Notes for John Beals:
Charles Canaday was undoubtedly not the original American emigrant. There is just too strong a body of evidence of an existing family going well back into the 1600s in this area.

Charles was born about 1715 or 1716 most likely in Kent County, Maryland. He is found living in Prince George County, Maryland, just below the Pennsylvania border , accrss the Bay, in the 1730's. It was here that he met and married Phoebe Beals in 1740.
Phoebe was a daughter of John Beals and Sarah Bowater Beals. She was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1720.

Charles and Phoebe Canaday had their first child, John Canaday on April 5, 1741 while still living in Prince George County, Maryland. They had their second child, Charles, a few years later on November 4, 1744 after moving to Fairfax County in northern Virginia. This area was still mostly wilderness at the time, and problems with the Indians were common. It was in the Indian wars of Virginia that Charles Canaday was killed sometime in 1745. He is buried somewhere in what is now Loudoun County, Virginia.

Phoebe remarried the following year, 1746, to Robert Sumner.

22. Phoebe17 Beals (John16, Mary15 Clayton, William14, Thomas13, William12, Thomas11, John10, Robert9 De Clayton, Thomas8, John7, Thomas6, John5, John4, John3, Ralph2, John1) was born Abt. 1719 in Chester, PA, and died August 19, 1805 in Surry co.,NC. She married (1) Charles Canaday 1740 in MD. He was born Abt. 1715 in Kent Co.,MD, and died 1745 in New London County, VA or Loundoun Co., VA. She married (2) Robert Sumner 1746. He died December 01, 1779 in Guilford, NC.

Notes for Phoebe Beals:
Phoebe remarried the year after Charles Canaday's death, 1746, to Robert Sumner (Summer). Robert was not a Quaker at the time, so the marriage was 'out of unity'. Pheobe was disowned at a meeting September 29, 1746. The marrige probably took place a month or so earlier. In 1749 Robert became a member of the Quaker faith, and the family was received and restored to membership in the Fairfax (Loudoun County) Virginia Monthly Meeting.

In 1751, the family moved to Council, Bladen County, North Carolina. They were members of the Carver's Creek Monthly meeting in Bladen County (now part of New Hanover County) in February of 1751, the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County in July of 1751, and finally the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford County in 1754.

Phoebe and Robert Sumner remained in what is now Guilford County (was part of Rowan County at the time) in North Carolina. They had ten more children whose birth dates are recorded in the minutes of the New Garden Monthly Meeting.

After Robert's death, she probably moved in to live with one of her children, but that is not certain.

There is a Canaday family tradition that this unknown Canaday ancester came from County Garlow, Ireland and that our emigrant ancestor was named Charles.

It is also a Canaday Family tradition that there is Indian blood in the Canaday line.

Charles Canaday may have been the original American emigrant, or he may have come with his parents. If he came alone, it would have been in the late 1720's or early 1730's. If he came with his parents, it would have been somewhat earlier. Bill Putnam tends to feel Charle's parents arrived in Philadelphia in the late 1600's, and that he was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, but he is not sure.

He is found living in Prince George County, Maryland, just below the Pennsylvania border , across the Bay, in the 1730's. It was here that he met and married Phoebe Beals in 1740. Phoebe was a daughter of John Beals and Sarah Bowater Beals. She was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1720.
Charles and Phoebe Canaday had their first child, John Canaday on April 5, 1741 while still living in Prince George County, Maryland. They had their second child, Charles, a few years later on November 4, 1744 after moving to Fairfax County in northern Virginia.

They moved to Fairfax County in northern Virginia sometime between 1740 and 1744. The area was still mostly wilderness at the time, and problems with the Indians were common. It was in the Indian wars of Virginia that Charles was killed sometime in 1745.

Phoebe remarried the following year, 1746, to Robert Sumner.

John18 Canaday (Phoebe17 Beals, John16, Mary15 Clayton, William14, Thomas13, William12, Thomas11, John10, Robert9 De Clayton, Thomas8, John7, Thomas6, John5, John4, John3, Ralph2, John1) was born April 05, 1741 in Prince George Co.,MD, and died March 02, 1830 in Indianna. He married Margaret Thornburgh April 10, 1764 in New Garden, NC, daughter of Walter Thornburgh and Margaret Beeson. She was born 1744 in Probably, Lancaster, PA, and died March 12, 1819 in Economy, IN.

