I am not a direct descendant of the Cantons from the Trekanten farmstead in Gran, but
Peter J. and Karen Canton's had a daughter Annie Matilda (1903-1955) who married my
great-uncle Richard Odegard and lived in the big white house on the main drag in Watson.
Richard and Annie had three children, and there are now five of their grandchildren and
five great-grandchildren running around, still in Minnesota. Some are in Montevideo but
mostly they are in the Twin Cities region. I have done some research into their roots, and
have always intended to delve deeper there. Especially because Richard and Annie's
daughter Bonnie has been so generous with sharing family photos and other information with
me. While I do not recall ever meeting Coyla, I definitely heard the name mentioned by my
grandmother Clara Sandbo Odegard and others of her generation.
Please contact me and we can exchange more information. My data can be found at :
