These are the two Census records I found Catherine Ruth CANAAN's Family
On.She Married Charles W. PRETTYMAN on the
16 day of September 1869 I Have
just received her Marriage License it was issued on 16 Sep. 1869 Knox, Starke,
IN.
It was filed on the 25 Sep. 1869. The important thing is the speeling of
her name. It was speeled in two places
CANAAN. That should solve our Mystery
so now we know this is her Family of C! ANAAN's. Unfortuneately the Applications
were burnt in a fire, so only the License survived. Also Found Marriage
license for James CANAAN Married Matilda FRY
10 June 1860, Knox, Starke, IN.
Ruth CANAAN Married 2 Sep. 1860 to Harvey C. GREEN,Knox, Starke, IN. Sarah Ellen
CANAAN
Married 6 Jan. 1869 to William H. STEVENSON, Knox, Starke, IN. I
Wounder what happened to Miranda CANAAN shown in 1850 Census ?
Hope This
helps. Have any of you found Catherine Ruth CANAAN's Date of death and Place so
I can order an Obit for Her ?
ENJOY THE QUEST !
