Maurice Gannaway was born at Sandidges, VA in 1899 to Gideon and Minnie
Alice (Bowles) Gannaway. The house and farm where he was raised was purchased in
1915 by my g-grandfather George A. Mays when Gideon Gannaway and his younger
children moved to Lynchburg. The Gannaway story and other family members
are in Vol. I of Amherst County Heritage. Martha Emma Gannaway, sister to
Maurice and now deceased, wrote fondly of her family life at Sandidges. Her
story is published in Vol. II of the above mentioned book. Lots of Cunninghams
in Vol. I of above book but a quick scan did not connect with any of your
mentioned names.
Robert Tait is mentioned briefly in Vol. I of above book as selling
Spring Garden Estate in September 1921.
William Coleman mentioned briefly as son of Lindsey and other siblings
in same book.
I am not connected to any of these families other than currently owning
the Gannaway farm at Sandidges/Mt. Pleasant.
