Hi, Claudia, There is a line of CANNADAYs who were in southwestern VA before the Revolution. James CANNADAY from this line fought with Gen. Nathaniel GREENE at Guilford Courthouse in March 1781. He had a large family... perhaps some went to SC?

Who was Gen. Nathaniel GREENE?? Who was he the son of? Who were his siblings? Who did he marry? I have a Greene line that I do, and this man keeps popping up but I find that I really know very little about the man. I mean it is easy to find his military information and stuff like that which seems to be so very well known, but what about the man himself. Where in the world is that stuff kept? Thanks for any leads on this.

Hi, Gail, Go online to the site for the National Archives and order a batch of forms which you can then submit to the NA for a search. If they find something on the individual, they will send you a bill, but it is very reasonable and well worth the family information you'll probably find. I say order a batch because you may want to follow up with what you find out from his military records by requesting a search for Pension or Bounty Land Warrants info in addition to his military service records. You can also ask for his wife/widow's pension application if she made one. Gen. GREENE led the men of the Appalachians down to fight against the British in NC before they marched to Yorktown and surrender. I'm sorry to say that I cannot help you with his family info for I have no connection to him other than my CANNADAY, HALE, and possibly other lines went to Guilford with him. BTW... I descend from Mary "Polly" MOORE who m. Littleberry VEST in SW VA... any bells ringing? I don't know who her parents were.
