Do you have a John Franklin Canady who had several children among your stacks of paper??
His Children who he deserted are, Guy John Canady, William Canady, Gerald Canady, Pearl
Canady. There were more, but I don't have the paper right in front of me. John F was
born in Kansas or Iowa. His children were born in Washington and he was married to Ida
Mae Davis .I was told Ida was born on a wagon train headed for Oregon.> From:
