Looking for any info on my ggrandfather, Andrew Hamilton Canterbury born in Missouri. He married Ellen Agnes McGinnis in Susanville, CA in 1884. Looking for parents and/or siblings? Thanks!

I may have some information for you the Canterburys came from Virginia to Illinois and then to Mo Call me at 925 4868 thanks cousin

I'm not sure if I sent this last night or not, so forgive me if I already sent this. My grandfather had a brother Harry O. Canterbury. I have been looking for this family for a long time. Their father was John Burton Canterbury, born in Missouri. John's father was also John born in Virginia or W Virginia. Could these be relatives. Anxious to hear.

You mention in one message that you posted thet you had relatives in Illinois. That wouldn't happen to be Carmi Ill. would it?
I'm tring to find info on Jerome Canterbury, he would be my great grandfather. Rose

Carol,
I am also a great granddaughter of Andrew
Hamilton Canterbury and Ellen Agnes McGinnis.
I have no info about their parents but have
lots of info about one of their daughters (May Frances)and most of her children. Would
like to share info.
Joan

I'm so happy to hear from you! Since I posted to this message board I have collected extensive ancestry on both of them. Please email me at YoGramaC@aol.com. I think I also have a couple of pictures of May with my grandmother, Florence and their sister Ina. Carol

The Canterbury's in Illinois came here in 1823 from Kentucky, prior to that they came from Virginia, All Canterbury's in America are related. I have an extensive background for the family. There are some holes but it seems they came to America in 1638. Roger and Samuel I think they all stem from these men. Please call if you would like to discuss the family Harry Canterbury. The Missouri bunch left Illinois about 1855 or so and went to Burlington. I think that is your branch.

My maternal grandfather was Harry Raymond Canterbury (12-26-1898 to 5-13-1962), born in Charleston, WV. His mother was Maud Scott (June 1873 to ?) and his father was John David Canterbury (3-12-1861 to ?). John's father was Lewis J. Canterbury (1824 to Feb. 1910) and his wife was Elizabeth Woodward (1832 to 1903). Lewis' parents were James A. Canterbury (1805 to ?) and Ann Fellington (1802 to 6-29-1866).
My mother was Mary Virginia Canterbury Martin (4-27-1920 to 12-20-2008).
