Louis, You are too kind. Thank you, but this was just a fluke. You guys were all out there waiting for somebody to stir the pot, and I just happened to have the biggest stick (read: mouth)! Just RE-read your posting re: the Canadys that live in Oklahoma. Where in Okla? I went to school with a girl named Ann Canada who still lives here. Her folks were from the same little town as my Mabry grandparents, and her grandparents and great grandparents are buried in the same little cemetery (which I just surveyed) as mine. They are W.C. Canada, b. 1844, d. 1924, wife Frances, b. 1841, no year of death; and John P. Canada, 1870-1937, wife Sarah E. 1875-1940. The stones were placed some time in the 1950s and I believe the family originally spelled the name Canady. Karen
