This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Canney. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Canney family emigrate to North America:
Canney Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Thomas Canney, who arrived in New England in 1631
- John Canney, who landed in Maryland in 1668
Canney Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
