Biography

"Family trails across America: Higday, Ridgeway, Gannaway, Benefield, Van Slyck, Warren, Robertson and allied lines". Page 66. < Archive.Org >

As this pedigree probably goes back to the first years of the sixteenth century, and, by implication, to the preceding century, the'last comment may be accepted as a most pressing reason for leaving the dangerous field of politics to the tyrants of that age—the Medicis, the Borgias, and their ruthless contemporaries.
The pedigree resumes its counting of generations with Robert, son of John, who married Sallie Paget of London, whose son Edward took as wife Hilda Van Campen “of Holland, probably of Rotterdam.” Edward’s son Marmaduke likewise went out of England for a spouse, marrying Henrietta Campmartin (possibly of Toulouse.)
The son of this English-French marriage was John Gannaway, the emigrant, who followed the practice of his fathers in scorning English faces and looking favorably upon the daughters of other countries. His marriage in Barcelona, Spain, on Jan. 15, 1704, gives us the euphonious name of Zaida Larriategui, daughter of Pablo Puzarro Larriategui y Villa de Moros and his wife Lucia Oreamuno. Of his family, which is given in detail, it is remarked: “(Some of) his sons remained in Europe but three came to America and had families. Pedro went to his mother’s country (Spain) and found employment in the army, becoming a general; Philip lived out his life in the English navy; Lucia married her cousin in Virginia.”
