George Washington "Bennie" Canady

Please note: Other than listing the children of George Washington Canady and Mabel Chesnut (plus their basic information),
we are not actively pursuing lineage of their descendants at this time. If a descendant steps forward
with data, documentation and photos, we will add it, but we are not currently researching this line.
This basic data was added because of the connection of George's father (James Harrison Cannady) to
Amanda Melvina Bowman (Valerie's primary line of research).
