I still can't see that you have told us where the grave was. So far you have told us that he has one child Grover that you know the name of and that he was married in Virginia. Do you know:
- Location of grave?
- Was Grover born in Virginia and do you know when?
- Do you know the name of Grover's mother?
- Have you looked for Grover on any censuses?
- What were then names of the other Kanneys that he is buried alongside?

Charles was burried in Albermarle County in VA, so that website seems to be accurate. Here is the info about the gravesite and those near his grave.

Lot 9
142.   CHARLES KANNEY; BORN IN IRELAND; DIED JAN 1, 1926
143.   MCCRAY A KANNEY; 1891 - 1971
144.   BERTHA M KANNEY; 1895 - 1957
145.   LILLIAN FRANCES KANNEY; DAU. OF MA & BM KENNEY; JULY 14, 1922 - JAN 29, 1923

Notice the childs parents surname is different than their gravestone listing.

The previous link I gave you had Grover C - perhaps Charles. I see now it's probably Cleveland.

Here is a JW Kanney with father Charles https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XRC3-QXL

Hei Jeff,
Does this grave for Grover Cleveland Kanney 1904-1981 belong to your family? If so, it could give a starting point for working backwards.

Thanks Craclyn. He was my Grandfather. My father was also Grover Cleveland Kanney and is at the same cemetary. He past in 1987 I believe.

My Great Grandfather was also Grover C. Kanney and commited suicide after his wife died during child birth. Before him is when the history get fuzzy.
