Not having delved too deep into the Canty family history, information on the clan prior to 1880 is thin. Seven years before her passing, Hanora was living in the small village of Millville, Woodford Co., Kentucky just 7 miles southeast of Frankfort. Owen, her husband, had already passed and she was living with her sons John (45), Patrick (46), and Owen (41). Also occupying the homestead was John's wife Hanna (40), their son Owen (8 months), Hanna's father James Brislan (70), and an unknown relation named Ellen Tarpy (68). The entire household, with the exception of the newly-arrived Owen, had been born in Ireland.
