Census Records:
Robert is found in the 1850 census record in Malaga, Monroe, Ohio, USA, living in the home of his father James.
Robert is found in the 1860 census record for Ravanna, Mercer, Missouri, living with his wife, 4 children and his father.
Robert's father James died in 1862 without a will. After James' death, Robert was sued by family members who alleged that Robert owed money to the family estate. He was ordered to appear in court in 1863, but did not appear. He is presumed to have left Missouri prior to the trial date.
Robert appears in a Dec 31, 1864 story in The Montana Post, Virginia City, Montana. The story relates that his three daughters were out begging for aid. The story indicates that Robert was a gambler in Nevada (City) Missouri. His wife Charlotte was described as "a woman of the lowest grade".
While much has been written on the family, Robert Wilson Canary's date and place of death and burial location remain vague. It is generally agreed that he died about 1867, probably in Salt Lake, Utah.
