JOHN CANNEY, a well known and highly respected resident of the town of Dover, where he owns a farm of 20 acres, has been active in many local positions of responsibility since the close of his services as a soldier in the Civil war. He was born at Barrington, N. H., December 16, 1845, and is a son of Isaac and Betsy (Cater) Canney.
Isaac Canney was a son of Samuel Canney, who was descendent from the pioneer of the family who came to the United States, located among the early settlers in Madbury, Strafford county, N. H. Isaac Canney, father of John Canney, spent the greater part of his life in Dover, where he died at the age of 69 years. He followed farming and was also a dealer in cattle. He married Betsy Cater, who was born at Barrington, N. H.
As soon as his boyhood school days were over, John Canney learned shoe making and worked at his trade and also as a farmer until he enlisted for service in the Civil war, becoming a member of Company E, First N. H. Cavalry, which was attached to the Army of the Potomac. He served for almost one year, being mainly engaged in scouting and raiding, and was then honorably discharged and returned to his Dover farm. For twelve years Mr. Canney has been in charge of the Rochester Fair Grounds during the annual exhibitions and few men in the county are more generally known, for the county fair brings residents of every section to Rochester, either as exhibitors or interested visitors. Dover also has reason to know him well and favorably, for he was assistant marshal on the police force of Dover for eight years. Mr. Canney married Miss Cynthia Huntoon, and they have one son, Lyman Canney, who is now a resident of East Pepperill, Mass.
