Thanks for this list of spellings. It seems to be very complete. I think,
so far, my ancestor's name has only been spelled two ways - Canady and
Canada. By the way, if you ever hear anything about a Caleb Canady or
Canada, please let me know. He did not go to Ohio, but he did supposedly
start out in Virginia, then went South to Georgia (Putnam Co.) and then
ended up in Tallapoosa Co., Alabama. Can't find his parents, though.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: [CANADY] Surname spellings -- James & Elizabeth Canaday,
Licking Co., OH, early 1800s
Hi List:
My list of surname spellings includes:
CANADA CANNADAY KANNADY KENNADY
CANADAY CANNADY KENADA KENNEDA
CANADEY CANNDAY KENADAY KENNEDAY
CANADY CANNEDAY KENADY KENNEDEY
CANEDY CANNEDY KENEDA KENNEDY
CANIDA CANODY KENEDAY KENNETY
CANIDAY KANADA KENEDY KENNIDA
CANIDY KANADY KENNADA KINADY
CANNADA KANNADAY KENNADAY KINNIDA.
What have I missed?
And by the way, I have a JAMES CANADAY/KENNEDY born before 1775(?),
married ELIZABETH [-?-]. I have the family bible which was printed in
Philadelphia in 1839. The first entry on the "Family Record" page starts
out "James Canaday son of James & Elizabeth Canaday." To this I can now
add:
- In the 1880 census for Guernsey Co., OH, son James reported that both
of his parents were born in OH. However, in the 1880 census for Schuyler
Co., IL, Isaac (another son) reported that his father was born in VA and
his mother in PA!
- In 1806 a James Canady was a taxpayer in Licking Twp., Fairfield Co.,
OH.
- In the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Hopewell Twp., Licking Co., OH, a
James Kennedy/Kannady was head of a household.
- From 1832 to 1834 James and Elizabeth owned land in Section 3, Township
1, Range 10, of the Zanesville land district in Hopewell Twp., Licking
Co., OH.
- They probably moved to Center Twp., Morgan Co., OH, by the time of the
1840 census.
The children of James & Elizabeth included:
- ISAAC KENNEDY born 5 June 1810 in Licking Co., married ELIZABETH
(BETSY) WHEELHOUSE 3 Oct. 1833. died 29 Mar. 1883 at his residence in
Woodstock Twp., Schuyler Co., IL.
- JAMES CANADAY born 22 Aug. 1818 probably in OH, married ELIZA JANE
SCOTT 26 Aug. 1841 in Zanesville, Muskingum Co., OH, died 7 Feb. 1887 in
Cumberland, Spencer Twp., Guernsey Co., OH.
James & Elizabeth may also have had a son DANIEL KENADY born
1800-1810(?).
Does this gang ring any bells with anyone?
