Subj: More SANDIDGE info from LDS June 18, 1998 message Date: 98-07-19 17:38:00 EDT From: janie@discoverynet.com (carolyn s jackson) To: RASANDIDGE@aol.com I'm new to the mailing list (how many times have you heard that???) I just finished about 2 hours worth of study on the Sandige archives - delightful afternoon. The subject message had a couple of my tie-in ancestors, so thought I would share what I know. William Sandage b: Nov. 8, 1835, Father: Moses Sandage, Tobin Twp., Perry, In and Mother: Sarah Harding. William Canidy Sandage b: May 11, 1813. Father: Thomas Sandage. Mother: Nancy Simonson. Moses Sandage (born 1805) and William Canidy Sandage (born 1813) are brothers and the children of Thomas Sandage (1776) and Nancy Simonson Sandage (ca1780). Thomas Sandage (1776) is a son of Nathan Sandige and Mary Canady/Kennedy. I wonder if the William "Canidy" Sandage got his middle name from his grandmother's maiden name??? The best I can piece together from reading the past messages is that Nathan Sandidge b: about 1754 (married Mary Canady/Kennedy) is the son of Thomas Sandage b: 1691 (wife Frances Chappell) however, I'm confused on the dates. If Thomas and Frances married in 1712 and we assume they are about 20 years of age and Nathan is born about 1754, doesn't that make his parents TOO OLD?? Nathan must have been born much earlier? Does anyone know? Nathan and Mary Canady Sandage: The only confirmed dates I have for them is that he died between 1800 and 1819 and that one of three known sons, Thomas above, was born in 1776. I think we have assumed Nathan's age based on Thomas 1776 birth but evidently Nathan and Mary had earlier children and that Thomas (1776) was a late in marriage baby???? Another subject: Your November 1997 message re Marriages in England from LDS Library, you mentioned information on the "Manor of Sandridge" and "The Ancient Town and Port of Sandwich". I'm interested in copies. Do you know how many states are represented in this mailing list? Thanks - hoping to hear from more Sandwich/Sandridge/Sandige/Sandage.
