It is possible that this Caleb and his family are related to Edward J. "Ned" Canady, of which my Tallapoosa Connection lies. Anyone with information on this relationship or surname, please contact us.

Edward J. "Ned" Canada, said to be the son of Jesse Canada, was born about 1817. He married Snowy McBurnett on 28 September 1834 in Meriwether County, Georgia. They had moved to Tallapoosa County by 1838 when their first child was born.They lived there the remainder of their lives. Snowy died shortly after the 1870 census was taken. Edward later married Mary A. McEwen, who was born about 1838. Mary is buried north of Rockford, Coosa County, Alabama. Edward died on 17 May 1887 and is buried along with Snowy south of Dadeville, Alabama in an old cemetery just inside the entrance to Stillwaters Resort.

Shackelford later married on 13 October 1866 in Tallapoosa County to Thomas Jack Clayton, who was born about 1844, the son of Alexander and Jensie Canada Clayton.

Possible relatives of Edward J. "Ned" Canada

Mary Ann Canada born January 21, 1805 in Georgia and married Jasper Kirkham McEwen. Edward's second wife was Mary McEwen. Is there a connection between Jasper and Mary McEwen? Jasper was the son of Robert McEwen and Rachel Hawkins. This family is covered by Peggy Loos in her web site at . You can contact Peggy at PeggyLoos@aol.com. Peggy shows Mary Ann to be the daughter of Jesse and Sarah Jones Canada, thus making her a sister of Edward Canada and Sallie Canada Umphries.
