CANNADY, KENNEDY

M. KENNEDY (male) age 32 appears on page 100 of the 1880 Knox County, TN census report. I do not have access to the microfilm. Is this the father of my g-grandmother, Lizzie (Elizabeth) CANNADY (KENNEDY) who was born 28 Nov 1876? Per her death certificate her father's name was Marion CANNADY. Lizzie would have been 3 or 4 years old in 1880. I would deeply appreciate it if someone would check out this family and advise me whether or not it is "mine" Thank you!

ALEXANDER (ELIC) WILSON, ELIZABETH MILLER

I am searching for any information on ALEXANDER WILSON AND ELIZABETH MILLER. Knox Co. marriage records indicate that they were married there Oct. 19, 1865. The children form this marriage were SAMEUL WILSON, FRANK WILSON, ARCH WILSON, GROVER WILSON, ELMINA WILSON, ETHEL WILSON and ROBERT CROCKETT WILSON my grandfather. ALEXANDER WILSON and ELIZABETH MILLER names appear in a private act of the State of TN. in 1833 granting citizenship to Cherokee indians, do not know if these are my grand parents. Can not find Alexander Wilson in any of the Knox Co. census records. Alexander Wilson and Elizabeth Miller moved to Wise Co. VA. some time near or shortly after the turn of the century. They lived in Big Stone VA. My grandfather ROBERT CROCKETT WILSON was borned May 4, 1880 died Sept. 5, 1917. He is buried at Cadet near Big Stone VA. Would very much apperciate any inf! ormation on the WILSON family.
