Cannada Family Cemetery
Taylors, S.C.
January, 1999

The Cannada Family Cemetery, as it has been known for several generations 
in my family, is located on Lick Creek off St. Mark Rd. in Taylors.  In the 
cemetery there are some twenty four old headstones, most unreadable. These 
are all old fieldstones laid out in long neat rows. The Cannada family owned 
the surrounding land for many years and the cemetery was not used after 1883. 
In 1885 when the family sold the land it was noted on records that they 
retain " 1/2 acre to be used for a family burying ground". As the land changed 
hands over the years other deeds noted the family retain " 1/4 acre for a 
family graveyard." Information in ( ) is added to clarify what is known of 
the families.

Only three stones have any marking still readable:

"R.C. died Feb 17, 1883"  
( This being Rosa Davis Cannada, b.  1820, d. 17 Feb 1883, 2d wife of 
James J. Cannada. James and several of the other Cannada family are known 
to be buried here also.)

"John F. Raney, To The CAC Men" 
(no dates, this is John J. Rainey, b. 1850, d. 19 Apr. 1873, married Mary Jane Cannada)

One stone with the marking "1870" on the bottom, the upper portion being worn away.
