HISTORY OF THE CANTER FAMILY IN SOUTHERN OHIO

In 1816, salt seemed to be scarce and a group of people set out from West Virginia and Kentucky in search of salt. In that group were several Canters and Wells, which were the ancestors of this group.

In that day, deer would travel once a week from West Virginia to Ohio for salt. Some of their trails led to the northwestern part of Jackson County on Salt Creek. The group of people came upon some of the deer trails which led to Salt Creek, and they went into camp at a place which is known as Canter's Caves, northwest of Jackson, Ohio. While in camp there, someone predicted that the world would come to an end on a certain day. So when that day came, they all went into the cave and took turns coming out to the mouth of the cave to see if anything had happened. But their report was always "a bright sunny day" and nothing happened out of order on that day. So that place was called Canter's Caves from that day to the present time.

Most of the group of people settled in Ohio. William Canter located in Scioto County, and Henry Canter in Hamilton Twp, Jackson County, near the Canter homestead.
