Erasmus Canter Family Page
At this time, Thomas Canter is the oldest
link to our family--and we're not really sure about this. There is
still a great deal of mystery concerning just which Canter spawned the
Canters of southwestern VA and eastern TN. But we're working on it
diligently.
If you have comments or additions to make to this genealogy of the
Canters, please let me know.
