The Indian Blood on the Raulerson family is not Cherokee. They have Saponi and Catawba Indian blood. I descend down from John Rawlinson/Raulerson, then Jacob Raulerson, then David May Raulerson and then Mary Isabelle Raulerson my Grt Grandmother. I've done extensive research on the Non-White Ancestry of the Raulerson family. Majority of my Daddy's side of the family are buried in the Old Raulerson cemetery in Pierce County, GA on the Little Satilla River.

No, I'm sorry but I have no Georgia information. My family is what we call Swamp Yankee...:) They came over from Europe in the 1600s to New England and never left!!!

Re: Andrew Kennedy Jr 1729

hyhands1 — 2012-05-06 19:17:40Z

Hello. I do not have anything on your Andrew Kennedy, however I am wondering if you might help me with an Andrew Kennedy, son of a John Kennedy, and Andrew's son John Kennedy. Do you happen to have any information on these men who were in what became Columbia County, Georgia? The father John has land 3 miles above Fort Augusta, Colonial Georgia. Since this does not specifically answer your question, you may contact me at hyhands@charter.net. Thank you for your time.

Andrew Kennedy Jr 1729

megreid2 — 2012-05-06 03:30:37Z

Looking for info on my 9th great grandfather, Andrew Kennedy Jr. I have much on him... but have yet to find anything on his parents. I have seen people write that his father is Navy Captain Andrew Kennedy b. @1703 but have never seen documentation. This Kennedy line is Massachusetts based, sometimes written Canaday. Andrew Jr was married to Amee Wentworth.

My connection is... Andrew Jr, Benjamin, Benjamin Jr, Keilah, Keilah Jr, Walter, Gladys, Miriam Hurd, Ann Burke, me.

Hello, cousin. You're much farther along than I am. Would you want to email me directly at prewitt.mac@gmail.com and we can compare notes?

Re: Thomas Canady or Kennedy

marchingcello — 2012-04-10 15:47:24Z

Likewise, I'm from James and Clara Andis, as follows:

James Issaac and Clara Andis Cannady
Paul Victor and Anna Bernice Cannady Walker
Robert Gene and Clara Margaret Walker Fearrin
Then, of course I too am a Clara

There is a mention in David Quinn's testimony for Revolutionary War pension that he was with Thomas Canady and his brother. The translation seems to note a Will? William? Willet? There is a Willet from the county but not with a brother Thomas. There were brothers Thomas and William born to Richard and Martha Canaday, however they are one generation too old (Th = 1720, Will=1718). Perhaps our Thomas comes from one of them or their brothers (Edward, Cornelius, Enoch)?

Then again, maybe you've looked into this already.

Re: Thomas Canady or Kennedy

May1953 — 2012-04-06 12:54:45Z

I have nothing new on this line. However, I did want to introduce myself to you and other researchers. I am the great-great granddaughter of James Harrison and Amanda Bowman Cannady/Canady, etc. My research and source material is posted on Val's site (as you mentioned, http://andis.azboman.net/index.html). From Harrison, my line is:

James Isaac and Clara Andis Cannady
Calvin Laverne and Hildred Waggoner Cannady
John Lee and Margaret Cannady Duckworth

Re: Thomas Canady or Kennedy

marchingcello1 — 2012-04-05 23:30:14Z

Also looking into Thomas Canady (Canada, Kennady, Kenneday) b. 1763 Duplin Co, NC m. Sarah? /m.2 Nancy Bishop. There is mention of Joseph and Joseph Sr in the 1784-1786 state census..perhaps he's the second son of Joseph Sr? Not sure if you've found anything new in the last 6 years..

To note my lineage from there:
Thomas (Sarah ?) Canady b1763-d1851
Daniel (Fannie ?) Canady b1794-d1850s?
James Harrison (Amanda Bowman) Canady b1844-d1930

He had Lucy Charlotte Canada who had James Jackson Farless I who had James Farless II who had Gregory Farless. Greg is my dad. James I is from orange county fl but I grew up in nearby Seminole county.

Betty Mae Canaday

maryjanecanaday — 2011-02-27 18:35:06Z

looking for info on Betty born in 1930s father was John Verl Canaday, mother unknown, lived in Gary, Indiana. Father died in 1943 in Trinidad may have been divorced. John Verl was the son of Charles Allen and Margaret Nevada
Hardway Canaday. Uncles of Betty were Ralph, Roy, Frank,
Charles and Tracey Canaday. Copy of death certificate of John Verl was sent to Washington St, Gary, Indiana Aug/1943 to Miss Betty Mae Canaday.

Canaday Family in New Castle, Indiana

BillPutman — 2011-02-21 22:43:18Z

Haven't work on this line but have some info.

A guy out there found a huge monument dead center in the local cemetery. Looks like the Lincoln Memorial.

Anyway, it is the family of Miles Canaday. This is all I really have on him:

Miles Murphy Canaday was born August 17, 1851. He married Sarah Hellena Smith on May 10, 1883. They lived in New Castle, Indiana.

He was a son of Nathan Canaday:

NATHAN CANADAY (note spelling) was born April 9, 1807. He married Nancy Leason on April 23, 1824. She was a daughter of James and Jemima Leeson. She was born in 1808. Nancy was not a member of the Quaker Church and so Nathan was disowned. The family joined the Christian Church in Richmond, Indiana. He then moved his family to what was called the Harvey Settlement in Prairie Township, Henry County Indiana. He was a physician. Nathan died May 25, 1874. Nancy lived on for another year and died in 1875. They had ten children:

So, would be interested in adding the next generation or so to that sheet. Anyone connected???

You can see what I have on the various Canaday lines on my website at www.BillPutman.com then go to genealogy to Canaday to Charles Canady.

