Illegitimate CANADY great-grandmother
My great-grandmother was born Sarah Jane Melvina CANADY on October 13, 1875 in Medora (Jackson Co.), IN.Her mother was Martha NEWTON (b. 5/3/1860).Although there is no record of Martha NEWTON ever marrying a CANADY, this is the name she put on her daughter's birth certificate.All ggrandma ever heard about her background was, not to be ashamed because she came from "good stock."I know this is extremely sketchy, but I'm hoping that the time frame, area, and interesting name of Melvina might be some clues that tie this puzzle together.My grandmother (Sarah Jane's daughter) is 90 years old and would love to know about her mother's family, so any information would be appreciated.
