1. William1 Cannady, born say 1695, was a "Mallatto Servant man" who was listed with "Mallatto Servant" John Bird in the York County estate of Orlando Jones on 15 December 1719. William was valued at 15 pounds, and John Byrd was valued at 20 pounds, so they probably still had a few years to serve. William was free from his indenture before 19 December 1726 when Robert Laughton sued him in York County court for a debt of 1 pound, thirteen shillings. Matthew Hawkins was William's security [OW 15, pt. 2, 531; 16, pt. 2, 420, 426, 439]. He married Judith Bass sometime before her father John Bass made his 18 January 1732 Bertie County, North Carolina will. Her father left her 100 acres on the south side of Urahaw Swamp which became part of Northampton County in 1741 [SS 876/3:305]. William was living in Edgecombe County on 7 April 1744 when he and Judith sold this land in Northampton County [DB 1:175]. They were living in Guilford County on 27 January 1779 when they sold two parcels of 50 acres each in Northampton County on Urahaw Swamp [DB 6:326, 332]. They may have been the ancestors of

i. Judith, whose son Willie Cannady, born 1786, was bound an apprentice in Edgecombe County court on 21 May 1791.

ii. Jacob, born before 1776, head of a Halifax County, North Carolina household of 6 "free colored" in 1830 [NC:329]. The 11 October 1832 issue of the Roanoke Advocate advertised that there was a letter for him at the Halifax Post Office. He left a 24 October 1835 Halifax County will, proved February 1836, by which he left all his estate to Jacob H. Simpson Canady and John Felson Simpson Canady after the death of his wife Silley Canady [WB 4:125].

iii. Mary, head of a Halifax County household of 3 "other free" in 1810 [NC:3].