Somehow think he may have done DNA stuff.

Not on your immediate line though. Have fun

You still active in the message boards? Have DNA testing in and boy are we confused. One thing I know, we are in the R group. So is the rest of the world. Would have been easier to be a part of the I group, the Viking-infused Canadays... Any enlightenment you can give us as we sift through this data would be appreciated!

Re: Kennedy and Canaday

cookiemom1213 — 2011-02-06 20:59:46Z

That's our dilemma right now. My father always said we were Scottish English. I have a Scottish friend who says a Scotsman wouldn't be caught dead being referred to as English and the Irish Kennedys are so closely tied to Scotland, it's hard to figure out where our closest Canaday ties are. In the beginning, it was all the same. Male cousin has just had DNA testing and we are trying to decifer the results as I type this.

Charles D Canaday

maryjanecanaday — 2011-01-09 22:02:22Z

looking for info for Charles born 1899 in Clark Co. Illinois son of Charles Allen and Nevada Hardway Canaday.
Believe he married Irene Nelson/Helson in Indiana. Found a Charles and Irene in 1920 Texas census. He died sometime before 1937 do not know when or where. Had 5 brothers, Ralph, Roy, Francis, John Verl and Tracy.

Canaday daughter

maryjanecanaday — 2011-01-09 21:56:22Z

looking for information on a Betty Mae Canaday, birthdate and mother unknown. She may have been born around 1935 perhaps in Gary, Indiana. Father was John Verl Canaday, born 1905 Clark Co. Illinois. He died at age 38 1943 in Trinidad. His death certificate mentioned Betty but no wife, believe he was divorced. Have not been able to find marriage license or divorce records.

Re: CANADAY

CarltonCanaday38 — 2010-10-03 17:58:26Z

Hi,
I've started a reply several time but keep getting it deleted before I finish. So I will be brief. My father was born in 1904 in Harrison County, Missouri. He told me that he can remember his grandfather, Christopher Canaday, born in 1843 in McLean County, Illinois, talking about wearing of the Orange. This has meant to me that the Canadays were Irish Protestants. I can't prove this but I thought I would mention it.

Re: CANADAY

crabapple303 — 2010-09-18 01:39:43Z

I know, my dilemma too. It took me a while to get that Canaday was Kennedy. We're so used to Kennedy only being Irish, that's why I got on the Ireland track for awhile. I got over that Irish bend after I went to my first Scottish festival and saw so many people there with faces similar to mine (never seemed to feel connected with the look of my Irish friends). There is a Scottish Kennedy tartan as well. Our Canaday line were coopers (or hoopers) and there is some reference from one of my line, Elijah, to the trees in North Carolina being suited for ship building. Although we stuck to barrel-making in North Carolina. Barrels held produce, which is why it was okay for us to marry the rich farmers' daughters. Big group of Canadays in North Carolina (not coincidently where a great many Scots migrated to). Our line along the coast, the "Crystal Coast."

Re: CANADAY

jackigop — 2010-09-17 23:49:57Z

Hey, we are related then!!! Elwyn, in the other post, gave me the link for the Ireland census and there are no Cannadays (or variants)...I'm not sure if Scotland has that variation. What I believe happened is that when they got over here, because of their accent, whomever wrote their name down wrote Canaday (or a variation) instead of Kennedy. The problem with that is that Kennedy's are in Ireland and Scotland so it doesn't really help much.

Elwyn,
Thanks for the info and the link.

Re: CANADAY

crabapple303 — 2010-09-17 13:12:35Z

Then you are in my line! Somewhere. I started researching back in 2000 (starting only with my father's, grandfather's and great grandfather's birthdates). Trial and error led me in and out of different lines but finally was able to have a clear picture of my Canadays from the colonies to modern times. One thing I discovered, in earlier days, my line kept repeating the male and female given names (Cornelius is a repeat in my direct line). That's pretty much how I was able to keep the lines accurate. I wasn't convinced we were Irish but thought we were Scottish/English (my father always said so). Last year at our local Scottish festival I found out that it is Scottish tradition to name your children just as I had found during my research! Eureka! Because I am a history buff, I thought that Canaday zero might have been part of the Ulster Irish, fleeing from Scotland, but I am finding no Canadays in Ireland either. So, back to the Scotland and to the England trail...

Re: CANADAY

elwynsoutter1 — 2010-09-17 11:57:08Z

Chuck,

Now it doesn't have any of those either. You can have a look yourself. Its free.

www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/?then

There are no earlier surviving censuses in Ireland prior to 1901, in case you wonder why I used that census.

Elwyn

Re: CANADAY

jackigop — 2010-09-17 11:38:23Z

Elwyn,
Thanks. Do you know if the census had any variations of the spelling (i.e. Cannaday, Cannady, or Canady)? Thanks for your help.

Chuck

Re: CANADAY

jackigop — 2010-09-17 11:37:02Z

I'm not a Canaday but a descendant (I believe) of Cornelius (b. ?), William (b. btw 1645-1655), John (b.~1680), and Charles (b. 1715 in Prince George Cty VA/MD).

Re: CANADAY

elwynsoutter1 — 2010-09-17 10:47:31Z

The 1901 census for Ireland doesn't have a single entry in it for CANADAY. So probably not of Irish origin, I'd say.

Elwyn

Re: CANADAY

crabapple303 — 2010-09-17 01:21:11Z

No. At a dead-end. William Canaday looks to be our original and the only other information I've been able to get is that he was born in England and came to the colonies from there. But I'm pretty confident that our Canadays didn't originate from England. Just a gut feeling.

I try every now and again to look for records on ancestry but they are limited in info for our line.

Are you a Canaday?
