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.
(I) William Canterbury, believed to be brother of Cornelius Canterbury, was born in England and settled as early as 1638 in Salem, of which he was a proprietor at that time. He was in Lynn in 1641. He died June 1, 1663. He appears to have been a fisherman and owned a "fishing lot." His will was proved July 3, 1663, bequeathing to wife Beatrice, son John, daughters Ruth and Rebecca, and the latter's children, Joseph and Mary. The estate was divided July 29, 1684, after the death of the widow.
