Dale, This is a long shot, but I have to ask if the Canedy name in question could possibly be Canty/Cantey. I know a lot of times names get turned around when we try to read very old handwriting. Anyway, the reason I ask is that I have been searching for my great-great grandparents, JASPER NEWTON CANTY and CAROLINE CANTY. I recently found out that he was from GA. I had been searching where he lived when I found him on the census in 1880, which was Hampton Co., SC. Ironically, right across the Savannah River from Screven Co. I thought this might be worth a shot. You can e-mail me directly at jilly0820@aol.com. Thanks! Jill
