Hello Heather,

My 3rd great grandmother was Mary Adaline CANTERBURY. She married William Gardner HATTEN on 11 Dec 1836. Mary was b. 4 Feb 1818 in VA. They lived in Cabell and Wayne Cos., VA until the mid 1860s when the moved west. In 1850, there is a Joseph CANTERBERRY aged 40 living in their household. Mary named a son, Joel. There is a girl the right age to be Mary in the household of Joel CANTERBURY in 1820 and 1830. In one census (1870) it gives Mary's birthplace as OH. That's where Joel CANTERBURY ended up (in Gallia Co.). I'd be interested in hearing how you are descended from Joel CANTERBURY and if you have learned anything else about the family since posting this message. Thanks.
