Her maiden name remains unidentified. According to Isabel's marriage record on May 14, 1846 in Pike Co., KY, when she married Elliott Rutherford, it stated Isabel was the daughter of Elizabeth. At the time of the marriage, the law required the permission of a minor's father, which means her father Eli should have given permission, but only her mother Elizabeth gave consent. Since Isabel's parents Eli and Elizabeth were divorced at the time of Isabel's marriage, the clerk was evidently satisfied with Elizabeth's consent for Isabel's marriage. This suggests that at the time of Isabel's marriage, if someone's parents were divorced, either parent was able to sign for the consent of a marriage. Also, it was likely acceptable to receive permission from whichever parent the child lived with after the parents' divorce. The 1840 Logan Co., VA census showed Isabel was living with her mother Elizabeth because her father Eli did not have any females under the age of majority included in his household. However, Isabel's mother Elizabeth was listed as the head of her own household which was separate from her former husband Eli, and Elizabeth's household included a daughter whose age matched with Isabel. Since Isabel was living with her mother and not her father, then the clerk may have been satisfied with the permission of whichever parent Isabel lived with at the time of her marriage which was Isabel's mother Elizabeth. Since Isabel's grandfather Charles Canady (1770-1855) [GWRP-BJ2] was still alive in 1850, if he was her father, he would have given Isabel permission to get married. Since Charles did not give consent for her to get married, it suggests Charles was NOT Isabel's father. Otherwise, according to the law at the time, if Charles was Isabel's father, he would have given Isabel permission to get married. Since there were no other likely paternal candidates in the immediate area, it only left Elias "Eli" Canady as Isabel's father. Also, Isabel was listed as the next-door neighbor to her father Elias "Eli" Canady on the 1860 Logan Co., VA census, as well as her brothers Richard and Samuel. Even though Eli did not sign Isabel's marriage record giving her permission to get married, the close proximity on the 1860 census between Isabel, her brothers and Eli Canady overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that Elias or "Eli" was Isabel's father. Less Last Changed: October 11, 2023 J JoseOnline Andrew Canady Ruled out as Isabel's Father Since Isabel's closest neighbor with the surname Canady on the 1850 Pike Co., KY census was Andrew Jackson Canady and his wife Margaret (Hatfield), who were located only two households away, on the surface, this close proximity suggests it is possible that Isabel was Andrew's daughter. However, Isabel's mother was named Elizabeth, but Andrew's wife was not named Elizabeth because her name was Margaret (Hatfield). Therefore, this appears to rule out Andrew as Isabel's father. Also, Andrew was married to Margaret in 1824, which was before Isabel was born in 1826, and there is no record of any other wife for Andrew. Even though Andrew was not Isabel's father, her father Eli was Andrew's brother, which suggests Andrew was Isabel's uncle. Less Last Changed: April 14, 2023 J JoseOnline
