Seems as though most of your Canby's originated from Indiana. Have you tried
posting on Indiana message boards? In early records the name Canby went by
several spellings, including Candee, Canbee, etc. Do you know if your Canby's
were Quaker's? If so, have you tried looking for Indiana Meeting houses?
I have several Samuel Canby's but none match your Samuel.
So, so many Canby's out there. Sorry I couldn't help you at this time.
Good luck on your search.

Subject: Re: [CANBY] Thomas Canby b. 1667.
It would be so nice to claim descent from these Canby's just listed in the
Canby mailing list. But, to date I have not been able to find a connection
and what doesn't help, as far back as I can trace my lineage they mainly
spelled their surname Camby and even found as Cambe. Here is what I know
about my branch, maybe someone reading this will see they too connect to
this branch, in which case, I would LOVE to hear from you and compare notes.
This is just a brief outline, I have far more then what appears here. Judi
