Lyndsey Canaday (1829-1920), Wayne County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Lyndsey Canaday (1829-1920), was the son of Robert Canaday and Sarah Sumner.  His marriage license to Mary Elizabeth Gibson on October 27, 1856 in Wayne County, Indiana was found in the database.  There was no return of the marriage.  Prior to this find, I did not have any potential dates for their marriage. Lyndsey's surname is also spelled Kennedy in the record.

Lyndsey was my maternal 3rd cousin 6 times removed.  Our common ancestors were John Beals and Sarah Bowater.  Lyndsey and Mary raised four children in Wayne County, Indiana.  

Wardlow Deeds Clermont County Ohio

Researching at the Genealogy Center, I located the following Wardlow family records in Clermont County Ohio Deeds and Mortgages 1791-1830 an index by Alma Aicholtz Smith, 1991.  Will be writing to the Clermont County Recorder to obtain copies of these:

1815 Wardlow, Joseph to Wardlow, Robert          Book N-12:025   289acres Life estate

1817 Wardlow, Robert to Wardlow, William decd heirs   Book P-14:140 373 5/8acres

1815 Wardlow, Robert to Wardlow, Samuel         Book M-11:379  150acres White Oak Creek

1806 Wardlow, Robert to Wardlow, John              Book F-05:211 200acres White Oak Creek

The Robert Wardlow is my ancestor, Robert Wardlaw (c1745-1820) a Revolutionary War veteran from Rockbridge County, Virginia.  He was married to Janet Downey.   The William, Samuel and John mentioned were all his children, as was Joseph, who appeared to be granting Robert land in 1815.  

Will be writing off for copies of these deeds.
