Nancy Jane "Nannie" 6 Canaday (Martha "Biddy" 5 Wright, Joshua 4 , Martha 3 Kennerly, Joshua 2 , William 1 ) was born December 08, 1808 in VA 11 , and died May 06, 1892 in Warren Co., Tenn. She married Anderson Lafayette Taylor January 12, 1832, son of David Taylor and Nancy Penn. He was born January 01, 1805 in Virginia, and died January 07, 1892 in Warren Co., TN. Notes for Anderson Lafayette Taylor: Few areas in the United States symbolize the American pioneer spirit more than Cumberland Gap. Crossing the gap meant encountering America's first western frontier and symbolically severing European ties. Between 1760 and 1850 more than 300,000 people walked, rode, or were carried over the Appalachian Mountains through Cumberland Gap. Formed by a stream and enlarged by wind and weather, the Cumberland Gap, named by surveyor Thomas Walker for his English patron, the Duke of Cumberland, son of George II of England, is fifteen hundred feet above sea level. Various types of sediments including shells, shale, limestone, and gravel surround the area and attest to the great earth disturbances that formed the gap. 12
Settlers followed a trail over the gap initially used by Native Americans, who had enlarged it from an animal trace. They were entering a prized hunting ground, coveted by the Shawnees to the north and Cherokees to the south. The French and Indian War, followed by the American Revolution, briefly halted white settlement. But with the restoration of peace, the flow of hunters, settlers, and land speculators through Cumberland Gap was resumed. Perhaps the most famous traveler was Daniel Boone, who agreed to take settlers north into Kentucky after first making several hunting trips through the gap. By 1800 the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia claimed the area through the Cumberland Gap. After 1840 a weekly stage carried freight, mail, and passengers and gave the area a prosperous commercial appearance. During the Civil War, the gap changed hands four times as the North and South fought for control of this strategic gateway. Initially considered part of Kentucky, and therefore under Union control, the first troops to occupy the Cumberland Gap were Confederate forces under the command of Brigadier General Felix K. Zollicoffer. Union commander Brigadier General George W. Morgan took the "American Gibraltar" on June 18, 1862. Morgan did not remain at the gap, however, and Confederates reoccupied the area immediately. After a year of inactivity, Union forces reappeared, and Major General Ambrose E. Burnside demanded and received unconditional surrender. The gap was not seriously threatened again during the remainder of the war. In 1841, Fate and Nannie Taylor came through the Gap with 5 of their children. As one descendent put it "Nannie had one in her arms and one in her belly." One son died on the way and the youngest Mariah Jane died after they reached Tennessee but a new daughter was born 2 years later and named for the dead infant. Martha Jane Taylor who became my great grandmother. More About Anderson Taylor and Nancy Canaday: Marriage: January 12, 1832 Children of Nancy Canaday and Anderson Taylor are: + 57 i.
