I did a search at Ancestry.com and found the following: The 1850 census has a household headed by Sally Canada age 36 in Dist 79, St. Clair Co., MO. With her are: Betsy Ann age 18, born AL; Lorenzo Dow age 16 born TN; Anna age 13 born AL; John Greenway age 11 born MO; Vera/Vana/Vena age 4 born MO; and Sally age 2 born MO. There are Looney households immediately before and after that of Sally Canada's. Lorenzo Canada age 26 is found in Spring River Twp., Lawrence Co., MO in the 1860 census. With him are (Wife?) Milly age 18, birthplace Unknown, and 1 year old Mary A. born in MO. I didn't find him in the 1870 census, but he may have been indexed under a different spelling that didn't come up during the search. The surname "Canada" often appears as Kennedy, Canaday, or other variations in records. In 1880 he appears to be enumerated as Dow Kannedy in Washington Twp., Cedar Co. With him are wife Hattie age 21 born in IL, and son James age 1 year. The 1890 Veterans Schedule of Washington Twp., Cedar Co., MO lists Lorenzo D. Canada who was a Private in Co C 15th MO Cavalry. He enlisted July 28, 1864; discharged June 30, 1865. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