Notes for John Canaday:
(*) John CANADAY was the eldest child of Charles and Phoebe Canaday. He was born on Apr 5 1741 in Prince George County, Maryland.He moved with his family first to northen Virgina, and then , after his his father died and his mother remarried, they moved to North Carolina and settled near Jamestown in what is now part of Guilford County, but was included Rowan County at that time.
He died on Mar 2 1830. He was buried in West Grove meeting house burial ground in Wayne County, Indiana.

By 1754, John lived with his family in Deep River and belonged to the New Garden Quaker group. Here he met and married Margaret Thornburgh on Apr 10 1764. The daughter of Walter and Margaret Thornburgh. She was born in 1744 probably in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Her parents were Irish Quakers, coming from County Armagh in northern Ireland.

John farmed the lands near Deep River. He and Margaret remained in the area for the next thirty-two years and raised their seven children there. By the mid 1790's after the American Revolution, the great westard migration had begun, Western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee were begin opened to settlement. A great many Quakers and others from North Carolina headed to the new lands in the West. John and Margaret and their children joined the movement.

On October 29, 1797, John and Margaret Canaday were given their certificates to leave the new Garden Meeting and go to the new New Hope Meeting in Greene County, Tennessee. As they moved westward, probably by wagon, they decided to press even further into Tennessee and settled in Jefferson County. They were received by the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting on June 17, 1797. At the same time their sons John, Robert and Bowater and their families, and their daughter, Phoebe, who had married Mordecai Mendenhall were received. The others sons arrived later, Charles in October of 1799, Walter came much later in July 1804.

By the first decade of the Nineteenth Century, the Tennessee Quakers began to move north to the fertile lands of the Mid West. Up to about 1810, the migration was to the southern Ohio area, during the next ten years, Indiana was the favorite destination. Lower Indiana territory was opened up to white settlement in 1805 and land was sold at .00 an acre.
In 1807, Walter and his famly went to Ohio. In 1815 and 1816, Robert, Charles and Bowater (Boater) took their famil;ies to the White Water Meeting area in Indiana. In November 1816, John and Margaret themselves went to join their children in the northwest corner of Wayne County, Indiana. In 1817, the other two children John and Phoebe (Mendenhall) joined them.

The whole Canaday clan settled near the town of Economy as did a number of other "Tennessee Quakers". Originally they joined the Whitewater Meeting and then it became the New Garden Meeting. However, there were so many in the area of Economy, Indiana that they established their own monthly meeting in 1820 called the Springfield Meeting. John continued to be a Quaker teacher here in Economy.

John and Margaret remained in Wayne County for the remainder of their lives.
Margaret died there on March 12,1819. John lived until March 2, 1830. He died at the age of 88 years 10 months and 26 Days. He is Buried in the West Grove meeting house burial ground in Wayne County, Indiana.

Notes for Phoebe Canaday:
Phoebe was the eldest child. She was born on January 10, 1765. She married Mordecai Mendenhall in Guilford County on December 16, 1789. Mordecai was the son of Stephen and Sarah Mendenhall. He was born March 5, 1762.

They remained in Guilford County, North Carolina and here their first three children, Hannah, Susannah and Robert were born. On June 17, 1797 the family was received In the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee. They moved from the New Garden Meeting and, like the Canadays, were headed for the New Hope Meeting, but went to Lost Creek instead. They remained in Tennessee until late 1803. The next three children, Aaron, Stephen and John were born in Jefferson County.

On March 29, 1817, the family was granted certificates to move to the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Ohio. I believe the family remained in Ohio.

33 ii. Henry Canaday, born June 29, 1766 in New Garden, Rowan or Guilford Co., NC; died December 24, 1837 in Vermillion co.,IL. He married Matilda Barnard 1797 in NC.

Notes for Henry Canaday:
One of the earliest, if not the first, Quaker colony in Illinois was established at what is now Vermilion Grove, a village in Elwood township in the southeast corner of the county. This settlement was stared in 1821 with the arrival of John Haworth, a zealous member of the sociey of Friends. Soon he was joined by his uncle, George Haworth, also a devout Quaker and by Henry Canaday, another active member of the same faith. It was these men who provided a firm foundation for the Society of Friends in Elwood Township. The township was named after Thomas Elwood, noted English writer and authority on the Quaker Faith. Henry Canaday help found the first school in the County in the Winter of 1824-25. He was a farmer, blacksmith, tanner and saddle maker. The area became the town of Vermillion Grove some two miles north of the present Ridge Farm, IL.

