The Canter family made it's way from Maryland abt 1660 to Northern Va abt 1790, then thru the Shenandoah Valley to SW Va, then up the New River to the Kanawha River to the Ohio River, then into Lawrence, Jackson and Scioto Counties by 1800. My line eventually removed to Hocking County to work the Jobs mines. My granpap , Lester Canter, then moved to Belmont County where most of the family remained.
I know there are many Canters still in Hocking who are my relatives...anyone living near Jobs, Nelsonville, Murray City, etc...please respond to me at papcanter@yahoo.com
