Searching for information on Elijah Canaday born 4/22/1766 in Beaufort, Carteret County North Carolina. His father Cornelius Canaday. Elijah is father to my great great grandfather David b. October 18, 1796. Thank you. ren1213@yahoo.com

Elijah Canaday Info

Cornelius was the son of Thomas Canaday according to my unverified records (see notes below). I also have a record of him having a son, Richard b. 1821. Richard had 3 sons: Henry Clay, Canellum b. 1857, and Alexander b. 1870.

My records indicate that Alexander was married twice. He had a son, named Eldridge, with his first wife (UNK). He also had a son, Harry b. 1902. with Rosabelle Robbins. I can follow that line to the present. Unfortunately, I cannot connect this branch to my own Canaday line.

Note on these records from my Database: Carol has recently come across documents seeming to indicate that Thomas Canaday was Corneilius Canaday's father. My father came across a pension approval for Thomas Canaday for service in the Revolution. There were other references to Corneilius's and Richards in the 1700's but we couldn't find anything to indicate who was who's daddy and when they were born.

Hope this helps!

Chris:

I am looking for the father and mother of Cornelius Canaday born 1734 in Carteret County, North Carolina. Cornelius and his wife Elizabeth Wade Cavanaugh had three sons: Gideon b1758, Richard b1760 and Elijah (he is my line) b1766. Just can't seem to get any earlier than 1734 for my Canadays. If you have any help you can email direct: ren1213@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Elijah was the son of Cornelius Canday & Elizabeth Wade;
Cornelius was the son of Richard Canaday & Martha Ward.
The confusion over the name of Cornelius' wife, Elizabeth Wade, is do to the fact that Elizabeth's mother, Mary Shackleford, was married 3 times.....1st to Robert Wade, 2nd to Enoch Ward, and 3rd to Ananias Cavenaugh, but Elizabeth is a daughter of the 1st marriage. Elizabeth Wade Canaday's will is found under the name Elizabeth Shepherd, as Elizabeth remarried after the death of Cornelius.

I am descended from Cornelius Canaday and Elizabeth Wade thru their son, Richard (brother to Elijah).

Surnames: CANADAY, HALL, THOMPSON
Hello, I am researching David C. CANADAY who lived in SMith Co. TN And Obion CO. TN. I believe he is the same as this one - son of Elijah of Beaufort Co. NC.

This David died 1881 in Obion Co. TN. His second wife was Emmaline HALL, daughter of Claiborne HALL of Smith Co. TN. I am researching all the HALL descendants for future publication. I know David and Emmaline had a daughter Emily Jane whom I suspect married a THOMPSON and had one daughter Melissa B. M.

Seeking contact with all persons who know anything about this couple. Very little information to go on as Emmaline died before 1848 and David remarried. Glad to share what I have.

Curious to see if you are still active on this board. We are from the same line, Cornelius and Elizabeth. And on the hunt to connect the dots to the original Canaday.

Also, I graduated from South (Axemen in the front...), so maybe we might have more to talk about.