Henry Canaday was the eldest son of John and Margaret Thornburgh Canaday. He was born in Rowan County (the portion that is now Guilford County), North Carolina on June 29, 1766. He grew up in North Carolina, and there he met and married Matilda Barnard, a daughter of Benjamin Barnard and Eunice Fitch.
Matilda was born on July 3, 1769 on Nantucket Island off the Massachusetts shore. Her family were whalers. I do not have a record of their marriage. Their first child, Benjamin, was born in September of 1797 so I assume they were married sometime in late 1796, but it might have been earlier. The minutes of the New Garden Monthly Meeting cite Henry as being condemned for his marriage out of unity on March 25, 1797.

Matilda was later, October 27, 1798, received by New Garden on a certificate from the Center Monthly Meeting.

On January 26, 1799, Henry and Matilda were granted their certificates to transfer to the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting. They travelled to Jefferson County, Tennessee to join his parents and others of his family and arrived there in the Spring of 1799. Henry, Matilda and their young son, Benjamin, were received on April 20th at the Lost Creek Meeting.

They settled in East Tennessee and became very active in the church. Henry was chosen an overseer in 1805 and 1813 and Matilda was chosen in 1808. They remained in Jefferson County and between 1799 and 1809 the remaining five children were born. On March 25, 1820, the family was granted certificates to move to the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Indiana.

The family arrived in Wayne County, Indiana during the Spring of 1820 and joined other members of their family who had come to settle near Economy, Indiana earlier. During the fall of 1820, two of Henry's sons, William and Frederick, went over into east central Illinois along the Wabash River and the Indiana border. Illinois had become a state in 1818, and the area to which the Canaday boys went was unorganized territory that later was to become Vermilion County.

They built a log house in the south east corner of the county near the present town of Vermilion Grove. This was the only house anywhere in the area. By winter, the two boys returned to Indiana to rejoin their parents. In the spring of 1821, the entire family along with the family of John Haworth moved to Vermilion Grove, Illinois to live.

They farmed the land with oxen they had brought with them. The following year, Henry Canaday and George Haworth established a Friends (Quaker) Meeting House in Vermilion Grove. They also help found the first school in the County in the Winter of 1824-25.

Henry was both a farmer and a blacksmith, tanner and saddle maker. These were trades that his son William was to follow. Although the Canadays and the Haworths were the first settlers, others came and eventually the area became the town of Vermilion Grove some two miles north of the present Ridge Farm, Illinois.

Henry and Matilda remained in Vermilion Grove for the rest of their lives. They were active in the Church and in the formation of the school that was to become Vermilion Academy.

Henry Canaday died on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1837. He had written his will on June 20, 1837. Matilda died a month after her husband on January 26, 1838. Henry Canaday's Will is on file at the Vermilion County Courthouse in Book B, Page 492.

Notes for Charles Canaday:
Charles Canaday was born in Guilford County, North Carolina on April 18, 1770. While in North Carolina, he married Sarah Russell. Sarah was a daughter of Habbakuk and Ann Russell. Sarah was born on February 4, 1776. They were married on April 24, 1794 in a civil rather than in a Quaker ceremony. In the minutes of the New Garden Meeting, he was dismissed for marrying out of unity on November 29, 1794. Although I cannot find a record, I assume he was reinstated as later records include both him and Sarah. They were probably remarried in the Quaker traditions.

The family went to Tennessee shortly after his parents went there. Charles was received on a certificate from New Garden at the new Lost Creek Meeting in Tennessee on October 21, 1797. Sarah was received there by request on April 18, 1801 as were their minor children. Although they attended the Meetings in Jefferson County, it appears they lived further west near Knoxville in Knox County, Tennessee, as most of the children were born there. He was a farmer and a cooper.

On February 25, 1815 the family was granted certificates to go to the White Water Meeting in Wayne County, Indiana. They arrived and were received on June 24, 1815. Charles, Sarah, Nathan, Charles Jr., Margaret, Mary, Phoebe, Sarah, Charity and Matilda were also received at that time.

