The surname Canterbury CANTERBURY is of ancient English origin, derived from the place name. In the early American records it is also spelled Cantlebury, Cantilbury, etc. There were two immigrants of the family in Massachusetts among the first settlers, Cornelius and William, mentioned below.
Cornelius Canterbury came to Hingham, Massachusetts, as early as 1639. He lived on Town (now North) street, near Thaxter bridge. He sold a house and two acres of land May 3, 1649, to Samuel Lincoln. He was constable in 1672. He was a cooper by trade. His widow Anna died December 20. 1710. He died October 21, 1683. His daughters, Ann Barnes, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, Hannah and Esther, petitioned January 29. 1683. for the division of his estate, as he was unable to make a will in his last sickness, and agreed that their mother should have oneseventh of the estate and twenty shillings a year from each of them. But the estate was not divided until September 14, 1711, when five daughters and one grandson, John Barnes, each received a sixth, the mother having died in the meantime, showing that no heirs bearing the Canterbury name survived.
