I realize that the gravestone for Mary (Copeland) Canterbury says that she died in 1841. However, I do not believe that death year is correct. I have never seen any death record that shows her actual death date. Also, she is listed as living in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Monroe County census records. In 1850 and 1860 she is listed as living with her husband, Joshua Canterbury. In 1870 she is living in the Broyles household with her Broyles/Copeland family. This Broyles family is connected through her brother John's daughter, Nancy. So, for now I am going to leave her death as 1874. I have seen several people show 1874 as her death year…although I have never seen any proof of that date either. If anyone has any info that would help prove anything about her death…please contact me. I will be happy to make any changes necessary. I want the memorial to be as correct as possible.
