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 http://members.aol.com/PeggyLoos/main.htm. 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.