The deaths of both Charles and Sarah are recorded in the minutes of the West Grove Meeting in Wayne County. They remained in Richmond Township there with his father. Sarah died on March 14, 1850 and Charles died a year later on May 20, 1851. His will was probated in Wayne County on June 4, 1851. It listed all his children, and they were given equal portions of his estate.

36 v. Walter Canaday, born December 19, 1771 in New Garden, Rowan or Guilford Co., NC. He married Nancy Ann Canaday.

Notes for Walter Canaday:
Walter was born on December 19, 1771. He married while in North Carolina. His wife's name was Nancy or Nancy Ann, but I do not know her last name nor when they were married. There is a notation in the New Garden minutes that on September 27, 1797, Walter was disciplined, perhaps as a result of marrying out of unity. I do not know. On November 26, 1803, he was granted a certificate (not including any family) to move to the Lost Creek Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee.

Walter was received in the Lost Creek meeting on July 28, 1804. On January 25, 1806, Ann Canaday was received. I assume this was his wife as there were no other Anns around at the time. There are several other mentions of Ann, so I assume this was the name she used. On March 29, 1806 there is a record of Mary, John and Nathan Canaday being received upon request of their father Walter Canaday.

On February 28, 1807 Ann and her daughter Mary were granted certificates to go to the Miami Monthly Meeting in south west Ohio. On march 28, Walter and family were granted certificates at the men's meeting. The family moved to Ohio and in 1807 there is a record of Walter Canaday and Nancy Canaday being received in the Miami Meeting. I guess she used both the name Nancy and Ann at various times. Also in 1807 the Fairfield Monthly Meeting was established in Highland County, Ohio near the town of Leesburg. Walter Canaday is listed as being one of the very early members there.

In 1821, Walter and his family transferred to the Center Meeting also in Ohio, and remained there until about 1829. Family records appear through out the middle 1820s in various Ohio meeting minutes such as Center, Fall Creek and other off-shoots of the Miami Monthly Meeting.

In 1829, several of the children moved to Indiana, but it appears Walter and Nancy Ann remained with the Fall Creek Meeting in Highland County, Ohio. In July of 1838, most of the children transferred to the Vermilion (Illinois) Monthly Meeting. Vermilion was just across the border from Indiana, so they may have remained in Indiana while going to church in Illinois. I do not know. In the early 1840s, some children including Riley moved to the Salem Monthly Meeting in Iowa.

There is a record on May 22, 1844 in the Fall Creek Minutes indicating Walter and wife were granted certificates to go to the new Salem Monthly Meeting in Iowa. This is the last record I have for Walter and Nancy Ann Canaday. I assume they remained in Iowa (or western Illinois) for the rest of their lives.

There were two distinct Walter Canadays who both moved into Ohio a year or so apart. I have tried my best to separate them and their children, but am not totally positive who was who.

Notes for Robert Canaday:
Robert Canaday was born in North Carolina on January 13, 1777. In the spring of 1797 he went with his family to Jefferson County, Tennessee. There, on January 20, 1806, he was licensed to marry his first cousin, Amy Sumner. Amy was the daughter of Joshua and Sarah Cox Sumner; Joshua was a son of Phoebe Beals Canaday in her second marriage to Robert Sumner. Amy was born in the Guilford County area of North Carolina on April 24, 1782. Her family went with the Canadays to Tennessee.

Robert and Amy had five children while living in Tennessee. Then with others of the family, Robert and his family moved to Wayne County, Indiana Territory, and settled near the present town of Economy, Indiana. They were received into the Whitewater Monthly Meeting on April 29, 1815. While in Indiana, the last five children were born; four by Amy before she died.

They transferred to the New Garden Meeting, also in Wayne County, on September 30, 1815.

Robert Canaday was an early pioneer in Indiana which had just become a state in 1816, formed out of the old Northwest Territory. In 1819, he built a sawmill about a half mile outside Economy on Martindale's Creek. A meeting house was built in Economy in 1816 and the family joined as members. This new church was called the Springfield Meeting.

