Subject: [CANADY] CANADY: William (1780s-c1862) of Rockingham Co NC
Who were the parents of my William CANADY? He was born between
1781 and 1787 somewhere in Virginia. By the 1830 US Census, he resided
in eastern Rockingham Co NC; his property adjoined the county line
with Caswell Co NC. Near him lived people surnamed WALKER, BUTLER,
RICE, WARE and WATTS. William's widow's name was Elizabeth, but
I don't know her maiden surname, and I don't know if she was his only
wife or if she was the mother of all six of his children of record. She
was
born in about 1791 somewhere in North Carolina and died during the
1870s, probably in Rockingham Co NC.
William's six childen of record were these:
CANADY Absalom b c1814 NC m1 Sarah SETTLE m2 Elizabeth NUNN
CANADY Rebecca d 1840s m 1837 Elijah G. RICE
Rebecca's only known child was Wm C. RICE
CANADY Nancy d 1850s m 1837 James SAUNDERS
Nancy's children were
James W. SAUNDERS
Robert SAUNDERS
Stephen SAUNDERS
John P. S. SAUNDERS
Nancy Jane SAUNDERS and
a son named Hazzell H. SAUNDERS.
CANADY Joseph H. b c1826 NC m 1848 HUMPHREYS Catharine
CANADY Nathan b May 1828 NC d not before 1903 never married
CANADY Sarah Jane b Apr 1830 NC m 1846 Livingston COBB d not before 1903
There was a John CANADY born in about 1798 in Rockingham Co NC
who may have been this William CANADY's brother; can any of you
recognise him? He married at about Christmas week of 1828 to Elizabeth
BOSWELL, daughter of Ransom BOSWELL Jr and Elizabeth MOSS.
Elizabeth BOSWELL's sister Mary A. BOSWELL was the mother of
Livingston G. COBB, above. Two of Elizabeth and Mary A. BOSWELL's
other sisters were grandmothers of people who married descendants of
William CANADY.
I am seriously "stuck" on this Canady line; can anyone help? Thank you.
