Children of Zachariah Canterbury; Zachariah died 11 Sep 1852, age 80

  • Census-Zachariah Canterbury-1830-Bibb-age 50<60, 1 male - 15<20, 2 males - 10<15, females; 1 - 50<60, two lines below Daniel Canterbury
  • Census-1840-Bibb-Zacheriah Canterbury, 60<70, females 1-60<70, 2 lines below John J. Canterbury
  • Sarah his wife died 14 Sep 1851, age 77
  1. Samuel Canterberry-Heir in estate settlement of Zachariah Canterberry-Wife named Lavina
    1. Land-S6 T24N R9E W1/2NW-LandOffice-Tuscaloosa-LandLocation-Bibb-14 Dec 1826 - cash sale
    2. Land-S6 T24N R9E W1/2NW and SE1/4NW and NE1/4SW - 160.14 acres - sold on 23 Feb 1843 by Samuel Canterberry and his wife Lavina to Robert Hill- Witnesses Andrew S. Canterberry and Joshua Lewis-Note that 40.18 acres of this land was previously purchased by William Canterberry so how Samuel and his wife came into possession of this land is not known and it is very curious that they sold William's land to the administrator of his estate Robert Hill; it would seem that the monies from the sale of this land should have gone to the heir Missouri [Need to recheck the deed index to see if William sold this land to Samuel prior to his death]. The NE1/4 of the SW1/4 was originally patented to the subscribing witness Joshua Lewis on 01 Oct 1835.
    3. Land-S8 T24 R9E SE1/4SW1/4 - 40 and 20/100 acres - sold on 26 Sep 1844 by Samuel Canterbury & Lavina Canterbury his wife to Robert Ferguson and John Felsinger, witness: Ephraim McClain J.P. This tract of land was patented by William M. Baker on 20 Sep 1839. (Bibb County Deed Book F p. 16-17)
    4. Census -1830-Bibb County-Samuel Canterbury 20<30 [Samuel 50 year old in the 1850 Tippah census, born in TN], 1 male - 20<30, females: 1 - 15<20 [not in the household in 1850], 1 <5 [not in the household in 1850] Shadric Canterbury listed on the line below Samuel Canterbury
    5. Census-1840-Bibb-Samuel Canterbury 30<40 [age 50 in the 1850 Tippah, MS census], 1 male 5<10 [not in the household in 1850], females: 1-20<30 [not in the household in 1850], 1-10<15 [not in the household in 1850], 1-5<10 [Mary Ann Canterberry, age 18:1850 Tippah MS census, 2<5 [Rebecca, 16 and Sarah Ann, 14 in 1850 Tippah Co MS census]
    6. Census-1850-MS-Tippah-Samuel sold all of his land and seems to have moved to Tippah County, MS. Unfortunately his wife is no longer in the household or I would consider this a definite link. Son John Canterberry is age 2 in the census, so possibly she died during childbirth or after but before the 1850 census enumeration. The data matches with the previous census which am adding to the census data. Additional children Elijah, age 10; James H., age 8; Martha Jane, age 5; and John, age 2.

    7. Death-Estate administered by Robert Hill. On 31 Mar 1851, adm. filed for final settlement of estate on the second Monday in May next. Robert McIlvain was appointed guardian ad litem of the minor heirs of said estate. (p. 360 of Bibb County Book, probably Minutes Book) On 14 Apr 1851 Mary Williams late Mary Canterberry and widow of William Canterberry petitioned the court for her dower right of 1/3 of the property owned by her late husband. Property described as East half of the South East quarter and the South West quarter of the North East quarter and the South quarter of Section Two Township 24 of Ranges 8East. The only heir is Missouri Canterberry. [Land does not exactly match with land purchases]. The 5 commissioners who were appointed (not supposed to be related to the parties) to lay off the dower land were William Nichols, Robert Oldham, Robert Hill, David Vance, and James Hill. They laid off 58.20 acres (1/3 of the land) in Section 2, T24 and Range 8-East. On the same date, 12 May 1851, that Mary Williams was allowed her dower for her natural life, Robert Hill set forth the final settlement of the estate of William Canterberry. Mary Williams and Missouri Canterberry each were to receive 1/2 which was $40.28 and 1/2 cents. This was the net from the sale of the personal estate and deductions for the administrative charges. However the husband of Missouri, George M. Burns signed that he had received the settlement of $53.96 on 14 Aug 1855. The husband of Mary, Elias Williams signed that he received the settlement of $40.28 1/2 cents on 14 Aug 1855. [It seems that the entire settlement should have gone to Missouri if the statement is true that Mary was no longer living in August of 1855. See the marriage information for Missouri].
    8. Children-Missouri Canterberry - Heir named in estate settlement of Zachariah Canterberry, because she is the daughter of William Canterberry deceased

  2. Isaac M. Canterberry
    1. Note: Isaac M. Canterberry was issued a land patent to acreage in Bibb County AL. This may be Isaac Monroe Canterberry son of Shadrick Canterberry but because Isaac Monroe Canterberry and family are enumerated in the 1860 census in Tuscaloosa County one needs to verify that there was only one Isaac M. Canterberry during this time period.
