John Wesley Canady

Home

parents:  James Harrison Cannady and Amanda Gee

Please note: Other than listing the children of John Wesley Canady and Lettie Merle Boyd (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 John's father (James Harrison Cannady) to Amanda Melvina Bowman (Valerie's primary line of research).