Amy Sumner Canaday died September 26, 1823. Some four years later on September 18, 1827, Robert married one of Amy's sisters, Sarah Sumner who was born May 27, 1784, and they had one more child, Lindsay, the tenth, in 1829. Robert died August 5, 1836. Sarah died January 4, 1865

Notes for Robert Canaday:
Robert Canaday was born in North Carolina on January 13, 1777. In the spring of 1797 he went with his family to Jefferson County, Tennessee. There, on January 20, 1806, he was licensed to marry his first cousin, Amy Sumner. Amy was the daughter of Joshua and Sarah Cox Sumner; Joshua was a son of Phoebe Beals Canaday in her second marriage to Robert Sumner. Amy was born in the Guilford County area of North Carolina on April 24, 1782. Her family went with the Canadays to Tennessee.

Robert and Amy had five children while living in Tennessee. Then with others of the family, Robert and his family moved to Wayne County, Indiana Territory, and settled near the present town of Economy, Indiana. They were received into the Whitewater Monthly Meeting on April 29, 1815. While in Indiana, the last five children were born; four by Amy before she died.

They transferred to the New Garden Meeting, also in Wayne County, on September 30, 1815.

Robert Canaday was an early pioneer in Indiana which had just become a state in 1816, formed out of the old Northwest Territory. In 1819, he built a sawmill about a half mile outside Economy on Martindale's Creek. A meeting house was built in Economy in 1816 and the family joined as members. This new church was called the Springfield Meeting.

Amy Sumner Canaday died September 26, 1823. Some four years later on September 18, 1827, Robert married one of Amy's sisters, Sarah Sumner who was born May 27, 1784, and they had one more child, Lindsay, the tenth, in 1829. Robert died August 5, 1836. Sarah died January 4, 1865

34. Bowater19 Canaday (John18, Phoebe17 Beals, John16, Mary15 Clayton, William14, Thomas13, William12, Thomas11, John10, Robert9 De Clayton, Thomas8, John7, Thomas6, John5, John4, John3, Ralph2, John1) was born June 15, 1768 in New Garden, Rowan or Guilford Co., NC. He married Mary Russell Bet. 1790 - 1796 in Guilford, NC, daughter of Habbakuk Russell and Mary Ann. She was born Aft. 1768.

Notes for Bowater Canaday:
Bowater was named for his great grand mother's family. He was born on May 14, 1768. He remained with the family in North Carolina, and in 1797 moved with his parents and brothers to Jefferson County, Tennessee.

He married Mary Russell, daughter of William & Mary Russell. Mary was born on October 1, 1772 in Delaware. Now, I am not certain when they were married. On August 19, 1797 the Lost Creek (Tennessee) Monthly Meeting minutes cite him being condemned for marrying contrary to discipline. Their first child was born in October of 1797 so I assume they were married sometime in 1796 while still in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Bowater, or Boater as he was known, and Mary had their nine children while in Jefferson County, Tennessee. On July 27, 1816 Boater and Mary and the family received certificates to go to the White Water Meeting in Indiana. On October 26, 1816, they were received by the White Water meeting. They transferred to the West Grove (also Wayne County) Indiana Meeting and remained their until 1836. Their certificates were received by the Vermilion, Illinois Meeting on May 7, 1836.

Boater and Mary and several of their children along with some of his other brothers moved to Vermilion County. Henry was the first, coming in 1821. Boater and Mary remained their until the were discharged to go to the Salem Monthly Meeting in Iowa on November 2, 1844.

John Wesley Woods

John Wesley Woods, a financier of high standing, is also classed with
Ashland's leading attorneys and fills an important place in the life
of his community. He was born February 6, 1871, in Webbville, Lawrence
county, Kentucky, of which his father, William Henry Woods, was a
lifelong resident and a representative of one of its pioneer families.
The mother, Mary (Bentley) Woods, was a native of Letcher county,
Kentucky, and a daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Baker) Bentley,
early settlers in that section of the state. William H. Woods was a
prosperous farmer and stock dealer and also found time for public
affairs, serving as county judge. He was born May 4, 1842, and his
life was terminated July 17, 1912. His wife was born in 1851 and her
demise occurred in 1883.

In the acquirement of an education John W. Woods attended the public
schools of Lawrence county and next matriculated in the State College
of Kentucky at Lexington, from which he received the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in 1896. He studied law under the direction of
Alexander Lackey, of Louisa, Kentucky, and in 1897 was admitted to the
bar. Mr. Woods followed his profession in Louisa until 1902 and for a
quarter of a century has been engaged in practice in Ashland. His
legal learning, his analytical mind, the readiness with which he
grasps the points in an argument, all combine to make him one of the
foremost members of the local bar, and his clientele has assumed large
proportions. He is equally well versed in financial affairs and wisely
and successfully controls the operations of the Third National Bank of
Ashland, of which he is the president. He aided in organizing the
Ashland Building & Loan Association, of which he is a director, and
represents the Southern Securities Corporation of Ashland in a similar
capacity.

