Good Morning Everyone,

I am searching for information on the family of Levi and Almeda Arnot
Canterbury. They were originally from Monroe County WV and settled
first in Lawrence County, OH and later moved to Gallia County, OH.

Levi was born c 1797, married 30 April 1816 in Monroe Co. WV to Almeda
Arnot, d/o Henry and Elizabeth Truesdale Arnot. On the 1840 Gallia
County OH Census there are listed the following children in the
household.

2 Males under 5: 1 Male 10-15: 1 Male 15-20: 1 Male 40-50
2 Females 5-10: 1 Female 10-15: 1 Female 15-20 and 1 Female 30-40

In my research, I have been able to identify 5 of Levi and Almeda's
children; John, b 1817; Levi, Jr, b 1835; Andrew, b 1839; Mary #, b 1842
and Eveline, b 1844. I am at a total loss as to who the other children
are that are mentioned in the 1840 census. John Canterbury, b 1817 was
already married prior to 1840 census. The 2 males under 5 are Levi, Jr
and Andrew. Male 40-50 is Levi, Sr. Female 30-40 is Almeda.

Would dearly appreciate any help that anyone can give me on this family.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Cathy
