Yes, he mentions David Canary in the papers. David Canary played "Candy" on

I have heard this story,too, but don't know any of the details. My
grandfather said something about it years ago. Seems like I saw some
handwritten papers on this long ago, but not sure where. It had something
to do with a western star whose real name was Canary. I want to say it was
somebody like Annie Oakley, not her, but the other female western star????
Sorry, I wish I could help more.

Joseph S. Ames, a Cantey researcher, is of the opinion that "all the
widely separated branches of the family in America descend from this
single head, Tiege Cantey."