Mr. Woods was married June 29, 1909, to Miss Frances Mills Peebles, a
daughter of Robert and Harriet (Boal) Peebles, of Ashland. Mr. and
Mrs. Woods have become the parents of six children: Mary Bentley, who
was born July 4, 1910; John Wesley, Jr., born March 19, 1912; Robert
Peebles, born June 20, 1913; Francis Halstead, born April 19, 1915;
Harriet Boal, born December 25, 1918; and William Winton, born July 15,
1920.

Mr. Woods is an adherent of the democratic party and from 1906 until
1910 was county attorney of Boyd county, discharging his duties with
fidelity and efficiency. He is a Mason and belongs to the Kiwanis Club
and to Sigma Chi, a college fraternity. He manifests a keen interest
in matters affecting the welfare and progress of his community and
possesses that sense of honor which constitutes the vital essence of
the gentleman.

Well, obtaining a death certificate for Elizabeth might be easier
than you may first think, since the record would be listed under her
*married* name at the time of her death, rather than her maiden name.
(A birth record would be under her maiden name, naturally, but the
death record would be listed under the surname she had at the time of
her demise. Since she was in her 90s in the 1930s, though, a birth
record for her is highly unlikely to exist unless it was recorded in
a family bible. The death record _should_ list her maiden name,
her place of birth, and possibly even her spouse, parents and their
places of birth, her place of burial, the undertaker, attending
physician [if any] and cause of death.)

The best place to start for a search of the death record would be the
West Virginia Vital Records Information office:

http://vitalrec.com/wv.html

For a copy of the article, you might want to contact the Welch/
McDowell County library to see if they may have a microfilm of that
newspaper available in which they could copy the article for you.
Fortunately, they are now online, and you can contact them through
their website:

http://raleigh.lib.wv.us/mcdowell/mcdowell

If they don't have the newspaper films there, the next best place I
could think would be the State Library at Charleston. They have lots
of local-level newspapers on microfilm in their holdings and may be
able to quickly locate the article you're seeking.

Hope that's of some help. :-)

Happy hunting!

This could very well be wrong as their children were being born before this unless I got the census date wrong and it was an 1890 census above.

Children of Elizabeth Harris and James Hayton are:
104 i. James23 Hayton.
105 ii. May Hayton. She married Gibson.
106 iii. Sallie Hayton.
107 iv. Minnie Hayton, born Abt. 1875 in WV.
108 v. Henrietta Hayton, born Abt. 1878 in WV.
109 vi. John Hayton, born Abt. 1879 in WV.
110 vii. Joseph Franklin Hayton, born July 15, 1887 in Lawrence Co.,KY.

Notes for Joseph Franklin Hayton:

Joseph Franklin Hayton
born 7-15-1887 Lawrence Co.,KY
father James Madison Hayton
mother Elizabeth T. Harris
Film# 446092 Page# 0023 Reference # 42896
Either Josephs year of birth is wrong or Nancy Jane his sister's is wrong. I believe it was hers because she was probably too young to get married when she did.

111 viii. Nancy Jane Hayton (Source: (1) Kathy.ftw, Date of Import: Sep 28, 1999., (2) Kathy.ftw, Date of Import: Sep 29, 1999.), born December 25, 1887; died March 19, 1957. She married George Washington Lilly (Source: (1) Kathy.ftw, Date of Import: Sep 28, 1999., (2) Kathy.ftw, Date of Import: Sep 29, 1999.) May 04, 1905 in Welch, McDowell Co.,WV; born November 25, 1867; died November 07, 1956.

Notes for Nancy Jane Hayton:
The marriage liscence says that Nancy was 22 when she married and George was 32. I don't believe that she was quite 22. That would put her date of birth several years earlier. Also according to the date of birth of her oldest daughter she must have been quite pregnant.

112 ix. Rebecca Carolyn Hayton, born November 15, 1898 in Russell Co.,VA. She married Cook.
