Jennifer,
Thanks for responding to my query.
I really do not know very much about this Kanady/White family.I only recently started this search for Sarah Jane White Kanady. I am trying to find for sure who her parents were.
I have a James White line and I think this Sarah Jane might be his sister.Let me tell you how I came to post to this forum and also Gallatin Co., Illinois forum.
I read old newspapers on microfilm and I came across an ad from a lady in Shawneetown, Illinois who had placed an ad in the Pulaski Citizen, Pulaski, Tennessee April 29, 1915 looking for her siblings.Pulaski is in Giles Co., TN.This is the ad:
Pulaski Citizen, April 29, 1915
Information Wanted
"An old lady whose maiden name was Sarah White, married a man named Kanady and moved away from Giles County about sixty years ago.She now lives near Shawneetown, Ill. and would like to get in touch with her people.The White family lived in the country between Lynnville and Campbellsville.There were two brothers, James and William, and one other sister, Nancy, who married a man named Keltner.If any of the family is living or if any one else can give information about this family he will give pleasure to an old lady who would like to hear from her people again.Address the editor of the Citizen or George Hanion, Shawneetown, Ill."
I found this most interesting, as I have a James White line.I was hoping to find out who the parents of this SArah White Kanady were and if my James was her brother.
I do believe that Sarah Jane White's husband was Mathew G. Kanady. In the 1860 Pope Co., Ill census he is listed as Matthew G. Canady and in the 1870 Gallatin Co., Ill. census he is listed as G.M. Kenedy.He must died between 1874 and 1880, as he doesn't appear in the 1880 census with SArah.The youngest child is Fannie age 5 in 1880.
I have found a Matthew Kenedy in the 1850 Giles Co., TN. census age 16 in the Lakes Kenedy household.There is a Sarah Jane White age 12 in the household of a Reubin and Jane White only a few households away.I suspect that this SArah is the same Sarah Jane White Kanady that is in Illinois.However, don't know this for sure.
I was hoping to find descendants of this Sarah Jane White Kanady with the hope they could tell me her parents names and about her brother James White.Trying to determine if Reubin and Jane White are his parents.
This is really all I know about the Kanady's and White's.But I do think that Greene's father was Matthew G. Kanady/Kenedy/Canady.
Sarah Jane White Kanady was still living in 1920 in Gallatin Co., Il living with her daughter Adaline and her husband John W. Davis.I just wonder if she ever heard from any of her family.She would have been about 83 years old in 1920.Believe she died between 1920-1930.
Hope this helps you and if you ever come across any info about them, let me know.
