Hi Debbie,
I don't know where you got the reference, but I've been trying to
follow it for several years to find the parents of Malinda WELLS
CANTER. The nice people in Woodford Co., can find no record of any
WELLS in that area anywhere near that time.
Anyone have any info on Malinda's ancestry?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Subject: Harrison Canter
I was looking on my computer and found this article that I had
downloaded. I can't remember where I got it, (maybe someone on this
list)
but I thought maybe someone would be interested in seeing it.
HISTORY OF LOWER SCIOTO VALLEY - BIOGRAPHICAL
Harrison Canter was born August 25, 1833, a son of Henry and Malinda
Canter. The former being a native of Virginia, and the latter born
December 25, 1808 in Woodford Co. Kentucky. Henry Canter came to
Lawrence
County, Ohio in an early day, where he lived till his death June 17,
1856. Our subject spent his youth in helping his father on the farm
and
in attending the common schools, where he obtained a fair education.
He
was married Feb. 3, 1859 to Hannah, daughter of John and Eliza
Keller,
who are yet living in Jackson County. They had nine children;
Amanda
(deceased), David F., Ermilda, John W., Henry, Lizzie, George W.
Martha
J., and Thomas M. Mr. Canter has followed farming through life, and
now
owns 164 acres of land in Hamilton Township, which is underlaid with
three veins of fine coal, ranging from 14 to 36 inches in thickness
and
also a good vein of iron ore. Mr. Canter has acted as Justice of the
Peace for six consecutive years, and in 1874 was elected township
treasurer.
There is also an article there on Jackson Gilliland, son of Samuel
and
Sarah Gilliland, if anyone is interested in seeing that article then
I
will post it.
Debbie
