Some historic background: Many people think the Canova name is Italian. It is true, however many Canovas in the USA are of Spanish descent from the island of Menorca. Antonio Canoves was from Menorca and was a farmer. On Febuary 11, 1768 he signed a contract with Dr. Andrew Turnbull to imigrate to New Smyrna, Florida and homested land. He brought with him his wife and one son. Antonio eventually seeked refuge in Saint Augustine, Florida from the ill-fated settlement. More background information can be found from the following: |
