The Cannaday's come into the picture thru Misniah, who married Samuel. Any information from Samuel to Henry would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------- Hi, Jackie, You didn't say what year your Samuel was born, but there were two Samuel Cannaday's living in Magnolia Township, Logan County, WV, in 1870. One of these Samuels was born ca 1826, and the other was born ca 1850; both were born in Virginia. There were Cannaday families living throughout southern West Virginia by mid-1800 and thereafter. When you do your search for "CANNADAY" don't forget to search also for "CANADA." That is how the West Virginia census takers spelled it initially. : ) Sue Maynor Thompson
