Here are Stan Brownings notes relating to Amy Stewart d/o Capt Ralph Stewart:

Amy Stewart, daughter of Capt. Ralph and Mary (Clay) Stewart was born 1806 in Virginia. She married John Canterbury of Monroe County, 20 December, 1824, in Giles County, Virginia. John Canterbury (1806-1870) was the son of Samuel Canterbury, brother of John Canterbury the Revolutionary War veteran from Monroe County, and Jane (Dicks) Canterbury.

John and Amy Canterbury came to the Clearfork area of Wyoming County about 1820 from Monroe County. John was a farmer, Baptist minister, and early mail carrier over the route from Red Sulpher Springs to Logan Courthouse. He was appointed Constable of District 2 in 1860.

John Canterbury was a long - time member of the Guyandotte Baptist Church. On November 7, 1829, at a meeting of the church, he was appointed on a committee to consider certain resolutions. However, “all was not well in River City" as in 1832 the church preferred a charge against John Canterbury for allowing dancing and drinking in his house.

John and Amy obviously believed in education; all of the Canterbury children were attending school in 1870. John was a mail carrier at one time. Also listed as a farmer in Wyoming Co., WVa.
