Quoted from History of Farmington, Maine by Thomas Parker, pg 23-4.
- William Kannady, as has been stated, commenced on what has since been called the Heath Farm, in 1781, where he made a permanent settlement. He erected a log house on the first rise from the intervale. In Jan. 1788 his wife died. She was the third adult who had died in the town. Mr. Philip Davenport, who lived near the present site of Fairbank's Bridge, lost a child a few days before, and they were both buried in what is called the Old Burying Ground, near the Center Bridge. This was the first Burying Ground in town. Mr. Kannady was afterwards married to Sarah Smith. They accompanied Mr. Craig to Hallowell for that purpose. He continued on the farm on which he first began till 1792, when he sold to Benjamin Heath, from Freetown, Mass.... Mr, Kannady removed to what is now Temple, and, after a number of removals he again settled in Farmington, where he died in 1820, aged 57. His wife was living in 1846.
