moved to
KY about 1800 and then on to Ohio. His brothers stayed in Culpeper, and
Madison Va area.
First names are: Meriday/Leroy/Wharton and Thomas and sister Sarah . Before
VA I do not know where they were from - I know they were there in 1770s.
Several intermarry with the Smoot family from MD.
Linda Therkelsen: I see your John married Jane West from DE - there were
many "Wests" in Sussex, De.
Anyone else looking in Culpeper?

Subject: Canadys in Virginia
Jamie's note reminds that I have been looking for a Robert Canady
married
to Elizabeth Knott for a long time, despairing of every finding from
whence they came. I strongly suspect Virginia, too. They lived in
Nicholas County, Kentucky, and I estimate Robert born 1770-1780 (from
census), and unfortunately died before 1850. I follow the son John, born
in 1814 in Kentucky. John married Jane West, from a line that came from
Delaware, but in the lower Delmarva area that was Maryland part of the
time, and her lines are heavily Maryland-Accomack County, Virginia.
What experience have people had with Canadys from Virginia, or from
Delmarva?
Linda
